Rivian applies to establish its first delivery center in Orange County

August 5, 2021

Rivian plans to establish a delivery center in Costa Mesa located in Orange County, California. The Rivian delivery center will also act as a 24/7 service and repair shop.

The property in question spans 2.96 acres (128,938 sq. ft.) and contains one building divided into three industrial condominiums with ancillary common spaces.

Rivian wants to improve the building by including a customer lounge, office area, restrooms, and employee break rooms. The company plans to combine two units to serve as an indoor serving area with vehicle lifts, parts, tools, storage, a technology center, and an indoor drive-through wash bay.

The EV maker also plans to install five Level 3 EV chargers and three Level 2 chargers at the side of the building. Plus, Rivian wants to install a new transformer at the rear of the building.

The EV automaker plans to use the part of the facility as a pre-inspection and delivery center. Before new vehicles are handed over to customers at the facility, Rivian will ship the cars to the delivery center in Costa Mesa and temporarily store them at the site between 2 to 14 days. While in storage, Rivian will inspect, charge, and detail the vehicles before delivering them to customers.

Rivian submitted an application to the city’s Planning Commission, requesting permission to service and repair motor vehicles at the facility, even though part of it is within 200 feet of residentially zoned property. The EV startup wants the facility to operate 24/7, offering standard services and repairs such as wheel alignment, hardware replacement, and software updates. Vehicles that require extensive repairs will be towed off-site to authorized body repair shops.

The Costa Mesa Planning Commission will discuss Rivian’s application in a meeting scheduled for August 9, 2021. Rivian aims to start deliveries of its R1T pickup truck this fall.

I knew choosing to live in Costa Mesa all those years ago would pay off! I'm curious to see where, specifically, they're looking to build it. I couldn't tell from the drawing/schematic.

The hearing information in one of the links above says:

261 Briggs Ave, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 (technically it's 261-263, but this will get it for you on a map).


I have also added it to my "RAN" google map, which has evolved into more than just the RAN itself:

Sweet, will be approved and built in 3 years after all the environmental protests, permit hell, etc...
...and don't forget 'stakeholders', i.e. any present of future special interest group or activist has the power to micromanage any and all aspects of the project, including rejection.

That is right around the corner from the Tesla Service Center on Pullman in Costa Mesa.

Applying for approval in the nations largest car market the month before deliveries begin. Procrastinate much?

First in Orange County doesn't mean first in California.

Proportionally speaking the Bay Area likes their EVs more than SoCal, and its first delivery/service center is basically done.

Agreed. The wording of the headline is misleading and makes it sound like "Rivian applies to establish its first delivery center. It is located in Orange County." It would be more appropriate to say "Rivian applies to establish its first Orange County delivery center."

Agreed. I was confused by this too. Why even use the word "first"? Wouldn't any Rivian service center at this point be the "first" in that area? Consequently, if there was a "second" one in any of the existing areas, that would indeed be newsworthy.
