I took delivery of my R1T last Wednesday, May 4th, in Orlando, Fl. I am driving it to their service center next Thursday to repair some minor issues that I found in the first day or two. I wash/detail my own cars and most of my issues are cosmetic in nature, which I found during her first bath.
I have read many posts whereby people are having serious issues with their new deliveries and while I feel terrible for those individuals, I wanted to let people know, who are waiting for delivery, that there are many pleasant experiences. While I have 11 concerns to be addressed, none of them are serious and I expect all to be resolved by the Orlando SC.
Rivian has been top notch on their communication in scheduling my service visit and has an Enterprise rental lined up for me. I honestly expected more to be wrong with the vehicle and went through a similar process with my 2019 Tesla Model 3. As an early adopter I expected that there would be issues with the vehicle.
However, I am thoroughly impressed by the quality of the vehicle and the way it drives. It exceeded my expectations as does their service process so far. For everyone waiting for delivery the vehicle is everything that you thought it would be and more. In fact, I am so impressed with the vehicle I doubled down and bought more stock at $20 in order to lower my average cost per share. I am a believer in this brand over the long term.
