Yes - All the horror stories definitely worried me, and who knows what's in store. I am at about 1200 miles now, ~1100 driven in Germany. I have heard of a tech flying to Hawaii to service the R's there but not sure how many there are, and pretty sure they wouldn't do it just for ONE in Europe. Though I do know a couple that are in other Eurasian countries (Netherlands, Kuwait).
Wow I am super excited to hear more about this!!!!
Our R1S Launch Edition has now arrived in Germany at the port of Hamburg and is now waiting in Bremen to be processed by customs. We are really looking forward to taking the train to Bremen and picking up the car. It is planned to drive the R1S in Germany first with a USA license plate and additional German insurance. I don't know how navigation works in Europe and how many of the features actually work in Europe. I'm not sure how to charge the car, I've already bought various adapters and hope it works and I don't get stranded on the freeway when I pick it up.
Post here or send me a message with the adapters you got. I can charge mine with AC and DC here. I use the CCS2 to CCS1 adapter by duosida for DC, but it works best if you are already at 50% or above, due to limited power throughput. I just use a CEE32 blue plug at home, but you can probably just use an adapter to charge with Shucko.

We also have to organize the recall campaign for the rear lights of the R1S in Europe, as there are still no repair stations in Europe. This will be a very exciting adventure!!

den Spass haben wir bestimmt, vielen Dank!!!!!
Ok, I have just tested and verified that I can charge my Rivian with the original NEMA 5-15 (110v) equipment and a grounded US to EU adapter. Ungrounded does not work. I would suggest finding one that supports 15A/250V. The ones on Amazon only say 10A/250V so they might melt. Here is a link to one:
We just did a test ride in Chicago and seriously considering to take one to Germany. I believe this charging thing can be worked out easily, but I wonder who it could be made road legal, i.e. getting rear indicator lights in amber rather red? How did you guys made that? Or does Zulassungsstelle allow for exeptions? Thanks!!Our R1S Launch Edition has now arrived in Germany at the port of Hamburg and is now waiting in Bremen to be processed by customs.

Der Rivian Verkäufer meinte übrigens, dass die LED Rücklichter auch gelb blinken könnten, das sei eine Softwareeinstellung. Bei Tesla ist das übrigens ähnlich, da wird nur das Land der Zulassung hinterlegt und Blinkerfarbe passt sich an. Aber vielleicht ist wirklich es einfacher die LED’s umzulöten. Ich bin ganz Ohr!!!
Hi, can you elaborate? registered through the US, but with a German plate? Thanks
