Rivian Blue with the Black Mountain interior. Camp kitchen not available yet...
20" wheels with all terrain tires.
So the purchase process goes like this for those that are interested:
3/18 - Received and email to setup a time to speak with a guide.
3/21 - Guide wanted to speak mainly because of the delay with the Ocean Coast interior, had a call for about 40 minutes. My guide is Paimon, very pleasant to talk with and was helpful to understand the purchase process. Also was able to get my question answered about the 12 volt system. So yes the 12 volt system is constantly maintained by the main battery pack even when the truck is off. This was important to me because I plan to run a cooler in the front all the time.
3/24 - Emailed link to review and sign Preliminary Buyer's Agreement. Finished this on the 26th. Was traveling on business otherwise would have taken care of this sooner...
3/26 - Confirmation of the Preliminary Buyer's Agreement being signed.
3/26 - Logged into my rivian.com account and immediately saw the 8 steps to complete my purchase. Late at night, had work in the morning so started the next day.
3/27 - Steps are:
1. Title & Registration: setting up the names on the truck and uploading pictures (front and back) of drivers licenses
2. Trade-in: did not do this keeping my ICE truck, it goes 700 miles on a full tank of gas, so great for road trips, backup in case I need a spare vehicle, and its paid for!
3. Financing: Ended up not using the Rivian financing (though Chase I believe) because even with a 800+ credit score for 5 years its over 4%. I am financing through my local credit union at about 2%. You can also opt to pay in full here and setup a wire or ACH.
4. Insurance: Have not gotten this far. Getting a quote from a few places and then see what Rivian offers.
5. Upload Documents: again have not gotten this far
6. Sign Contracts
7. Payment
8. Schedule delivery
My guide called me this morning and told me that I should have my truck this weekend if I can get the financing and insurance taken care of in a reasonable time.
My credit union reached out to me today. I forgot to unfreeze my credit! They told me I should have a decision in the next 24 to 48 hours. Funds available before end of week.
Will post updates as I have them.
