[New Email] Rivian offering discounted XPEL PPF to existing owners

[jjswan33]

Resilient XPEL paint protection shields your R1T from scuffs, chips and scratches.​ Exterior wear-and-tear is unavoidable for any vehicle, but especially one that’s built to explore. To help keep your R1T’s finish in like-new condition, we’re collaborating with XPEL, a leading provider of paint protection film. XPEL is now offering Rivian owners a discounted rate on durable wraps that protect your vehicle wherever you go.​ Wrap your R1T with XPEL Prevents wear.​ XPEL designed its paint protection film, or PPF, to cut down on damage to your vehicle from grit, gravel and road debris.​ Self-heals.​ It’s both durable and repairable — if it gets nicked or scratched, XPEL film can often be self-healed with a simple heat application to its surface.​ Protects value.​ Professionally installed PPF is an additional long-term way to care for the color and finish of your R1T. For a limited time, XPEL wraps are available at a Rivian-specific rate — and they’re backed by an XPEL warranty for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.​ Multiple options.​ Glossy, virtually invisible ULTIMATE PLUS™ wrap can be applied to the full front of your R1T. Or to give your vehicle an entirely different look, satin finish STEALTH™ wrap can be applied to the full body, as shown above.​ Easy to clean.​ XPEL’s developers have worked to make sure STEALTH and ULTIMATE PLUS are stain- and UV-resistant, won’t lift or delaminate, and let you easily wash your truck without damaging its finish.​ For more about XPEL paint protection for your Rivian, as well as pricing and installation information, follow the link below.​ Wrap your R1T with XPEL

@jjswan33 do you want to be the guinea pig for this?

 

[R1Sky Business]

All of us who spent thousands on PPF before this...

Actually I had gone to a PPF shop on Tuesday and talked to a guy, so I'm considering it. The guy I talked to thought they could most of my pinstriping out before putting on the PPF, and a couple of small dents. He said about $6k (Elite Protection Films in Boring OR). Also talked to him about some tint on the windshield and front windows. He was suggesting Exoshield for the roof but less sure about that since my roof already has a ding (that was repaired by a local shop).

So I submitted the form, so lets see who contacts me and what they say.... bottom line maybe.

I'm very impressed with the pricing. Considering it will be Rivians consistently going through the XPel plant, I have confidence they'll know the vehicles quirks when it comes to application and QA/QC

Looks like it will be local shops doing the work.

"Within 3-5 days, a participating XPEL dealer in your neighborhood will contact you with the information you’ve provided to schedule a consultation for purchasing one of these great protection options."

Question for PPF experts. Let's assume I go with a full wrap and drive it for 4-5 years. The PPF does its job well and takes all the small dents and scratches. Can I have it removed at that point and the underlying paint will look like the day it came off the line? (again, assuming the PPF did its job really well, which is probably overly optimistic)

Bah.... There were rumours the other day Xpel was building close to Rivian's plant. I was hoping it would be, out one factory, into the next, then on a truck to me.

Naw y'all good, 1/2 the warranty and they typically don't correct anything prior to a "full" stealth PPF install because you can't see imperfections.

Yup, that's about it. The longer the PPF is on the car, the less likely it'll come off in complete pieces, but everything underneath should be pristine. I've asked for more info on the stealth wrap; had that on a Model 3, which we ended up only keeping for a year, but loved the look of it. Prices around these parts would normally be ~$6k for an Xpel wrap.

I have a much better relationship with my local XPEL Detail guy than I ever will with Rivian. I can text him and get response within 5 minutes. The cost was also less and the warranty longer. I appreciate Rivian offering this service, but they are only acting like a middle man and not performing any real service. If this was done at the Rivian factory off the line, then that is something different. I would not have seen the paint issues my truck had, although, if it had been wrapped in Stealth at the factory. So to each his own and kudos to Rivian for offering it.

maybe it’s both? Maybe there’s this option for trucks in the field and a factory option will exist too? That my hope anyway.

That picture is making me reconsider everything I've thought to be true in life.
