Did a pick-up of our R1S at Brooklyn this past Saturday. Copied here from my post in another thread:
Picked ours up today at the Brooklyn SC. What an odd place to have a Rivian center (Very industry wasteland vibe). Regardless, the place was packed, stacked, surrounded with T's and S's. They had just received a shipment this past week, and as we were getting our walk-thru on the S, another truckload showed up...blocking traffic. Lol. Our assistant said that probably brings the number to '100' onsite. I didn't see 100 but there was not an empty space, sidewalk, or space without a Rivian occupying It.
Though it was busy, they gave us the proper attention to look over the S and go thru all the setup etc. No rushing at all and very nice and thoughtful (Tips hat to Adena). All the panels were aligned well. Only two issues, a minor paint issue by hood and a broken plastic bolt cover under second row seat (I thought it was a release latch) . They did a paint repair right there and replaced the plastic piece.
The drive home was wonderful (though a long day). Driver+ worked well even in the rain. Two key cards, one carabiner, and one wrist key. Definitely end of quarter push, but didn't feel like 'another number'.
With all the Ts and Ss there, I expect many smiling faces for Christmas. Hope all my early pre-order forum-mates get theirs asap. All the other persons taking delivery there were late 2018, early 2019 orders.
1315 days from order to 'delivery'. Solid, great fit and finish, luxury feel...the drive home has initially convinced me it was worth the wait...commence the permagrin (as first coined by @DuckTruck)
PS-1st tune I played was Limelight by Rush. ...2nd was Iron Man by Black Sabbath. Had my playlist for the drive home.
