For deliveries would be nice to have a factory delivery option.

This concerns me way more on the manufacturing side because if they cannot get parts delivered they can’t build vehicles.

Hopefully the government will step in here, they already had a cooling off period ordered by Biden, any further steps will need to come from congress. This would be devastating to the attempts to get inflation under control if they allow this strike to cripple the supply chains.
Yeah, Rivian really needs to step it up and formalize factory delivery. That would solve part of the rail problem. But you are correct - this probably will have a significant impact on the inbound materials. For example, body panels are stamped in Normal. Rail would be the most efficient method of shipping the large sheets or rolls of aluminum to the plant, so I assume that's how it comes in. Ugh...

Same same. "All I can see is it is in-transit"
Or do you think this one guide is just picking random stops along the way to make it feel like there is movement? 😂
That would be a genius move.
that'd be seriously hilarious, next level moves

also, to give the rest of the "in-transit" people hope. I got a all randomly yesterday afternoon saying my Rivian was ready for pick up, could've been ready immediately. I scheduled it for Saturday so I can get the full family involved.

Are you picking up at El Segundo? If so, any idea when it arrived there? Thanks!

Costa Mesa and neither the delivery center or my guide has the arrival timeline apparently it from in-transit to "ready for pick up" and nothing in between

I have waited for loading my truck for 2 weeks. Today, my guide told me that " We are crazy about quality, and the vehicle goes through numerous inspections before the final inspection before delivery. On one of these inspections, the team identified that the vehicle’s hood would not close completely. My team is working on this fix today, and I hope I will have a more exciting update for you here soon. "

I don't know it is a big problem or just minor issue. Feel not happy anyway.

Is there any way to find out if the truck made it to the service center aside for asking my guide?
I feel like he is tired of the harassment lol.

Once mine arrived at the SC, I was contacted by an SC member rather than the guide.
Took about 4 weeks from Normal to El Segundo for me

I believe your guide is the only one who can tell you once it has made it to the SC. My guide told me this morning that my truck is at the SC but that at this point, he has no visibility to when it could be ready and to expect a call or something from the SC.

My local SC called me to tell me my truck had arrived and I actually told my guide I heard from the local SC. I think it just varies by guide and SC.
