So, with the discussion going on about how Guide contact & delivery may be impacted by the presence of an operating service center, it made me wonder, what purpose Rivian has designed for their service centers.
Now, this may appear to be obvious, "to service vehicles, duh". But, if I recall correctly, traditional vehicle makers use their dealerships to do some final "prep" before delivering (selling) vehicles to customers. Is Rivian planning for the same thing (install final options, accommodate changes in customer decisions - e.g. tires) as well as a temporary storage location to accommodate delivery timing.
Is it possible, the Service Center becomes a final "resting place" for final tweaks and delivery scheduling before arriving to actual owners? Or do we expect a car carrier with 8+ R1T's to show up at one's house and deliver their specific vehicle direct from the factory? The more I think about it, the more I think it's the former (Factory to Service Center then to Owner).
Do others in the industry have a perspective? How does Tesla handle this?
R1S reservation holder (#18xx), currently Limestone / White - but will likely change after seeing colors in person
