I had been nervous reading some prior experiences on transferring ownership when buying a preowned Rivian and wanted to share my experience which could not have been any easier.
I already had an an account on Rivian as I do have an active preorder for a truck, but I have gotten a little tired of waiting and a great preowned R1T came available at a reputable dealership near me that I jumped on. Previous owners name was still in the truck which I needed to swap out for mine, but because I was buying from a preowned dealer I would have no way of getting in touch with them.
I simply initiated a chat with an agent on Rivian.com who asked for the VIN and then told me that the Guide who originally delivered that truck would email me and process the transfer. Within about 10 minutes I had a email from that guide asking for a copy of the bill of sale and copy of my drivers license, which I emailed to him. He said it would take 3-5 days to process the transfer however when I went out to the truck about 3 hours later the screen said "Welcome" and it was it, it was now in my name. Like I said it could not have been an easier process.
