what defects should I look for upon delivery?

[domoplaytime]

I've got a guide assigned now so I'd like to finalize my delivery checklist for inspecting and testing the new vehicle within the return window. I also want to have a comprehensive set of issues to report to Rivian to ensure the quickest prioritization and fewest trips to the service center. Please let me know if I'm missing anything in this doc (text copied below).

I am FINALLY taking delivery in 2 hours here in San Diego and will be using your checklist for sure. A huge thanks for sharing.

Not only that but the DELIVERY CENTER I picked up from in San Diego suggested I use this list as a comprehensive checklist - bravo when OEM takes notice its fire

Wow, thanks for letting me know. I wonder if Rivian will let me take factory delivery if I agree to QA a few trucks while I'm there

I’m not sure if this is serious or a joke.

Who the hell has the time or patience for all this? Honestly

It did not take but 90 mins start to finish and it was an EXCELLENT checklist.
If you do not have time for it, don't do it . . , no need to mock a man that literally Rivian is mentioning at customer pick up.

Again, THANK YOU for the checklist and apparently Rivian agrees.

I had this check off list from the same previous post, there are a couple of others, this is the best IMO. Tuesday I pick up my R1T Max pack and I will use this list for sure. My Guide said (multiple times) "take your time accepting delivery and note anything you find or have questions about". I made my deposit in April 2021, so I have developed a relationship with my guide. He knows they messed part of my order so it took another 6 months when I was good about it he thanked me. So, I feel like he is looking out for me.
I don't expect to find anything, but if one thing pops up I want to call it out so it can get fixed. Plus this is my fist EV, I am taking my time to learn and enjoy the process.

I take delivery today! I'm not a crawl under the truck and look at balljoints kinda person (I wouldn't know what I'm looking for), but I'll go through what I can. Thanks for posting the list. I don't think it will be helpful that my wife will be there with my 6 and 8 year old who are super excited about Daddy's sweet new ride haha
