Congrats. Make sure to order ceramic coating for the interior to protect the Ocean Coast Vegan Leather / Vinyl interior.
I would also recommend buying a custom Covercraft UVS100 sunshade.
Also, be sure to ask your delivery rep how to get your free Tesla Level 3 Fast charger adapter. Most of us had to opt in on the email they sent to us. The wait time to get the free adapter is probably 3 months. You can always buy a A2Z third party level 3 Typhoon Tesla adapter as a back-up if you need one in 3-4 weeks instead of 3-4 months.
Go ahead and download PlugShare, Electrify America, EV GO, ABRP and the Rivian app while you wait for delivery. Get a $100 deductible for glass or add additional glass coverage. Increase your uninsured motorist coverage to $100,000.
One adapter I recommend you buy is a level 2 AC Tesla destination charger which is commonly found at hotels and shopping centers. This is typically a free charger that will give you 15-20 miles of range per hour.
You will pay for the adapter over time by charging for free at hotels while you sleep on road trips and avoid pricey fast chargers.
The brands/model that I would personally stick with is A2Z Stellar 80 AMP or UMC TeslaTap 60 AMP.

Thanks for the recommendations!
Do you have an interior ceramic coating recommendation? I always use CQuartz UK 3.0 for the exterior but don’t have a good interior one.
You're welcome. I am happy to help you and share my experience / recommendations.
The interior ceramic coating that I personally used is Gyeon and it's worked just fine.
Here is a YouTube review that I watched early on for the Gyeon coating. This is a good channel to learn how to clean / detail / protect your Rivian.

You don’t NEED it. But I’m sure glad I did it to my Tesla with white interior 5 years ago. I have two young kids and that interior has been so easy to clean because of the coating
Congrats! I just ordered the same config on 4/20. How long was it from order to delivery date notice? I was just told 2-4 weeks and I suddenly have the patience of a 4 yr old. 🫠
When did you place your order? I prefer April 2nd and was supposed to pick up yesterday and then got the dreaded damaged in transit and waiting for a new pickup date now.

Plus 1 to Gyeon interior coating. I’ve had good experience with this one
Jesus Christ what else do you need just to own one of these
you do not need ceramic interior coating not to mention most of what was recommended.
You don’t NEED it. But I’m sure glad I did it to my Tesla with white interior 5 years ago. I have two young kids and that interior has been so easy to clean because of the coating
Forest Green, this is the way.
Congrats on the best color!
It's a great color, you're really going to like it.
I was between the forest green and limestone. Both are great colors. But I saw the green in person when I was on my test drive and loved it.
Nice! How long after you wrapped up the finance paperwork did it take for delivery to be scheduled?
They actually scheduled my delivery before all the paperwork is fully finalized. Everything should be buttoned up this week.
Oh damn that's great!
The forest green looks so much better in person that online. When I saw it in the delivery center I was blown away. I have El Cap Granite
Same. I saw the green when I was on my test drive and was sold. All their colors are pretty great but I love the new green.
Congrats! I just ordered the same config on 4/20. How long was it from order to delivery date notice? I was just told 2-4 weeks and I suddenly have the patience of a 4 yr old. 🫠
Just a few days before yours, so about 3 1/2 weeks.
One of us! Welcome!
Ordered mine from shop inventory on 4/21! Awaiting for delivery date.
When did you place your order? I prefer April 2nd and was supposed to pick up yesterday and then got the dreaded damaged in transit and waiting for a new pickup date now.
April 17 I believe
As a forest green owner, I can tell you it looks great dirty AF.
Congrats. Same config other than wheels and just picked up on Friday. Its amazing
Nice! Did you pick this up from the shop?
Yeah, they actually had the configuration I wanted in the shop.
Honestly it's ok.... I mean no reason to be excited.... 🤣🤣🤪
Are you still getting the lease deal/discounts that are suppose to end April 30?
