2023 Rivian R1T — buying a car 1,200 miles away without seeing it — buyer question from Dallas

TrackEnthusiastCommunity StarterFeb 5, 20262023 Rivian R1T Quad-MotorDallas
2023 Rivian R1T Quad-Motor, about 31,000 miles. A hard-to-find spec is several states away. Dealer has provided video and history, but I have not seen it in person. What is the best remote-buy checklist before sending money? I am in Dallas.

Useful — I will report back after I verify that on my 2023 Rivian R1T.

Before you spend money, on the 2023 Rivian R1T, I would treat a 12V warning as a no-ignore even if the pack is full.

If it were mine, compare a couple of chargers before blaming the 2023 Rivian R1T — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot.

One thing that mattered for me: I would not clear alerts before service can see them on the 2023 Rivian R1T.
