Shopping for a “new” BEV while waiting for the Scout Traveler BEV.

[Scout_Lookout]

I hope Scout goes with a traditional Monroney Sticker and hosts a VIN-based lookup of the factory build sheet instead of hiding the digital sticker in the vehicle’s system. It would be fine to have that too. But there should be a more reliable way to pull the build sheet when shopping for used vehicles.

My partner was looking at used R1S options online and, as far as I can figure out, it’s basically impossible to figure out what options were built into the vehicle at the factory unless the random owner knows to and decides to take a photo of a particular screen buried in the menu of the vehicle. The sellers’ descriptions are too generic to be useful. The specs claimed on the various used vehicle databases are almost never accurate. The various VIN decoders out there are only partially useful.

All of that could be mitigated if Rivian just hosted a primary source database that can be searched by VIN to find the spec sheet.

Rivian's come with Monroney's they usually put them in the frunk at delivery. I still have mine in the plastic folder it came in.

Same. Mine is still sitting in the hidden compartment at the bottom of my frunk. I got a good deal at Launch!

I have all of my build info online at Rivian.com also, along with Docusigned paperwork records.

Good to hear and hope SM follow suit

I haven’t seen a single Window Sticker / Monroney sticker with any of the used Rivians we’ve looked at. Just some sellers include a photo of the digital approximation from somewhere in the menu on the main screen.

And I can’t find anything on Rivian’s site to look up a vehicle’s details based on VIN.

None of the CarFax results I’ve seen have the original window sticker option for Rivians either.

So, how does a used car buyer independently find the sticker / build sheet?

Ask the seller.

As mentioned above, all of my information is at Rivian.com and PW protected. All of my paperwork is provided via Docusign (so also PW protected). The physical print-out is located in a clear plastic sleeve exactly where it was delivered to me on delivery day - under the false floor in the lower frunk compartment (because I never bother to take it out).

Yeah, no. It’s not worth asking about every vehicle. We’re trying to independently verify specifications on a bunch of vehicles so we can compare them. Asking the sellers of all of those vehicles would be a waste of time and energy.

It should just be available via a simple database search.
