Question 1

Are there Rivian dealerships in California?

Accepted Answer

Rivian doesn't use traditional dealerships — they sell direct (every R1T and R1S order ships from Rivian, not from a third-party dealer). Rivian's physical retail locations are called Rivian Spaces, and California has 16 of them. A Rivian Space is the closest equivalent to a dealership: a showroom where you can see the cars, talk to a Rivian Guide, and book a test drive.

Question 2

Where can I test drive a Rivian in California?

Accepted Answer

Most Rivian Spaces in California offer R1T and R1S test drives. Use the directory below or the Find Nearest button to locate the Space closest to you, and call ahead to confirm test-drive availability.

Question 3

Can I buy a Rivian at a Rivian Space?

Accepted Answer

No. Rivian sells direct, so all orders happen online at rivian.com. A Rivian Space is for in-person walkthroughs, accessory demos, test drives, and questions — not on-site purchase. Your vehicle ships direct from Rivian after you order online.
