Got my R1T on May 24. Exterior panel gaps, steering wheel vibration and other issues aside service was less than great but I ranted about it in another post. A month after getting the truck I called my guide and asked about the registration. I told the guide that I ship the truck out of state for the summer months and I will be traveling and asked to expedite the registration. He told me that temp registration is good for 90 days and they will take care of it before the temporary registration expires. Today (two weeks later) I receive the email:
Hi,
I hope you're doing great, and your R1T is still treating you well!
I wanted to reach out today because I just received better direction from our registration team regarding what we can do to speed up the registration process for your vehicle, and they informed me that it would be best at this point if we mail you all of your title & registration documents, including the Manufacturer Certificate of Origin, so that you can register your vehicle with your local DMV office in order to avoid any further processing delays.
I've asked them to send the documents needed to register your truck directly to your registration address, and we'll also refund any fees we had initially collected for the title and registration process, as well as the vehicle sales tax which will be collected by your DMV office.
I can't apologize enough for this inconvenience, but you can expect to receive your self-registration packet in the coming days, and here is the UPS tracking number to follow your packet along, 1Z151R8RNT342*****. Refunds are being processed separately but will arrive within a few days of your registration packet. Again, I'm sorry that this information hasn't been available until now and that we're shifting gears on the method of registration. But - I do believe at this point that it will be the quickest turn-around instead of using our processor.
If you have any additional questions about this process, please feel free to let me know!
Stay adventurous,
Anthony

I am in NY, truck is in NY and won’t be back until temporary registration expires. This is total bs.
