Initial car owner meeting and Flyover R7 delivery process.

Congrats on getting your RisingAuto R7! I was lucky enough to be the first person to pick up a car from RisingAuto’s Zhejiang center. I’ve been driving it for two days now and it feels fantastic. I’m looking forward to more people joining the R7 family.

Here are the standard steps for picking up your car:

1. Car inspection
2. Payment
3. Purchase insurance
4. Get temporary license plate at the delivery center
5. Delivery ceremony
6. Explanation from the delivery specialist
7. Final handover

However, since I was the first to pick up the car in Zhejiang, the ceremony was more elaborate and the order was different. We had the ceremony first, then we inspected the car.

The whole process took about 3-4 hours. Don’t forget to bring your ID, driver’s license and bank card when picking up the car.

During the car inspection, I recommend taking pictures and even videos for reference.
When inspecting the car’s exterior:

1. Examine the car paint for scratches and wear
2. Check the tire tread and look for the manufacturing date (located in four digits on the tire, like “3121” meaning the tire was manufactured in the 31st week of 2021)
3. Check the wheels for any scratches
4. Check the doors for smooth operation and loose parts, particularly electric doors
5. Check the vehicle identification number and make sure it matches the one on the passenger door frame
6. Look at the manufacturing date at the passenger door frame
7. Check the bumper for flatness and scratches
8. Verify the car’s configuration including color, battery range, and battery type for consistency with the original order.

Pay special attention to the bottom of the bumper to make sure it’s flat and without scratches.

Check the interior of the car:

1. Check the mileage: For new cars, it is normal for the vehicle to have a total mileage of less than 50 kilometers when picked up, as it is usually transported.

2. Check the lights: Check if the high beam, low beam, position light, fog light, reverse light, and hazard warning light are working properly.

3. Check the seats: Look for scratches, test the massage function, and try the heated and ventilated seats if available.

4. Check the infotainment screen: Check the network connection, slide smoothly, and test the voice control function, such as “Hi, RisingAuto”. Also, check that the Touch bar in the center armrest box is normal.

5. Check the windows: The rearview mirror, window, and sunroof should open and close smoothly without noise. Also, check that the vehicle’s window can be lowered to the lowest point, and ensure that the electric adjustment function of the rearview mirror works properly.

6. Check the accompanying accessories: Reflective vest and warning triangle.

7. Test the air conditioning: Turn on the hot and cold air for one minute each and ensure the air vents are working properly.

After carefully inspecting the vehicle, sign the delivery confirmation form to complete the inspection.

This is all that can be remembered. We welcome the car owners to add more. Have a pleasant experience picking up your car!
