Before you visit

Is the visit free?

How long does a visit take?

About two hours. Most of it is spent inside the vans and on the factory floor, the rest talking through your build.

Which vans will I be able to see?

Whatever is at the factory that day: finished vans waiting for pickup and vans in the build. Tell us which model you're interested in when you book, and we'll let you know what you can see.

Can I bring my family?

Yes, bring everyone who'll travel in the van. It's the best way to check the space works for all of you.

I'm flying in. Which airport is closest?

Sacramento International Airport (SMF). Mention your travel dates when you book and we'll find a time that fits.

I can't come to Sacramento. What are my options?
