Amazon Prime Now delivers your tailgate needs to the 49ers’ Levi’s Stadium for free

Amazon’s Prime Now has been available in San Francisco since the free same-day delivery option debuted in May of last year. The service, however, is more about answering our innate need for instant gratification rather than some specific purpose. That’s changing thanks to a new partnership with the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers.

The team partnered with Amazon to allow its delivery trucks fulfill orders from tailgaters during any of the eight home games the team plays. This could be a useful feature, considering the fact that once you’re on the lot you can’t leave, and unless you’re super organized, you’ll probably forget something.

Choosing tailgate delivery is pretty simple. You’ll need to enter the zip code and then address of Levi’s Stadium (4900 Marie P DeBartolo Way, Santa Clara, CA 95054 if you need it). From there, you inform Amazon which lot you’re in, as well the closest parking flag number. Within two hours you’ll have what you need, and for an extra $8, you can get it in under any hour.

According to the 49ers, the service is only available in three lots, Red Lot 1, Green Lot 1, and Blue Lot 1, but this is where most tailgaters will set up. The service is available from 8 a.m. to midnight, so whether you’re getting there super-early to start the party or staying well after the game ends you should be covered.

“Amazon Prime Now is really the only company that could deliver the kind of options and reliability that our fans need on game day,” the team’s partnership coordinator Brent Schoeb said in a statement.

So if you’re going to the game this upcoming this Monday night against the L.A. Rams, go and give it a shot. Amazon is also offering $10 off a Prime Now order with the code “10PRIMENOW” at checkout, the company said.

Rivian offers $3,000 off select EVs to gasoline, hybrid vehicle drivers
Second-Gen Rivian R1S on a road

Early November typically kicks off the run-up to the Black Friday sales season, and this year, Rivian is betting it’s the perfect time to lure gasoline drivers toward its EVs.
If you own or lease a vehicle that runs on gasoline, which means even a hybrid vehicle, Rivian is ready to give you $3,000 off the purchase of one of its select fully electric vehicles -- no trade-in required.
The offer from the Irvine, California-based automaker extends to customers in the U.S. and Canada and runs through November 30, 2024. The program applies to Rivian 2025 R1S or R1T Dual Large, Dual Max, or Tri Max models purchased from R1 Shop.
Rivian’s new All-Electric Upgrade offer marks a change from a previous trade-in program that ran between April and June. There, owners of select 2018 gas-powered vehicles from Ford, Toyota, Jeep, Audi, and BMW could trade in their vehicle and receive up to $5,000 toward the purchase of a new Rivian.
This time, buyers of the R1S or R1T Rivian just need to provide proof of ownership or lease of a gas-powered or hybrid vehicle to receive the discount when they place their order.
Rivian is not going to be the only car maker offering discounts in November. Sluggish car sales from giants such as Stellantis and rising inventories of new cars due to improving supply chains suggest automakers and dealerships will be competing to offer big incentives through the year's end.
This follows several years of constrained supply following the COVID pandemic, which led to higher prices in North America.
According to CarEdge Insights, average selling prices for cars remain above what would be called affordable. But prices should continue improving along with rising inventories.
Stellantis brands are entering November with the most inventory, followed by GM and Ford, according to CarEdge. Toyota and Honda, meanwhile, have the least inventory, meaning they probably won’t be under pressure to offer big incentives.
