R2 VINs up to 503 (at least) now

[Katsudon]

These photos were from yesterday's press conference at Normal plant and shows up to a 503 VIN for the R2 -- see the #'s at upper rear window and front window.

I was able to confirm with various people at Rivian that these are indeed VINs

That is how many weeks to make 500 trucks? 4-5 weeks? 125 a week, 20 weeks left in the year, 2,500 total production? My mathing seems wrong. Maybe the second shift can add another 3k by years end.

I wouldn't use the current VIN and production rate to extrapolate. This is initial ramp and production rate will surely continue to scale up.

It ramps up. You don't start at max production on day 1 in auto manufacturing. The most important number for 2026 is the production rate in December. You want the factory cranking them out by the end of the year as 2027 is the big volume year for R2.

Started production April 22. About 30 a day or 1,000 month is the current rate. Will ramp obviously

I know a lot came out to California whether it was the Irvine HQ or Palo Alto but we need a community member to take a drone out over the factory and get some footage of a storage lot. There used to be a regular that did that but they seem to have dropped off X.

How do we know that’s not the # for the WEEK?

Ya'll must be new to vehicle ramps.

Production ramps like this follow a logistics curve. Extrapolation at this point would be like basing your lifetime expected earnings on what your parents gave you for allowance.

What pops out to me most is that these cars look amazing, super consistent fit and finish.

Yep. Moot to speculate. Nothing is meaningful until you are personally invited to finalize your order and provided a delivery window. There is no transparency on where you might get slotted in the production plans, how many are ahead of you, ebb and flow of supply needed to assemble cars without interruption, batching of production based on that flow of supply, as well as unplanned/unforeseen disruptions like weather (i.e. tornadoes). Too many variables.

I'd pay more to get the 503 VIN

Gotta say, were I to buy WHITE I would definitely put a PIN STRIPE at the hipline of the door skins, and rear quarter panel.. ;-)

Another factor - a lease ending soon can potentially help boost you in line
