I'm happy for all of those who have ordered and getting their VINs and deliveries scheduled, etc etc....

But misery loves company and I'm starting to feel pretty lonely...
I understand the folks with R1s getting to order already, but there seem to be quite a few non-owners as well.... I had an early day one reservation like most others, so I don't know what the other considerations are that we aren't seeing.

So I'm creating this thread for those of us who feel like the sad puppy out in the rain.... where we can commiserate as being a part of the "unchosen" masses.
For those who say "you're just whining..", you're damn right I'm whining, and I'd like to hear from others who feel the same way.

Day 1 reservation holder right at launch release at the reveal party here in Nashville… but we are in no hurry. We have a good vehicle that we are handing down to a kid that’s just at driving age. We are however flipping from the premium trim to launch since they are throwing in all the stuff we were going to add anyways making the price difference between the two less than $2k!

I’ll keep you company in this misery, more so after July 3rd when I turn my current vehicle over and am currently without a bridge plan.
Day 1 reservation. I wasn’t early in the day, I think I waited until after work to make my reservation. I am 100 miles from the Normal factory.
Maybe I’ll go stand out there with a sign.

Day 1 2x resys with one at 1010 and one at 1039 (now that someone said we should pay attention to that?) R1T owner from June 2022. But I want Coastal Cloud with Catalina Cove so it doesn't matter anyway, but I still have "you're not in the cool crowd" vibes

Day 1, about 10-20 minutes in. I am 3 miles from a service center. I am driving a 23 year old Explorer. It was towed on 6/9 (ironic) and I barely made it to my garage on 6/15. I just replaced the alternator.

I went mountain biking today, and it was the first time I was deep in the mountains since March. I suspect my torque converter has been failing for a while, but it struggled so badly today, that after getting home I decided I would never take it to the mountains again.

My current plan is to see where I am on the invitation list , only commute to work or within 10 miles of home, and then if it's going to be too long I'm going to buy a plane ticket to borrow a vehicle from my father, then drive it 600 miles, get my r2, then drive it back, and then fly back.

I'm also happy for others, but I am having frustration at my own situation.

Day 3 reservation and a current R1S lease holder. No invitation yet. However I found out that the only way out of my lease is to pay it off completely so I am in no rush..They tell me everyone should know their order window by the end of June.

Day 1 minute 13 no Rivian no email to order. I’m SORT of ok with it as I’d like to see some more detailed reviews and testing from the usual suspects before actually ordering. There are still a few things to be ironed out.

I feel your pain but we should find out where we stand in line within the next 5 days.

Not like I'm going anywhere else (every time I think of test driving anything else, I get depressed) but a guesstimate is better than nothing.

Dave & I are the same! 🤣 "First minute" reservation, four year R1T owner and also an R1S in the stable, 2.5 hours equidistance between the two closest service centers. No invite, but also continuously waffling on willingness to give up my OG LE.
