Rivian seems to like Tuesdays

Many parallels with Apple.

It's entirely possible, but their website, and customer support reply states otherwise.

What are the terms and conditions for R2 priority delivery?
Rivian R2 Priority Delivery Offer Terms and Conditions:

The R2 Priority Delivery Offer (the “Offer”) is made by Rivian, LLC and provides for priority delivery timing of Rivian R2 vehicles to qualifying purchasers. The terms “you”, “your” and “purchaser” refer to the purchaser of Rivian R1 and R2 vehicles. The terms “Rivian”, “us”, “we” and “our” refer to Rivian, LLC.

Eligibility: To qualify for this Offer you must (1) place a reservation for and ultimately purchase or lease from Rivian an R2 vehicle when made available to you by Rivian and (2) own/lease or have owned/leased a Rivian R1 vehicle in advance of your purchase or lease of such R2 vehicle. When placing your R2 reservation, you must use the same email as the Rivian Account tied to your R1 vehicle. This Offer is available only to those who have reached the age of majority in their place of residence and who physically reside in the United States or Canada.

It was a joke. They don't care between previous and current.

I think there is a reason for it as I send out newsletters for a non-profit. Openings and engagement rates are high on Tuesdays for our newsletters. My guess is fri-sun people check mail less due to the weekend and activities, Monday, people catch up on mail from the weekend. Wed-Thurs, the slump from work hits.

Reserved April 10, 2026. Launch Package, Esker Silver (subject to change to Forest Green or Glacier White, lots of time to decide)!

Got a 4-8 week email. I have a dying vehicle so this is appreciated, but still wish it was sooner. Have a family member who put a res in 10 minutes before I did, but he got an August-Sept. I'm marginally closer to the service center [3 miles]. My conformation email was around 1130AM 3/7/24.

Very pleased with my 12/26 to 2/27 estimated window. Probably good alignment with RAP1/LIDAR which I was waiting on in any case. Reservation made 9/25, not an R1 owner.

 

[rbdavis808]

I'm actually wickedly curious to know what is the latest estimated order invitation date. (Haven't yet noticed any date later than early '27, although I can't keep up with this flood.)

With a reservation list of well over 200,000 IIRC, and production of only 20,000 this year, seems like they are thinking the order rate is maybe no more 15 to 20%-ish? (Not saying this is bad in regard to other vehicles, and certainly not in Cybertruck territory.)

This is the shortest timeframe we've seen posted yet. I'll take it!

A Rivian representative confirmed the same timeline for us. I was on the phone with one today about a trade-in offer that was expiring, and he told me I should receive my invitation in about two weeks, followed by another two weeks for delivery.

My email confirmation said that when I order in November to December, the Launch Package will still be available. Just like I thought it would.

Reserved Feb 27, 2026 and got the email for Nov/Dec

You’ll be invited to order in November–December 2026​

In a culture (especially tech) moving quickly to a 4 day week, core hours and flex time, Tues becomes a common day to do things. Gives you time (Tues & Wed) so that your 3 day weekend is not impacted. Hopefully.

Monday is still of course, "catch up from last week".

Apple actually prefers Tuesdays to give member of the press a day to travel that doesn't cut into their weekends. Their PR people think of everything, except of course transparency.

Fortunately, the entire world is not Apple centric.

No duh.

Ditto here, same time period for ordering and expected delivery 4-8 weeks.
also launch package will still be available (will order that).
I don’t expect LIDAR will be available …. do not care about self driving.
still debating between 20” and 21” wheels, leaning towards 20”.
