Update on timing now in account

[Mygrain]

I perceive that Rivian has made progress since the ramp of R1T and R1S.

For my R1S, I got my first delivery estimate 3 years and 8 months after I paid my $1000 reservation. And that delivery estimate (April-June 2023) was, at best, 5 months too optimistic.

The R2 ramp will be better. It has to be.

And ironically if you buy a Tesla in SC you have to pick it up in NC. Rivian lawyers vs Tesla lawyers on interpreting state laws lol.

I went to do a second demo today, this time with a Catalina Cove on the 20-inch A/T tires. The sales rep (who has helped me each of the four times I've come into the showroom and knows me by name), said that within the next few weeks, you'll be able to take delivery at the Knightdale, NC service center. I don't know what they worked out with the NC legislature, but that will save me from having to drive to Richmond.

Well maybe it’s just Charlotte people then bc they definitely have to go to SC, the exact opposite of what Tesla does lol.

There’s also the fact that some estimates have EV sales as a percentage of all new auto sales in the US peaking in 2025, with hybrids the only growing segment in 2026 and beyond, replacing ICE.

The window for when you can expect your order invitation is August - September.
(I would expect by the end of September in that case.)
The 4-8 weeks is the expected delivbery time AFTER you place your order. From the update email:
"Once you place your order and receive confirmation, you can expect to take delivery within 4-8 weeks for most configurations."

There are two different messages out.
Some are saying between two months and some are saying between weeks to get an order invite. Once you ordered than it can take between 4 to 8 weeks for the delivery.

I suppose 4-8 weeks starting in July is by the beginning of Sept whereas August-Sept is possibly the end of Sept. so maybe they are not the same.

As mentioned above, I got 4-8 to order (and 4-8 weeks delivery)

It is not adding up:

Coworker reservation >> 3/15/2024 >> Oct - Nov 2026
My reservation >> 5/1/2025 >> Sep - Nov 2026
Friend's reservation >> 3/12/2026 >> Nov - Dec 2026

All 3 reservations above are separated by 1 year yet estimated invites are separated by 1 month

We all live in Northern VA and close to 2 service centers. We do not own Rivians. And I am the only person who did the demo drive.

So I guess when you placed your reservation does not matter. It was my understanding that I had 100k reservations in front of me? Even if I had only 50k reservation in front of me, the scenario above still would not make sense.

How is Rivian planning to deliver let’s say 50k R2s when supposedly they can only produce 20k R2s in 2026?

Something is fishy about the order invite estimates

Nothing fishy. Rivian has said from the off that there are multiple factors that go into the order date. One big factor you are not taking into account is that they want to sprinkle in new non-owners into the mix.

This is weird. Everyone is talking about getting emails about their delivery windows and talks about reserving the Launch Edition until the time you order. However, I never got the email. I see my timeline on the website and I even got a text from Rivian about the timeline, but no email

Was never in there either. None of my Rivian email goes to spam -- it all comes through to my inbox.

I think we are saying the same thing. Rivian is giving some folks a window in which to expect an order invite. Those are sometime in the future, like August-September for example. Others are getting an invite sooner, so they can expect it in the next few weeks - from now.
That’s my interpretation, anyway.
Expected delivery time AFTER ordering is 4-8 weeks.
