Right, the wood looks bleached to me, and seats a light grey. The A pillars and roof liner are the only things that make me consider, maybe FE...

It's definitely Forest Edge. The light reflecting directly off the seats results in the photo being over exposed and the colors appearing much lighter than they would in real life.

He said "besides the two we have produced last year we have yet to start production" I read that to mean they have yet to start production of the R1S version. He said they are working to establish actual delivery estimates and will update order holders soon. I take everything with a pinch of salt been here before with ALL my other EV's communication is always slim pickings on a new car rollout...

I got confirmation from my guild that production has already started on the R1S's. So I guess he just miss spoke on the original call. Once I get my delivery date I'll update the posts

So...I finally had a conversation w/ my Guide this week....'Ruby'....and she was awesome. I was her first R1S intro...so they are slowly (as she said) starting to come off of the assembly line. I'm not going to hold my breath but she told me 4-6 weeks for delivery. Starting to get real!

I talked to my guide on Tuesday on my R1S order and locked in my configuration. She said I'm "currently" slated for delivery end of May. I asked if any R1S's (Besides RJs) have been delivered and she stated there had not been, but there were a bunch beginning to build up coming off the line. It's my understanding that I'll be a part of the first batch to be delivered.

She sent me a link for the Rivian wall charger installation and I have started the process of getting it installed in my garage. The process for getting a quote took about 10 mins through the service they partnered with and was pretty easy. They'll be mailing the charger out in advance of the vehicle getting here and I'm trying to get everything moving on that item. My quote was for $1199 USD, which didn't include the charger or the permitting. The installer I got in contact with as a result says they can go ahead and knock out the permitting in advance of the charger being mailed so that once it gets here they can immediately schedule installation (Though inspector availability can always affect that planning. It has to be inspected day of installation.) We dealt with the same challenges when we put in our Tesla wall charger.

Lastly, I was sent all the Rivian Insurance linked/information in order to begin comparing rates with my existing insurance provider. I have not contacted them yet.

It's exciting to be starting the process, though it's still at least a month away.

Congrats, you're making progress! Yesterday, at the two week mark from first Guide contact, I circled back to check in to see if there was any update on my timeline other than March/April.

I had specifically asked, if the R1S is being built and/or delivered to customers yet?

The response I got was, their teams are working on finalizing the production plan for R1S orders and when they're done, they will be able to provide more updates about my specific order.

I suppose all we can do is wait it out until we hear of something concrete. Good luck!

This pretty much matches the information I was told on Tuesday. I'm however Apr/May and knew there were a few May/Apr in front of me.

So ... they didn't answer your question and you got (what's becoming typical) double-talk.

Dude, I switch to R1S to R1T so many times I don’t even remember anymore Lol. That’s what I’m going to talk about with the guide also, I’m trading in my minivan, and I have two small children so I want to make sure I get a vehicle that would be a good fit because I don’t have another three row. But I think the R1T could also work because it has so much cargo room, space, and it’s flexible.

Let’s just say I’m very conflicted
