Has anyone else heard that the wristbands are only for launch edition vehicles?

It seems a lot of the orders have the 21'' wheels as well.

Oh another thing my guide mentioned that is interesting. He said that Rivian is about to ship a lot of trucks in May/June.

Edit: Spelling

They are probably prepping for end of quarter deliveries earlier this time. Probably start the big push at the end of May instead of the last 2 weeks of June like they did last quarter. This also lines up with them getting more flexible configs from people at the end of May.

Yea. I have 21’s. I was told I have a vehicle with my name on it today.

Can you define "a lot?" Where does it fall on the spectrum of large quantities? Is that somewhere between a "shit-ton" and a "fuck-ton," or is on more on the order of magnitude of a "butt-load?"

perhaps he means a literal lot. We had pictures of the lot full of trucks (that were taken down). Perhaps it is that lot!

Hmm. I would not expect your delivery window to be so late with that configuration and order date.

I did get underbody protection but FWIW my guide did confirm that living in proximity to multiple service centers means there are more trucks getting delivered to a specific area which is likely why a lot of us got bumped up.

Well that's disappointing for me because there are no service centers in my state (although there have been a few deliveries here).

My delivery is scheduled for Saturday!!
What an absolute crazy whirlwind of a day, starting with getting customer service to kind of force my substitute guide to call me, confirming this is real, realizing I HAVE A VIN, and absolutely cranking through all 8 steps all day.

First and foremost, if you get contacted by a guide and sign a PBA DON'T BELIEVE THEM that you are waiting till October! THat means you are assigned a truck! Make your preparations needed to go through trade and finances in a week!

I was screwed here, because I wanted to pay off my Tesla loan, and sell my Tesla stock, all at least a month before Rivian delivery to pay for it (bye bye, Elon). In order to make Saturday delivery, I had to transfer funds TODAY. Clearly I could not make the moves I planned in time.

Second, when you get the 8 steps email, the truck has now passed Pre-Delivery prep and inspection, and you have a VIN! Look in your rivian account under your truck (which I totally missed because I was only looking at my 8 steps which don't mention the VIN).

Once I got my guide sub on the phone this morning to confirm the config was what I ordered and not some substitute, and it truly is ready to delivery, I moved as fast as possible with every step. Vin needed for Geico. Initiated wire transfer because their bank system doesn't support login to DCU's new horrible web site. They do not offer a way to just enter an ACH.

Well I did start the trade process yesterday, including the needed photo of the Tesla's screen (not the car at all!), and it was approved and quoted in 24 hours, and I nearly lost it at the quote. Higher than what I've seen at KBB for private sale. Basically, owning my Model 3 for 4 years only cost me 7 grand. Wow.

Also...UNFREEZE YOUR CREDIT...I realized this just before I went into the loan section and thankfully it worked, and I was approved in a minute. Reasonable rates.

I had to do a live notary session by the end of the day, AFTER I was done with the 8 steps, which I think was to fill out the Mass specific paperwork.

The guide scheduled my delivery for next wednesday. Then moved it to friday. Then to Saturday. All within about two hours. I am still betting it will NOT happen that quickly. Who likes to gamble?

So after a disappointing day with my guide yesterday, he absoluetly rocked today. He was figting a cold. I really wish we were assigned a 2-3 guide team instead of a single point of failure.
ANd huge props to the Rivian system. We really accomplished a lot and it ingested a ton of info and paperwork, very smoothly. So much better than the old Tesla process when my delivery varied by weeks!

I did try to ask for an explanation to how I am skipping the line, the guide didn't see anything specific about friends and family though he hears they move very quickly, but he thinks it is just very lucky extra production of my exact config. He also said he has 3 other Oct-Dec deliveries he is working on and that they intentionally under promised on times. So have some hope!
