R1S updated estimated delivery window email (received June 11)

[Techtennisone]

Roll call of R1S LE reservation holders who have not heard anything yet?

I am a Nov. 2020 reservation holder but do have an LE (Original window was July - Sept). I assumed I‘d be at the end of LE deliveries (minus our friends in Canada) but surprised I have not received an update yet. Anyone else with an LE reservation waiting? When did you order?

I’m a Sept 2020 LE reservation (launch green + Forest Edge interior) that has (or had) a July-Sept window and haven’t received an update yet. Hoping that means my window is not changing.

Based on limited info it seems like any R1S pre-orders with Ocean Coast did NOT receive the email.

Did any 2022 R1S with Ocean Coast get a delivery window email?

I got the 1st email, but no updated delivery email. Jan 21 pre-order date, original/current delivery Oct - Dec 22. Adventure, BM, RC, 20" AT.

Ocean Coast remains a myth...

Counterpoint: the R1S is a more unique offering given current and soon to be released EVs, whereas the R1T already has direct competitors, making the R1S a more valuable model.

If they stick with only a truck they'll run out of customers pretty quickly. They need an SUV, and then either a compact SUV or a sedan. That's what sells.

Agreed. Also, have to imagine if R1S pre-orders are trending up, the strategy should (should) be to attack that niche. Not to mention F150L now delivering means they can track R1T deposit releases

Damn I finally went ahead and changed my build from white/explorer/OC ---> white/adventurer/forest so hopefully that moves things forward a bit.

Same boat here. No updated window provided. Worried that we are the "special" ones that move from 2022 to 2023

Nice configuration

I received it followed by a October - December delivery. The previous was April, then May - June. We had previously been notified that the purchase process was starting. Feb 2, 2019 R1S LE, Canyon Red pre-order.
Starting to feel like they don't want to deliver R1S orders at the old price.

Apparently building technologically advanced EVs as a new company is not as simple as they planned

September 2020 R1S LE preorder, launch green, forest edge, 20" AT tires, originally July-Sept delivery window...no email with a new window. I am not optimistic...

Any strategy regarding the underbody shield and how it effects delivery? I don’t really need it but will order it if it moves me up…

Counterpoint: the R1S is a more unique offering given current and soon to be released EVs, whereas the R1T already has direct competitors, making the R1S a more valuable model. There are plenty of threads talking about how few 7 seat EVs are even on the horizon, and of those very few if any fit as neatly in the hipster/upper middle class family niche (which is a very big niche). Plus all the people that would prefer an SUV for an adventure vehicle given a better wheelbase and the ability to sleep in the back in a pinch.

I know the R1T got all the press but the R1S has more mainstream appeal, especially as big SUVs have been trending up lately.

If they stick with only a truck they'll run out of customers pretty quickly. They need an SUV, and then either a compact SUV or a sedan. That's what sells.

Totally agree with this assessment. If Toyota were to announce an EV 4Runner, I would drop Rivian like a hot potato. There just isn’t anything competing with the R1S. Maybe they are trying to squeeze the juice out of the R1T before that well runs dry… I saw a truck with several F150 Lightnings on it this morning when coming back from the gym. Ford is going to dominate that space s00n…

It should not make a difference. There have been reports of orders both with and without it being assigned early delivery windows.
