Current theory is most of these are on the "factory floor" which is why they show up for R1 Store users across the country, and the only way higher demand configurations (E.G. LE, 20 ATs, etc.) are if they are rejected by someone at delivery - in which case it shows only for users for their respective service center.
Interesting that we have essentially the same configuration, but you got the window before mine even though your reservation is approximately 3 weeks after mine. That's a pretty solid indication of how location impacts delivery timing.
Man, if this is true that’s really disappointing for people who have guides but no truck and further supports the theory that Rivian is straight up ignoring those people. I would love to hear what Rivians thought process is on how long a truck sits in the shop before they’re willing to assign it to someone with a guide. I’d also love to know how many hold outs there are with R1 Shop access are waiting for their “perfect“ build. Numbers we’ll never see of course, but I’m curious nonetheless.
People have posted on this forum that guides and CS have completely removed it. I have no direct confirmation, just going off that, so could be wrong ?.
This! Exactly. You're a few months ahead of me and I share the frustration as someone who has observed the same thing. Obviously there are a lot of factors at play that I don't have any insight into, but as we've pointed out so many times, without better guidance from Rivian, this leaves us to speculate which isn't great.
Would you also ask about the underbody shield? Lots of questions as to whether or not that is delaying delivery.I just got contacted from a Rivian Guide this morning (Yippie). The only bad thing is she was asking if I wanted to lock my configuration on the Max Pack battery which I changed to the Large Pack in my configuration back in March (due to Max Pack delay). So, is the configuration system not updating correctly or was the Rivian guide working off of printed/old information vs the current configuration that should be in the system. I checked my account configuration and it is correct, but this still makes me worry. I'll let you know what I find out.
Good point. Will do.
Good luck GlenWo! Think I may too be stuck in Max Pack purgatory. Switched to large same night RJ announced Max delay....should have waited for a call to change I guess.I just got contacted from a Rivian Guide this morning (Yippie).

I also got a call from a Guide yesterday, wanting to check on my configuration. The stated reason was to be able to update delivery windows. I confirmed my want / need for the max pack. The guide had access to my configuration and we confirmed a couple things. I'm committed to waiting for the max pack based on towing needs and frequent travel to northern Wisconsin (where they haven't really heard of fast charging stations, lol). And I'm genuinely enjoying my I-Pace until the R1T is available.I just got contacted from a Rivian Guide this morning (Yippie).
