Hit the Rivian Lotto!

[Aubs]

I just received an email to confirm my configuration as my R1t is ready to be built as I ordered except I switched to the 21" road wheels, anyone know the ETA once you confirm config?

Mine was exactly 2 weeks from confirmation to delivery

Agreed. Don’t get me wrong the tax credits are great, but I don’t think we ordered a Rivian just for that. Genuinely excited about the car itself!

And u may be

Because of the switch to rail I’ve seen 4-8 week estimates on this forum. I don’t think any one who’s truck has shipped via rail has received it yet but maybe someone could chime in if they have.

While I understand why many here will be pissed off to hear this, I am happy that Rivian is being proactive on getting combinations out the door to people who have a configuration very similar to something that doesn't have a home (apparently).
Post some pics when you get it....you can rub it in the face of those say ing you are a troll

I think the biggest frustration I feel when hearing about this is that it's for folks who placed their orders/reservations after many on this forum who are given an opportunity to get a truck sooner. The truck doesn't quite match but "hey, make some changes and we can get you one."

If I was presented with an option to make some changes - or shop the R1 Shop - I too would be willing to make some changes to my config to get the truck. But I haven't been presented with that option. If Rivian had a history of my various configurations since I reserved my truck, they'd see "this guy will take anything!"

My guide originally said I would receive and invite to the R1T shop to pick out something close to my config which I never received so I was pleasantly surprised to get an email to confirm my config as ordered. Since I live a couple hours from the factory I don't think they will ship my R1T by rail, I'd be willing to pick it up if that would help speed up the process.

congrats! So you’re sayin there is a chance for me… ?

Honestly I think anyone with a FE interior selected that is not FG, LG, LS, or Cocaine white has a pretty good chance of getting an earlier spot in line. Compass yellow, red canyon, rivian blue especially.

Have to imagine that the color combination had something to do with it. I wouldn't choose it, but more power to you. I think someone at motortrend called it a spinach omelette but I like avocado omelette better .

Powdercoat the 21's and you'll be in the business.

Was thinking the same thing with the powder coat. I know it sounds weird, but I saw the same color combo at a first drive event and fell in love with it!

In all fairness, I have not yet seen it in person. Maybe I'd like it too!

The guide definitely said mine would be shipped by rail. No actual estimate until they reach out to her again with an ETA. She said if all goes smoothly, delivery should be around 3 weeks.

We all know Rivian estimates though, so I’m not putting too much merit on that.

Let me preface this by saying I do have a rare combination - compass yellow with FE.

I preordered in January 22 with the black 20in. Got a random call on Monday saying that I could take delivery in 4-5 weeks if I swapped to the 21s. I couldn’t refuse getting it sooner and I’m super excited to Rivian fam officially!

I think you'll like the 21s. They are a very nice ride and you can take the aero covers off and the wheels look nice. Plus, you can get some wraps from twraps and they will look slick. Congrats!!

Mine is coming via rail to the west coast. 8 steps for 20 days. No eta.

Oh man that’s a while. The guide said 3 weeks if everything goes smooth, but everybody is saying rail is taking a while.

I had a similar situation. I pre-ordered an El Cap Granite Adventure R1T with the max pack battery in Sep '21. In December of that year I got an estimate of 2nd half of '23. I did not want to wait that long, so I switched to the large pack. Fast forward to June, I got an updated estimate of Sep-Oct of '22. I was elated.

Three days after I received the new estimate, I got an email to lock in my configuration. I was a little confused by it. It took about 3 days to finally get a call with my guide. I found out that not only was it built (with my exact configuration), it was waiting to be shipped. A week later I took delivery (only 11 days after the "lock in" email).

Everything happened a little too fast and I wasn't prepared. But in the end, I love the vehicle! So, it definitely can happen.

Nice congrats man!! Can’t wait for mine. Guide is still saying in transit with no ETA yet. I’ve been seeing other vehicles being transported by rail that have been waiting 4-8 weeks… praying mine doesn’t take that long.
