Anyone else using a plugin to monitor the website? I downloaded an extension for Chrome that refreshes automatically and then makes a sound of there's a change since last refresh.

What extension/plugin is that?

Confirmed an R1T out of the shop on 8/24. (ECG/FE/B22s) VIN 10,1XX. 8 steps opened within seconds. 8 steps completed in 48 hours except final down payment. Vehicle is in Normal, which is my nearest service center 187 miles away. I've had one conversation with my guide in which I said I was open to pick up at service center vs. home delivery if it bumped up the delivery date. She was not able to give me one nugget of information on PDI timing, service center pick up, or any other variations. One week has passed since then with.....crickets. Anyone else with experience in securing a vehicle from the shop, and the PDI to delivery notification time frame. when cross country/ rail transport isn't going to be a part of the process?

Shop access for a 12/21 reservation has to be some kind of record. Any chance you could lend me some numbers for the next lottery?

I thought the same for a minute, but then I heard of at least one 2022 reservation already delivered.....

There was a NW drop at 925- ECG/FE with Dark 20ATs and spare.
It was gone in about 10 seconds.
totally unr

You can google it for chrome. I did it yesterday and worked perfectly.

In PNW, there was ECG dropped at 925 with 20' dark ATs and a spare. It disappeared rapidly.
On a totally unrelated note, lost my shop access.
Happy hunting to everyone!

Auto Refresh Plus. Pretty slick.

There is a ECG with Dark 20's that I've seen around town here a bunch and I gotta say, it is SHARP! Not really a combo I would have thought of personally but it looks awesome! Congrats!

and here it is!!! Every bit as amazing as I had hoped for. noticed a couple of minor cosmetic issues (alignment of charging port door) but nothing major. The delivery guide said that I can log that request via my app and I was happy with just that (didn’t want to wait another few days). Will upload better pics tomorrow but here are some.

Congrats! The 20” bright wheels look awesome.

 

[dleepnw]

it was super tempting to jump on one of those trucks that was in the Shop today but alas waited too long and they were gone.

they absolutely do. I am so glad that i did not compromise by picking whatever was available in the shop. Nothing against people's preferences on what they like, but for me, i wouldn't want to compromise on the config that I want at this point in life.

<<Opinion_Alert>> Also, if anyone had doubts about how limestone looks in person, it is probably the best color i have seen on a vehicle ever. Again, just my opinion but it is absolutely a looker. FWIW, i love El Cap as well, just was scared to pull the trigger and change my config to limestone when i had a chance. I thought about it for a while.

I love limestone in person but ordered a white one because I'm concerned that it will be a passing fad color, like moonstone for Toyota or the rash of "nardo gray" that every single manufacturer has right now. At some point I would eventually regret getting a fad color. YMMV

I love that you called out Audi's Nardo Grey. It was my all-time favorite color on a car until...Rivian's Limestone. I'm more concerned about how it'll fade over time than the fad dying off. 5+ years later, it's still a highly desired color for Audi (up there with Porsche's Chalk Gray). I initially loved LG, but that color already feels dull to me.
