7/8 steps complete, my guide basically avoids me and doesn't communicate but also is very fast in getting me what I want (8-step) no frills. I dig it.

Heard back from my Guide but unfortunately received no further information regarding delivery timing or whether configurations affect delivery timing. I am still confirmed for Oct-Dec. 2022 and that is all the information I have at the moment. I am stoked for everyone getting their R1S's and those with imminent deliveries. Just hope the next wave of R1S deliveries include other pre-orders, like me, with super early dates. Hanging in there . . .

I'm August/September delivery and still haven't heard from guide so likely pushed out I'm thinking.

Hi all, I've been ravenous for info on anything related to the R1S. Today that day became a reality. Got an email asking me to confirm my build. I did that in a nanosecond. Curious I signed on to my account and lo and behold, I got a guide (it was a choice I never had until today) So I called. Super nice guide, Erik, he spent a great deal of time answering all of my questions. So I wanted to share what I learned.

1. When they asked me to confirm my vehicle. Erik told me, that the actual vehicle has already been assembled.
2. In the next few days to week. I will find out my VIN.
3. The vehicle will be loaded on to a train for shipping to Venice CA service center. I am fairly close to Venice here in Malibu.
4. Transporting to Venice service center can take 1-3 weeks.
5. Once it arrives at the service center, they will "prep' the vehicle. This process can take up to 3 weeks.
6. During this period of time, I need to complete all of my paperwork.
7. I will be able to choose if I want the vehicle to be delivered to me or go to pick it up at the service center. (I'm inclined to have home delivery)
8. My lucky number, I take delivery of my R1S.


One ask, I have a 2019 Tesla M3Performance. I'm going to get rid of it. Does anyone know how Rivian prices their trade ins? Are they fair? Are they below market? Is Carvana or Carmax a better option.? No chance I"m going to private sell. No time.

thank you for your feedback,

tom

Being in OC and a 2018 preorder I cannot imagine you will not have the R1S in the next 2 months.

Sure hope you are right. I could add the underbody shield, but will hold off and just wait.

Update. Just completed my 8 stage document. This went down super fast. Confirmed build this morning. Completed paperwork this afternoon. 'Got my VIN, looks like I"m number 665. At least its not 666, that would be a bedeviled R1S.
