Just got my confirmation email, and saw that I had a guide assigned as well!!

I haven't confirmed yet because I want to talk to my guide first to ask about delivery window. I am also having some last minute hesitation about my exterior color choice of Forest Green - wanted to see if changing to Red Canyon would significantly affect my window.

Called and emailed my guide but no response so far. This is going to be a loooong weekend ...
Woot!!

Please do, thanks!
Ok I can confirm there are three R1Ts in CR. One with black 20s which I think is an amazing combo on on the R1T

saw 5 R1Ss(could have been more) 2 ECG, 1 LG, 1 RB, 1 L

I just had a great conversation with my guide. So glad they are responsive, and gave me food for thought this weekend.

As expected, there is no real way of saying how my delivery window is going to be affected with a color change. My current build is not already in production either. They said I can't go wrong with either color, and there is no rush to decide, but to make sure I picked the option I really wanted.

I think I'm going to need to plan some recon trips to Bellevue Service Center this weekend. Saw a bunch of FGs there last time but no RC.

@mini2nut that's definitely a consideration. My main reservation with FG is that it tends to look more monotone than green in lower light conditions (as do most dark colors). And @AxelR that's what drew me to RC. No matter what the lighting condition, there's no doubt that it's a red/orange-ish vehicle.
Don't worry about the potential delay...get what you really want

I am happy to say I am part of this wave too. I finally got my email. Haven't done anything with it yet because I was taking my daughter to a party but I will be doing so shortly
Are you kidding me.....? If your daughter knew the emotional roller coaster you've been through....she'd delay attendance to the party.... ?

I just read this thread...saw that the OP was more than a year after me and same location...fired up my Rivian app to send an email to CS...and I have a guide! Damn...the number of times I've checked for a guide over the last year and there it is. No email yet though.

Thanks friend, I'm going back and forth so much right now in my mind - really just need to see RC in person at least once before making a call either way. Still exciting times!

@RDB my missus prefers FG as well, mainly because she perceives red as a little attention-grabbing. But I think all Rivians will do that regardless of color :D
So Rivian delivering on their delivery estimates....

And this is new - when I looked at my configuration in the app I was asked to "Review and Confirm" - which I did. Still no email.

Update: Got an email about an hour later with the subject "A Seamless Process to Purchase Your Rivian".

Congrats, you both! Keith, good to see you're a Red Canyon order too - based on @dleewla's sighting today I'm gonna definitely be stopping by the service center tomorrow for a peek. My current state of mind is "stay strong, stay the course, no more delays, FG".

We were considering red as well. After seeing it in person it was too orange for us.

Checked my email this evening and was surprised to see an email asking me to confirm the configuration.

Scheduled a call with my guide to just find out if the XPEL wrap is an option for me at the factory. If not, no worries will follow what @Tim@XPEL has suggested and get it done with a local installer after delivery.

My config: LE with LA Silver exterior, black mountain interior, Reinforced underbody Shield and 21" road wheels. Will talk to my guide and confirm the configuration on Monday.

Fair enough - I think the orange is what makes me like it more ?
