R1S LA Silver new delivery estimates

[Bradyb23]

Does anyone have any experience with the delivery estimate impact of choosing the 20" All Terrain wheels versus the 20" All Terrain Dark wheels? I like them both, and would probably choose based on the estimated delivery date impact. I chatted with Rivian just now and they said they had no visibility into delivery date impact so I should just choose the ones I like best, but I thought I'd check here first, just in case anyone had any experience they could share. I can make any changes until 11:59 pm 1/15/23 and still get my updated date the end of this month. After that, my estimated delivery won't be updated until April. Thanks!

I am tempted to pick one of the cheaper colors to "buy" an earlier window, which I think it's the game Rivian trying to play.

Originally there were at least a couple of no-extra-cost colors, but now it apparently it's only the LA Silver. And there appears to be a bottleneck with the LA Silver. I just got access to the Rivian Shop (R1T) - no LA Silver there. You may be right about the "game."

I’ve been tracking the auction sites (Cars & Bids, eBay) and car resale sites (Auto Trader, Cars.com, CarGurus.com) and even though you can find dozens of R1Ss, I’ve yet to find an LA Silver one. According to Rivian Stories Tracker, about 7.5% of their sample (about 1000 preorders for R1S) are configured with LA Silver. Therefore I would’ve expected to see at least a handful of LAS R1Ss for resale, so the fact that I haven’t would tend to confirm the suspicion that this particular color has low priority…

Our First Drive yesterday was an LA Silver R1S and saw 2 more at the SC. So they’re out there. Out of the 10+ R1S at the SC majority were LG, 1 Limestone, couple MB, couple white, 1 FG, 1 CY, 2 LAS, 1 ECG. No RC or RB but there were a ton of RB R1T.

01/20 res for R1S LA Silver, Adventure, 20 inch, OC with a delivery window of 2024. Just got a guide and the intro call so will see if that moves me up? Thx, JB

How did you get a guide if your delivery is a year plus away?

How did you get a guide if your delivery is a year plus away?

Many of us did in the latest communications, but anecdotal data seems to indicate that it was sent to pre-order holders in 2020 and earlier only...

Example: Both @KingTodd and I have locked our configurations and been assigned guides and still both have "2024" delivery dates communicated. Hoping for good news at the end of the month in the planned comms refresh.

WE were surprised to get a call for a guide as our account showed 2024 for potential delivery. My take and it is only my opinion is that Rivian has been pelted with complaints for non information and huge delays and that is warranted and this year they are trying to improve that. They SHOULD do that and maybe giving a guide even when the delivery date is way out there will give a warm and fuzzy (it did with us as we git a demo ride) and help their poor reputation in that arena. They did offer us the R1S shop to get a vehicle that would happen to be there. We declined as we want what we want and after waiting so long (01/20 res) we are not going to settle for something we don’t really want. The vehicle is just too expensive to settle in our opinion. Hope that helps. JB

Awesome....at least they are moving on the LE's...I guess they can't move onto ADV until they do those, and just maybe there will be a few extra LAS LE's that will show up on the R1S shop that I currently don't have access too so it doesn't make a difference
Post some pics when you get it!

And what is your interior color and wheel choice?
