Oh wow - are those LEs or adventures? Mind posting a screenshot?

24 are in there now, mostly white and forest green. It seems the Limestone, Blue and El Cap go the quickest especially if they have ocean coast. There are three launch editions in there two FG and on CY.

I had originally picked Forest Green but changed to Limestone with a FE interior. I'd probably take a FG/FE on 20"/21" tires if I had shop access.

I have FG/FE on my R1T love it, people ask me about it regularly.

I just ordered a R1S Launch Edition, El Cap, BM, 22's with compact spare on 4/19/23 from the R1 shop. My Launch Edition Vin is around 1000. The 22's were included in the base price. Are there any issues with getting an early edition? The Vin shows that it was built in 2022.

Early VIN means you are more likely to get 12V power outlets and wood trim on the back of the seats.

Sure you got the 22's?

2022 build has the following likely benefits (not guaranteed, but almost certain on a 1XXX VIN):

• 12V in frunk (mentioned above by @sub)
• Wood trim on front seatbacks (mentioned above by @sub)
• Meridian Elevation Sound System

2023 build has the following likely benefits:

• Slightly higher resale / trade-in value down the road (1 model year newer)
• Likely some improvements in assembly (we've seen 8XXX VINs reported recently)

If the truck you got meets your specs, I wouldn't really sweat the 2022/2023 that hard unless you think you're going to trade out of it in the next few years (newer model year will have less and less impact the longer you keep it). If you had an Adventure reservation to begin with, the LE tire/wheel savings ($1,800) will probably offset most of the value difference between 2022/2023 (if you're in that camp, there's no guarantee you'll snag a new Shop LE that matches your config).

While I'm sure there have been numerous production improvements / fixes in the ~7,000 trucks produced since then, as long as you do a solid delivery inspection & live close to a service center, Rivian should take care of any issues that may arise. I would personally ask your guide if they can dig a little bit into why a 1XXX VIN is just now hitting the shop though just to make sure there weren't major issues they had to fix.

You also mentioned 22s but the picture you posted has 20" ATs (low gloss) on it. Make sure you got the tires you wanted.

My bad. I wrote down the wrong number. Yep, the tires on the truck are the 20's. I did order the 22's but I can always order an extra set of 22's from the shop. I will take it on a few adventure trips and see how I like it. My guide,who I have never talked to, is out of town. I will try and find out why this LE is showing up now.

I picked one from the shop about a month ago that has a VIN in the 1500s. Guide wasn't very helpful in determining why it was still available. Said that it could be for a number of reasons, but that all cars are new and backed by warranty - pretty vague response.

Curious to see if you get any more specifics.

One more pro for the early VINs: a 12V under the center console

Early VIN is no indicator of quality of the build. I have a 17xx build (delivered Mar. 2022) and my build is better than some of the new R1S's pictured in other threads......sad...but I think it may actually be worse now......

My wifes R1S is Nov/Dec. delivery, so we shall see.....
