I'm sorry for the dumb question, but I'm new to the forum and don't know where is or how to get to this Rivian Shop to see what's available to purchase.
Some light would be very appreciated. Thank you.

Gaining access depends on quite a few factors, but some depends on when you placed your order and your location (proximity to SCs). It appears there is a possibility you are closer to be invited in once you’ve been invited to take a First Mile drive. Looking at who has gotten access, it appears most who have had access are those from preorders from around November 2021 and earlier; however, that doesn’t appear to be the only factor. I think the fact we have 2 R1s on order and that we are paying cash didn’t hurt either.

Anyone with shop access mind posting some pics of El cap and Forest Green colors. Going to see if there is any that I could talk my guide into swapping my current match due to low Vin worries.

If it makes you feel any better I got a low vin adventure trim r1t that was probably 2-3k behind vins being produced. It had - slightly off hood, wind noise issues, honestly no one noticed but me. SC gave us loaner for a week which was great to have a different color, interior and wheels to check out. All set for adventuring!

I’m just being unreasonable and whining. There is another thread about someone that just picked one up that had a lot of issues with similar low vin. Give me ten minutes and I’ll probably flip back over to being excited?. Just would have preferred not to wonder why the heck it’s been sitting around.

You can look at vins on Cars and Bids, 3500s 1/23 and 5500s 2/23 so it is probably a late January, early February build.

I picked mine up late January at the factory, it was an October build (1663), I think it is pretty normal to be a couple of months off the line.

I’m very happy with mine 7k miles in.

Does going with the OC interior somewhat guarantee you won’t end up with a low VIN? Also anyone in this thread that grabbed a vehicle from the shop not get a VIN assigned immediately? I picked out of the shop this Friday but I don’t see a VIN nor do I see the 8 step process opening up. All I see is this. I’m curious as I reached out to CS (guide off on weekends) and he said all vehicles offered in the shop should have VIN’s and be built already. I also got this email.

Helps?, but that was pretty normal protocol back then. Now it’s odd to have them sitting so long with tons more in the 9000 range being delivered. I’m going to try to talk my guide into continued shop access or a shop swap one more time then accept it and try to stop worrying.

It seems like rivian is currently going through a production run of forest edge interiors. The last 5-10 additions to the shop have all been cars of various exterior and wheel makeups but all with FE.

Don't think it matters on the demo drive. I got invited to a demo drive a few months ago. I still have no eta on my R1S reservation (11/22 reservation).

That said, already an R1T owner, so not sure if they makes any difference
