i ordered esker silver/coastal yesterday-also got the preproduction email today.Ordered Yesterday an hour after the email. Catalina and Coastal Cloud. The confirmation said 8-12 weeks, but I got another email this AM saying it's in pre-production... Hopefully it's sooner rather than later - I'm excited!

It took me 2 1/2 weeks to get my VIN, I got one of those each week I was waiting (now waiting on delivery date). So excited to get the Rivian email and so bummed when I realized it wasn't my VIN. Like a kid at Christmas sometimes you get socks before the present.Anyone recieved an email like this? Order done 08/11/26, just got email today.

I hope not but you're probably right. An agent told me today, or at least repeated the corporate line, that it will be 8-12 weeks vs. the "normal" 2-6 weeks.I am in the coastal cloud camp. My cynical prediction is that they took a limited number of us early adopters who had indicated CC as our interior choice and extended an opportunity to order before the end of the month. This way they have technically fulfilled their obligation. But…but the time period between ordering and delivery will much longer than what we have experienced. And that’s okay.
