Hey, so, I'm back. First, thanks to the admins for locking this thread, where I originally was posting about what I thought was a bug having access to a non-existent R1S shop. Turns out I was right, there is no R1S shop and it was a bug. Confirmed with my guide and it no longer comes up on my...
FWIW being somewhat of a BEV veteran now anything over 200-220 is more than you need provided you have decent charging speeds and a reliable infrastructure. Truth of the matter is 200-220 miles represents a bit over 3 hours of driving at those speeds and even if you didn't need to stop in that...
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. The 4-Runner is one of the best off-roading SUVs you can buy. Toyota makes your SUV, it's called a RAV4, something the R1S really has nothing in common with.
I'm currently confirmed to a custom configuration. The shop was empty.
If I surreptitiously or erroneously got in early, posting on a Rivian forum would be the only way to jeopardize gaming the system that has already been gamed. This could be the dumbest thing anyone has ever said.

The craziest part about this thread is we don't even know that I'm getting an R1S. For all we know the processing estimate is going to flip to 2024. I didn't ask to jump the line, they didn't tell me I was jumping the line. We're inferring a ton here and I'm also the only one with all the...
I'm going to go off on a rant here, I was just driving home in my Bolt and I was thinking the hell I went through with the recall, took over a year for them to swap the car out. It was bureaucratic hell.
Isn't this the car company we want? The one who can one-off make things happen based on...
You don't even know what happened. Maybe if you did you'd be happy to know you're buying into a company that will take care of you. This isn't random, wanton distribution we had early on. What if they do surf these forums and all this thread has done is make it so your future customer service is...
Honestly man, whatever. I cannot overstate I never intended to cut a line. I'm not going to get my emotions all tied in a knot over something I'm not entitled to to begin with. I never intended to come on here and brag about anything.
Literally this whole thread when I started it I thought it...
It's entirely plausible based on my conversation this dude, he went ahead and did something nice for me. I'll text on Monday and get more info. Perhaps they're making exceptions for us people getting 1 of each? Discretion of the guides? Who knows.
Like I said, it's not going to be everyone who...
Sure I'll do exactly what I did before which was nothing special beyond anything anyone else would do here potentially in the normal course of ordering an R1.
I really think I just got lucky with a Rivian mistake. Super stoked though and nervous that they'll catch me somehow hah.
That would be silly of people seeing as I've specifically stated it's nothing I did personally. They'd have to figure out exactly what I did and replicate that with an employee at Rivian. Even then now that I think about it, the person likely made a mistake.
To be honest only a handful of...
I tell ya what I'll say exactly what I did when I either end up with an R1S or a "wait till 2024, bitch" end.
Edit: NM people are kind of nutty on this issue. Mum is the word on how it happened, not gonna be the center of any drama (at least not beyond this thread)
Forgive the double post, but to be honest I'm not even sure what really happened. For all I know if someone replicated exactly what I did it wouldn't work and the person who did the thing at Rivian made a really awesome error in my favor.
No, I'm saying it was done for me.
Not gonna lie, I kind of wish I didn't start this thread, already got PMs.
I was way to fast on the draw with the R1S store not even thinking I could have been up for real hah.
To be fair I originally thought I stumbled upon a bug and was trying to figure out what was going on and thought it would have been good for a laugh. I had no idea I was actually getting in here.
Frankly I still don't understand the R1S store and how I'm the only person to have access to it...
If I say how I did it I think it's easily replicated which would mean it would be ruined pretty quickly and also probably ruin it for myself. Then there's also the fact that we'd be jumping the line, not even sure I feel great about that even if it wasn't intentional.
Really not sure what to do...
