This all feeds into my theory that there’s some problem with R1S production that is causing a delay in production. Maybe they were fixing whatever the issue is for your specific vehicle.
When was the last new R1S guide outreach anyone has gotten? R1S threads are awfully quiet since the delivery...
I think they are saying:
Launch Editions get delivered before adventure package. If you have an adventure package, a LE order with a later preorder date then yours will be delivered before your adventure (and may already have a VIN), because launch editions are made first.
This is what we all...
I do. I have kids under 10 and want to be able to drive the whole family, including my parents, around town and on short excursions (less than 2 hours). It'll be great for those purposes.
I'll respond one last time on this, as we're probably just going to be talking past each other at this point. But I'll address your request for evidence/proof of an R1S delay with my own: what would be sufficient proof for you to believe there is (or was) an issue? Would anything short of a...
This is an incredibly weak argument. Anyone expecting a car in the next 6 months got delayed. Literally everyone who has posted has said this! If you had a 2022 window and no VIN, you were told you’re waiting until 2023. There are no exceptions I’m aware of.
So based on this - again, you...
The “delay low price orders” strategy only works if they get us to cancel. Profitability doesn’t matter much to the market or Rivian now. It’s all about scaling and production ramp; everyone expects Rivian to lose lots of money each quarter.
So from a markets standpoint it’s better to deliver...
Every single undelivered/no VIN R1S who had a 2022 delivery date now has at 2023 date. All of them -not a single person has a new delivery window in 2022. That's my evidence. All the unfulfilled Oct-Dec orders are now 2023 orders.
So yeah, it's clear there's some change in the delivery plan...
I am not gonna sit here and claim any official Rivian dates are reliable, but OC has already been delivered in R1Ts and revised R1S OC dates are in the first half of 2023. Saying it won’t be delivered at all until 2024 triggers quite a lot of skepticism.
They gave cs the day off because they knew this was gonna be bad. Don’t know why Tony lied about FE R1S going into production during his AMA last week. What a clown show.
I would be livid about this. They should let you get on the phone, choose a config, and get in line where you would have been if you had this configuration on 10/15. You shouldn't be penalized and made to go back in line for a choice they made without warning.
I have a follow up - does anyone still have a 2022 delivery date? I haven't seen any new 2022 dates yet and I'm wondering if they're pausing R1S production.
