Welcome! Rivian over-delivered on 3/7, but spare yourself the heartache of expecting Rivian to beat their target dates. I undoubtedly sound like Debbie Downer, buy I waited 57 months from reservation to delivery of my R1S. And I live just an hour's drive from the factory. Rivian missed every...

"Rivian will offer you priority access to configure a Rivian R2 vehicle and to delivery appointments for your R2 purchase or lease. The timing of such priority access will be determined by Rivian at its sole discretion once R2 vehicles are generally made available to the public for purchase in...

I was among the first 6000 to reserve an R1. For years, I believed that I had a good place in line. But I missed the 4-day window to configure a Launch Edition R1 (which Rivian said included "Priority Delivery"). Eventually, my non-priority delivery happened 1756 days after I reserved...

This will have a HUGE impact on our ability to take road trips in IL, IN, and WI. I love it!

Will the 2 year wait be followed by another lottery? With R2 reservations opening in just a few days, now's a great time to look back at how reservation date correlated to delivery date for the R1S. To amuse myself after waiting only 51 months, I created this scatter plot last May from data...

Details of the Governor Pritzker's proposed FY2025 budget are here. Maybe I missed it, but I don't see any (proposed) funding to continue the Illinois EV rebate program. Is it dead less than 2 years after it started?

I love my R1S, and I'm anxious to learn about the R2. I might someday buy an R2 from available inventory. But ... the 57-month wait for my R1S cured me from ever again reserving a Rivian product.

Your new profile picture is a ... polished aluminum dumpster???

Whoa! $3950 for A-T Upgrade on a LE preorder (and obviously pre March '22 price increases). Why would anyone with a LE preorder check that box when the same combination separately was $0 for 20" A-T wheels, $2000 for underbody shield, and $450 for compact spare? What am I missing? Today, the...

Shake. My. Head. ... when I compare your experience to mine. Four years after I reserved, I simply asked for access to the R1 Shop ... and was told no, you don't qualify. It's all behind me now. I'm moving on. Delivery happened 4 years, 9 months, and 20ish days after I reserved. And...

I'll echo Midnight's comments. We've seen this before. If inventory suddenly dropped, you likely temporarily lost access to inventory at the factory. Except during end-of-quarter pushes, your R1 Shop inventory will include inventory at your nearest SC (or SCs?) PLUS inventory at the factory...

The OP's video is consistent with what I saw on 12/6/23 when I took delivery of my R1S. That day, the factory was building white "Delivery 500" vans which the tour guide said were destined to be Rivian mobile service vans. Tour guide said that he, personally, was very optimistic about...

In Samuel Beckett's play, Waiting for Godot, the Godot character never shows up. For the past two years, Godot seemed an appropriate name for my mythical Rivian. Now that my R1S has finally materialized, another name is required. NORM. Norm is my new norm. But Norm is certainly not an...

I'll share my recent experience. Keep in mind that I took delivery at the factory. TLDR: when you suddenly lose access to the R1 Shop, you've probably been "matched" to a specific VIN that has entered production (or is about to). Start watching for an email from Rivian titled "It's time to...

Definitely one of the very last 2023 models before Rivian changed the VIN stamps to RN around the end of November. I try to follow the online Rivian forums, and I've seen no evidence that anything changed with the start of 2024 models (except the 10th character of the VINs).

Here's the 12/15/22 mass email that said we were grandfathered into whatever prices were shown in our account configuration prior to Rivian removing the Adventure Gear.

I can help. Alas, your guide is misinformed. On October 6, Rivian sent a letter to NHTSA with details for decoding 2024 model year Rivian vehicles. See link and screenshots below. (And at the very end of this post is a link to the complete 77-page NHTSA document for VIN rules and...

My understanding is that the 4 months starts after you (are invited to) configure.
