Over on s00n.rivianstories.com, someone just got a 2024 model year R1S VIN ending with RN0304XX. Looks like I was lucky enough to get one of the last of the 2023 models. ? VIN trivia: You will never find any of the letters I, O, or Q in a VIN (as per US law). N was 2022 model year. P was...

Tesla commissioned a special wrap for Cybertruck prototypes to make them look (vaguely) like F150s. How should Rivian disguise R2 prototypes? Link in case you missed the F150 wrap

8 steps opened today for PN0293XX. Not a Shop purchase ... this was a "build to order." They were still stamping the VINs as 2023 model year when this was built.

Today I lost access to the R1 Shop. It's been fun. My wait for Godot may soon be over.

I see that the Gear Shop description now lists the wheel material as STEEL. Previously, the material was listed as ALUMINUM (chuckle).

Will RIvian sell me a compact spare before I take delivery of my R1S? My original configuration included a factory-installed compact spare. Then Rivian took that away. Then Rivian reintroduced factory-installed spares, but only with 20" wheels as part of the all-terrain upgrade. Still, I'd like...

Yes, SOL is how I would describe it. I suggest contacting your state senator and/or representative and share your thoughts. NOTE: People who qualify as "low income" can -- and should -- continue to submit applications until the end of the cycle. As I understand the rules, IL EPA will process...

Says your French's Mustard yellow S? Thanks for catching my oops. Yeah, I was on my first cup of coffee when I wrote that, still dreaming of a Red Canyon S. Oskee Wow-Wow!

LAUNCH GREEN FRIDAY DEALS! I'm seeing some of the rarer R1S configurations in my R1 Shop this morning. The last Canyon [edit: Compass] Yellow config has the "full Ocean Coast" interior (aka: vinyl dash or vegan leather accents) ... both the paint color and the interior trim accents are rumored...

Sometimes I think that Rivian just enjoys taunting me with near misses in my R1 Shop. There are 269 R1S's in my shop this morning, including the almost-but-not-quite configurations shown below. * Right motors, right paint, right wheels, wrong interior trim. * Right motors, right paint, right...

Rivian Stories posted a link to the newsletter yesterday (before Rivian made it password protected), and I took a look. The newsletter was obviously not finished and ready for publishing, but what I saw said that the R1S compact spare "is now available" in the Gear Shop. If you have a knack to...

There are 248 R1S's in my R1 Shop right now, and 14 of those have the compact spare. All 14 have the all-terrain upgrade package. 8 are quad-motor; 6 are dual-motor. 3 are Max Packs.

As expected, the $12M allocated for this year's Illinois EV rebate program didn't last long. Applications had to be postmarked no earlier than 11/1/23. And on 11/13/23 the number of applications surpassed the available funds. People who qualify as "low income" can (and should) still submit...

My reservation was made in early 2019, not 2020. So nevermind ... wrong thread.

In my shop this morning, I see a pair of Launch Green R1S's (both with free wheel upgrades).

There is circumstantial evidence that not everyone (nationwide) with R1 Shop access for R1S's can see the inventory in Normal. To wit, 3 of the 10 Launch Editions in my shop have free wheel upgrades (which, if you've just tuned in, is a Launch Edition perk for certain wheels). In recent...

I'm in central Illinois and see 195 R1S's in the R1 Shop this evening. 19 dual-motor max packs. 7 performance dual-motor max packs. 1 dual-motor large battery. 12 performance dual-motor large battery. 146 Adventure Pkg quads. 10 Launch Edition quads. Based on forum comments in the past, I...

202 R1S's in my central Illinois shop this morning. That's up from between 70 and 80 yesterday morning. 7 out of 202 are Launch Editions. 20 out of 202 have my preferred interior -- Black Mountain with vegan leather accents.

OP asked about R1S. There are 3 CY R1S's in my central Illinois shop this morning. They weren't in my shop 24 hours ago.

That quote succinctly describes my RIvian experience to date. I got a similar email. My account has said "Processing estimate" since August. 4 years and 8 months after reserving, I'm still waiting for my R1S quad-motor. Guide says she's "actively" trying to match me to a VIN so I can take...
