Then if you want my 2 cents I think you should wait for that color. Your additional wait (if any) will likely be measured in months not years, whereas your ownership of the vehicle will undoubtedly be measured in years. Get what you feel good about sticking with.
I think it's awesome that the momentum is building on the deliveries. Clearly the early pre-order holders are going to get theirs soon, and no doubt there will be some luck/config etc. involved but that's normal. My personal opinion is to celebrate every delivery (regardless of order date) and...
I can't imagine how tired these poor customer support reps get of being on the receiving end of customer frustration. They are not empowered to solve any of the real problems so I hope everyone is being very kind when interacting with them in chat.
I'm Aug/Sep delivery. Started 8 step process last week. Spoke with guide and it looks like they are roughly a month behind on scheduled delivery at this point but that varies by location etc. Sounds like they have a ton of R1S at the factory awaiting shipment however so production is...
As another early reservation holder (not quite as early as you) who is also patiently waiting I'd say the following. 1) Your notion that the delay is linked to the underbody protection is pure speculation based on a tiny number of data points. I've seen people listing this as a 'fact' in a...
I believe that might be @PappaBolt ride. I saw it at the service center earlier today. Its possible the folks at rivian are taking it for a final spin before delivery tomorrow but if it's being delivered now then that's the first one I've seen on any forum.
I personally haven't seen any verified non-employee deliveries yet. I have seen some scheduled for Friday but nothing actually 'in the books'. That doesn't mean they haven't happened, just that I haven't seen them. In terms of 'is it a big deal' I'd say hell ya it is. Imagine if you took the...
Make sure you get lots of pictures! From what I'm seeing you could be in the running for worlds first R1S customer delivery! (Only about 10 months after Jeff Bezos of course) ;) Let's go Seattle service center!
It definitely seemed like threading through a loophole to get a test drive in Seattle, but hey dleewla at least you have a guide! I'd take that any day of the week. :)
That might be yours Papa! I know that the first one that was delivered was to an employee (it was launch green) so if this is yours you'd be the first customer (non employee) that I'm aware of.
I'm an early R1S reservation holder (though not day 1) with an August/September delivery date. Like many in this forum I've been patiently waiting through the many unpredictable delays that are associated with a new car company bringing a disruptive product to market.
A few days ago I was...
Ya I was told this after the update but I wouldn't put a ton of stock into it to be honest. It's not unusual to get conflicting information from different people or different departments. I happen to like the new oc a bit better than the bm so considered changing my configuration but don't...
