Great first post. I am a Dec 2018 res holder. Adventure res since day one. Have never been contacted about anything. It is simply crazy time when it comes to how Rivian does business with its earliest supporters.
The 'lottery' that we are now calling the Rivian process appears to be utter, random nonsense. So many of the bottled responses the early res holders have been fed for the past 2 years are rubbish.
Configuration - even LE versus Adventure is no longer a valid reason for a delay. Adventures are...
I was there April 5th and it was similarly packed. I had my First Mile drive in NJ a couple of weeks ago and they come from Brooklyn. Incredibly inefficient.
1259 days and as I'm holding for Adventure AND OC interior I figure I will eventually be the all time record holder from reservation to delivery....(Max pack says hold my beer!)
I ordered Dec 4 2018 - the number in the link I think was around 3200. Anyway, at the time I believe I thought the LE units were going to be ONLY green so I reserved an Adventure and basically forgot about it for a couple of years - I would imagine there are very few non LE ahead of me....yet...
12/4/18 reservation - north Jersey. I didn't reserve an LE at the time and honestly don't recall why. In the back of mind I believe I thought the LE was in only the green color, rather than as a limited option. I would imagine I am one of the first non LE reservations - certainly in the area...
To what end? You think they'll lower it again? They won't. Rather than a Tesla move whereby they would pick a date..."price will increase on all orders placed after X"...Rivian has factored in the loss of pissed off early res holders here. They are saying we can afford to lose a percentage of...
I think the odds have shortnened on R1S production (or even both it and the R1T) being completely stopped a la Bollinger.
Rivian could go full Amazon for a couple of years.
My "window" for my (12-4-18 res) R1T Adventure is July-September. That's not happening. I know it's not. They shut down production last month for "improvements" And are only hoping to get to 200 a week at some point this year. 6 months ago I figured they'd struggle to get all LE units out in...
I would be happier with individualized communication with build dates and actual production schedule instead of vague windows and lame excuses for missing every date and production target so far. I'm old enough to remember every Tesla problem since placing an order for my first X in Jan 2014 and...
Adventure R1T, Large Pack, Glacier White, OC in NJ - ordered Dec 4, 2018. Pretty annoyed by the window of July - Sept '22 TBH. Not that surprised by overall timeline but that people who ordered same spec but over 2 and a half years later are receiving the same window. No one without a non-LE...
