Hey Perk. Richland here. Your December 2018 R1T preorder is definitely an early, if not earliest, Eastern WA preorder I have seen. I am a June 2019 R1S preorder with a May/June delivery (hopefully). Please keep us posted on your progress. I am curious how Eastern WA deliveries will be handled.
Reading local news this morning and this nugget jumped out:
" King Beverage has also placed new fleet orders with electric vehicle companies Rivian and Tesla Inc., Rusnak said. "

In Richland and feeling that we are getting no love in Eastern WA! My reservation date is July 2019 for a R1S. I understand why Rivian may wait to do first drives until they have R1S's available to drive. You are my guinea pig to test if the the Cascade curtain is in effect. Hope you hear...
I'm certainly not an expert on this but I am actually pretty heavily invested in magnesium related stocks so I watch this industry. Part of being educated is reading beyond the headline. I'm not sure you read the information in the links you sent? At this point, there isn't a magnesium...
As a June 2019 R1S LE pre-order holder, in my estimation, the biggest problem with all of this is that we are getting information from SEC filings and not via an email from Rivian. They had time to make sure I received multiple emails about how to access the IPO but they didn't have time to...
You couldn't be more right. I have been critical of Rivian, mostly concerning the horrible communication with pre-order holders, which is STILL an issue. However, when Rivian does something right that should be acknowledged as well. This location and this event is an example of moving in the...
You have this odd perception that any time anyone voices concern about any aspect of this process we are all on they are "whining." It is especially bad when you don't even have your facts straight. There ARE R1S preorder holders who ARE getting invited to test drives, blowing up the central...
Some of the responses to criticism about communication are even stranger!
No one is advocating a list of what is not included with the vehicle. What I think almost everyone is advocating in a list of what is included. A list or photographs of what is included in the vehicle allows one to...
The "corporate culture" of Rivian concerning communications has been to release as little information as possible to the detriment of both Rivian and Rivian customers. This has been specifically acknowledged by RJ. Rivian is a great startup. Even great startups make mistakes. Some on these...
Perhaps you haven't been watching the evolution (or lack thereof) of Rivian communications as closely as I have. It is undisputed that just because "customer service" confirms or denies something doesn't make it so. "Customer Service" has been repeatedly wrong. What a first class comms...
June 2019 preorder holder for R1S. I am a Rivian fan but also not Don Quixote. Would I prefer to have Sirius/XM built into the vehicle? Yes. However, it is not a deal breaker. That is not the biggest issue. The bigger issue is the lack of communication about if Sirius/XM is or isn't in the...
Although very frustrated with the delays and lack of communication, I also accept that I am buying a first run vehicle. Along with the allure of being one of the first there is the reality of delays. Decided that my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 200+k miles isn't all in on another ski season...
Hello from Richland. R1S reserved in May of 2019. Just a FYI, there is already a PNW thread: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/pnw-roll-call.1037/
