I wonder if some of these steps open sooner or later depending on your trade in status and options you selected when ordering? I'm pretty sure all my steps were open immediately.

Vehicle manufacturing is typically not linear. In order to maximize throughput, optimally align with parts vendors, and minimize factory downtime, builds/vins are batched into same config with same color groups.
I think you are overthinking this, once you get used to how the vehicle drives, which does not take very long, OPD becomes completely intuitive and parking in a garage, even one that is cozy, becomes no more difficult than parking any other vehicle.
I have parked my R1S in my garage every day I...
I spent 30 years in the heart of Alaska, so I have certainly seen my fair share of the northern lights, and can say that purple is one of the rarest colors for the aurora, but it does happen on occasion. The much more common green aurora's occur when solar particles collide with oxygen. Purple...
The 2026 Quad-Motor R1T/R1S Launch Editions are the only vehicles Rivian has sold that came with both lifetime Rivian Autonomy Platform+ and Connect+ access. No other vehicles, not even the original Gen1 Launch Editions had Connect+ access for free for life.
If Rivian follows what they did the first time around with the launch of the R1T and R1S then everyone who hasn't been invited to order yet will get a general timeframe for when Rivian estimates that those reservations will be invited to order (ex: specific month or month range). And for those...
I was told by Rivian that there was an issue with getting the metal flake to appear correctly, but it's also likely that up-charged paints are higher priority too.
Yep, just got the same email. I ordered Esker Silver which I know is a bit delayed so I am guessing this is just Rivian acknowledging the order to renew my faith and that my vehicle will be ready S=0==0=N...
If Rivian says something like 'by end of June' I would just get in the habit of expecting it on the last day of June, or whatever month or season they mention. If it comes out sooner, well then bonus.
Feels to me that Rivian build quality is hit or miss, much like many manufacturers. For my experience owning my Gen1 R1S this last 3 years the vehicle has only been in for service twice that wasn't related to regular/planned maintenance, both times it was to replace the 12v battery at Rivian's...
Filled out the submission form. Got my invite to order on June 17th, took R2 for a demo drive on the 19th, and placed my order on June 21st. Ordered Esker Silver so I don't expect to see a VIN or delivery ETA for a couple months.
This is the exact configuration on my order.
Have the R1S in El Cap and decided against going with Half-Moon for that reason, that plus the fact I have only washed the R1S twice in three years, so having a shade that looks clean even when dirty is a nice bonus. I also like the way the silver...
They told me the same thing when I asked about getting a non-standard plate, that I would have to wait till the standard plates arrive then order what I wanted as they do not process non-standard plate requests.
It's an EA app problem. As soon as the user selects the Rivian vehicle as a filter in the app, the CCS filter option gets greyed out and the user is forced to only filter on Level 2 chargers, despite the fact that Rivian is a CCS vehicle currently.
Contact EA and report the issue, or just...
