I got pushed to Feb->March 2023 in the config tool… it’ll probably be a year late from their initial delivery window at this point.I am a November 2018 reservation holder and recently totaled my Model X, so I am without a car (first time since the Army many moons ago).
I am curious who else is a 2018 R1S reservation holder that has not yet taken delivery?
I spent many years in production and logistics and their batching process confuses me (much later reservations getting delivery with the same configuation in the same area, while old timers patiently wait).
So, who else is a 2018 R1S old timer patiently waiting? Below are some of the names and details I have come across in the forum.

I have just received the "We are not going to make the R1S in your configuration" email. The only interior choice now for my R1S is Black Mountain. My pre-order was for Canyon Red/ Forest edge on 2/3/19. I have seen these Canyon Red / Black Mountain going to orders as late as 11/19. I'm pretty mad about this. I have now seemingly been pushed back to Jan-March. These guy just keep making stupid decisions!I am a November 2018 reservation holder and recently totaled my Model X, so I am without a car (first time since the Army many moons ago).

I think ~ 4 years is the going rate for R1S deliveries. Looking across different threads it is pretty consistent (w/o data crunching)Well, looks like I'll be joining you all in the 4 year club. Feb 2019 LE R1S, kicked to Feb-Mar 2023 just now.
Same hereWell, looks like I'll be joining you all in the 4 year club. Feb 2019 LE R1S, kicked to Feb-Mar 2023 just now.
And you’re confident with that timeframe? I’m beginning to think we may need to start a 5 year club topic next year.Well, I'm in the 4.5 year club as I'm a Nov. 30, 2018 preorder with a fulfillment 'estimate' of Q2 2023.
How did your delivery go?My delivery appointment is set for Monday at 9:00 - the excitement will continue to build all weekend. The long wait is near over!
I haven't changed my config in 2 years with similar specs/order date as you and I'm in the same delivery window. I haven't seen anyone with an Ocean Coast interior get a delivery window before the April-June window. I think its just the interior batching which is dictating the delivery windows at this point, but only they (Rivian) knows...or maybe they don't even know.I heard from my Guide that every time you change your configuration, you fall farther back in line. I did change colors, and I added the off-road underbody, so I did change my configuration twice.
So, it's possible that being in the 4.5 year club makes sense. If I slip into a 5 year club, all bets are off the table as to whether I'm still in the game.
