July 2024 is what I've seen consistently since last summer. Some have reported Michelin reps have responded that the size is not on the radar.
Zero chance they wait for Q4 to start selling these. The Shop is almost out of R1S and the R1T stock is dwindling with all the promotions.
Zero chance, it's zero chance. The online inventory is a snap shot of completed shop work orders (built) or a nearly completed.
I suspect many will just buy a 20" rim vice paying $400/tire for IMHO a poor value when compared to 20" options from other brands.
The rumored defender is around $400 per. Pirelli 21" will cost around $2500 for a set installed with insurances at Discount tires. I'm glad I did the switch
I'm seeing the 20" Defenders for about $300 installed at CostCo so I figure when (if) released the 21" shouldn't be that much more. I think that $400 figure floating around is a high estimate. I guess we'll see.
I understand reading is hard. That's not at all what I said, I said ...The inventory on Rivian turns multiple times per day.. they list what they have in going thru the factory. This will not change.
Won’t they just call the refreshed R1s MY2025 and start selling them in June? How much inventory can they be sitting on? It would seem like a capital killer if they don’t deliver any R1s made from May through September until October 1st. Or is that the normal speed of the pipeline? (I honestly don’t know.)I understand reading is hard.

I'm suggesting that the changes, AS STATED ON THE COVER OF THE EPA FILING, are for 2025 model year, My guess is that you won't see these changes implemented until vehicles that will be delivered in or after September depending on existing inventory and build up of new components inventory.
Time will tell, they have an investor call at the end of June. That will likely give a better timeline. Things like the battery pack and other parts that come from all over the world but mostly Asia, those things are usually in transit for up to 3 months. So regardless of what they physically have in the factory there may be additional stuff in the pipeline they need to burn through.
Rivian is only producing refreshed R1S in the factory now. The refresh will be announced in June and start selling gradually from the Shop soon after.
