Am I getting close to delivery?

[Zeusy Zeus]

So I just received this email from Rivian…

Does this mean I’m getting close or just some generic email?

You will be asked to confirm your configuration when you get close to delivery. Then when its in transit you will start the 8 step process.

Ok Roger thanks. I’ve been waiting almost 2 years and there’s still no delivery estimate.

Two questions... what's your config and what is your location?

Rivian is not filling orders in some locations because they are too far from the SC. There have been various report here of this. I have seen some who were even told by Rivian that they were too far.

I don't agree with them doing this. Tell the customer how far they are, tell them what it would cost to get it transported, and let the customer decide of they want to wait or take delivery early.

I got the email back in august and I'm taking delivery tomorrow. Was "processing estimate" until last week when I went to "ready for purchase" and it escalated quickly. I had emailed my guide and they said there was a VIN entering production that matched my spec and It'd happen in 8-12 weeks.

Check with your guide.

Well I can understand where they are coming from, their vehicles are having issues and they don’t want customers to be SOL.

Hey thanks for that info. Yeah I’ve spoken with my guide and she says there’s no update. ??‍ Oh well I’ll just follow the email for now and continue waiting patiently.

Wow yeah Miami shouldn't be an issue. There is a SC there. Does it show a delivery estimate? Maybe ask your guide for "shop access". Check the shop daily and you may be able to get your exact config early.

Also certain addons have been known to delay orders such as the paint protection film.

What interior did you choose?

Well I just logged on to see if it said anything and I found this… so I guess I need to finish purchase. No one said anything to me…

Glad you got your opportunity, even if it was un-announced. You should feel lucky to be where you are. I've been logging in daily for some time now, looking for updates on my July '21 R1S pre-order.

Adventure, Canyon Red, 20" AT, with OC interior (from the beginning).
Original estimate: 1H2023
Updated estimates: June-July 2023, then July-August, August-Sept, all with no config changes other than (re)adding crossbars in May and the obligatory Ocean Coast interior change-up before that.
The quarterly emails I received on 1/31/2023, 4/28/2023, and 8/24/2023 all said my "delivery window estimate remains the same", "is on track to be delivered on time".
But when I logged in to Rivian.com after each of those emails, my delivery window estimate had actually changed each time.

No explanations nor acknowledgement of those delays since an Oct '22 email pushing from 1H2023 to June-July, which I appreciated and accepted without complaint.

Never offered R1 Shop access. I formally requested access 9/7 and again 9/10 over chat, acknowledged same-day but still not granted.

Not happy with the delays. Especially after seeing all these R1S pre-orders later than my own getting R1 Shop access, Contact, and Delivery these last few months. Even in my own state!

Since my 8/24 delivery window estimate got pushed yet again to Sept-Oct without acknowledgement nor explanation, I've started pestering Customer Service more.
They keep saying "you are on the right track", "keep an eye out for any emails coming your way very soon", etc..
But now I am starting to feel second- or third-class, like when I pick the wrong line at the airport or the grocery store.

Those next-gen 4Runners and GX's are looking a lot more attractive to me lately.

Sorry to hear that brother. So yesterday I also got an email for R1 shop access. Of course the link didn’t work and it was completely useless but still. Hang in there and keep checking you’ll get it eventually. I’ll try and respond back here if I get any updates.

Very cool congrats. I’ll be honest I was looking around yesterday shopping interest rates and at 7% average and what these vehicles cost I’m surprised they’re flying as easily as they are.

Check with credit unions. USSFCU is 5.74 for 84mo, 5.49 for 72, 4.99 for 60 etc. The lowest rates around right now AFAIK.

Folks who are putting a significant amount down or paying cash aren't affected as much by the higher rates... but it is true that the rates do hamper affordability. Average down payment on a new car last i checked was only 6k.

I guess folks have gotten used to $1,000+ a mo payments.
