The new parameter in my color selection is now the tax credit. I changed away from blue to save $1000 and keep MSRP (vehicle+destination) below $80k.Was at the service center yesterday and took a pic of one of the two R1S' I saw inside, looked very nice. I have a S on order and still have no idea what exterior color to go with...interior will for sure be the "new" Ocean Coast with the dark wood - that is awesome.
The good news is that I was on the fence anyway over 4 different colors.
Thanks for the photo. It's great seeing the R1S in Denver.

Damn, that blue is good looking! I'm still in favor of LG.
Btw...I assume you're taking delivery of your vehicle in 2023, which is when that under 80K requirement comes into play.

Sadly, you will probably get your vehicle prior to getting a first mile drive in an R1S. If you want a good feel for Rivian, I would recommend signing up for an R1T first drive. I did, and it was well worth it!

BTW...how does one "sign-up for an R1T first drive". I've been calling/chatting with customer service once a week for months asking for a first drive. If you have a way to break the code, I'm all ears...

I have no idea how they are choosing people to invite, but I am a Dec 21 reservation and was invited for a drive last month. I didn’t really ask them about it after my initial inquiry about a drive back in December, but I doubt that had anything to do with whether I got an invite or not.
Incidentally, while on the drive, our guide was saying they were very available for drives now and could sometimes do drop in drives and/ or people can set them up by calling the main customer care number. She even said they could accommodate people who don’t have reservations soon. This topic came up because my friend I brought with me is interested in an R1S in the future and asked about another drive with his wife.
I have no idea if she was accurate about any of that, but I also don’t know why she would make that up.

I'm pretty sure I had booked it through my Guide. I will ask her how one goes about that scheduling one. Very surprised that CS can't be more helpful w/ that.

Thanks for the info, guys...much appreciated! I will reconnect with CS and inquire again...it continues to amaze me just how much of a "crap-shoot" this whole process is. If I didn't like the product so much (and have the locked in pricing), I'd be tempted to walk. Of course, then I take a deep breath, get over myself and focus on some other "real" problem. ?
If these issues are the worst things that happen to me I guess I'm doing okay!
Thanks again and standing by...

I'm a December 2021 reservation date and got my First Mile Test drive invitation in late May - we took the test drive in early June.

I just got home from the Overland Expo in Loveland. There are a few Rivians over there (besides mine). The Dometic Booth had a Launch Green R1S.

So....while I broke away from 'work' for a few minutes to grab lunch, I nearly chocked when I got the below email. Needless to say, I cancelled my next meeting and couldn't click the 'Let's Go' button fast enough.
More than 3.5 years of waiting, it's finally happening! I'm still kinda in shock really.
Now I get to focus on the 8 step purchase process. So far so good.
For those really early pre-orders - just gotta keep the faith.
