Delay in delivery

[UNC6517]

Hi all. Just wanted to know the experience with delivery. I have reserved an R1S in January 2021. I was finally able to confirm and lock my order in September 2023. Since then, three delivery windows have come and gone with no sign of delivery anytime soon. The guide says they have no insight into when a VIN will be assigned, which seems to be ridiculous. Anyone have a similar experience?

North Carolina still prohibits direct sales of vehicles to consumers, right? And forbids service centers for Rivian because they don't have dealerships?

I believe Charlotte is more than 200 miles away from the nearest service center, which means you're in one of the dead zones where Rivian isn't currently delivering. You can always change your address to someplace where they are delivering, and likely you'll be able to get your vehicle immediately. But don't do that unless you're willing to drive >400 miles round trip each time you need service.

Without a VIN you will never get a delivery date. They need that to do registration, insurance etc etc

I got a VIN assigned while living in Charlotte after 4 years of waiting. However, they were on me immediately to cancel delivery. Said it was accident and I had three different people try to talk me out of it and scare me. Then follow ups via email and text. They even stated that no mobile service would be available in Charlotte, even though I knew already of people who had mobile service done.
All this did made me more determined.
I had to drive to ATL for pickup though as this was the only option.
So far few problems. But still had to drive one time to ATL for fixes.
