I agree. When I made my R1S preorder back in May 21 I think I read there were c35k pre orders at the time. They produced 25k vehicles in 2022 and have now added an extra shift etc so how are people waiting for vehicles that have preordered year ago? Or am I just a dumb Brit who doesn't get it?

I think the reason for some deliveries being bumped back is due to early reservation max pack hold outs, like myself, that have likely swapped to Large packs.
Unless you are like me and waiting for that mythical powered tonneau...

My guess is that it relates to certain parts not available enough, and efficiencies around batching similar configurations together.

Wow, that's a huge delay....which does not make a lot of sense, since they are supposedly ramping up 3rd shift and doubling production compared to 2022.
They haven't changed their guidance for 2023 yet as far as I'm aware, but their Q4 earnings release isn't until the end of next month.

I kinda gave up. I love the idea, and practicality of the powered version, but not confident in its long-term functionality

25k in 2022 includes EDVs and R1T/S. Looking at these estimates, I have really started to worry about their 2023 projection as an investor 🤔

Lots of puts and takes based on looking through today's posts.

Mine stayed the same but quite frankly it's almost Feb 1st and I don't have my 8steps. I've come to the reality that although they may not push my window out...I'm not getting this thing until April/May.

Estimates will go out today (happening now - last day of the month. The is per Rivian Customer Service as of 1 hour ago!
I checked my account and it changed from Processing estimate to May-June 2023 which is what the dev hack showed earlier today when i looked. Last update had me at April- June 2023.

Well now it is the only major deciding factor between getting the R1T vs the R1S + trailer... We would prefer to not deal with a trailer (for loads you would use a truck for) and have the truck capability with weather resistant storage most of the time.

My order date moved up from “2024” to Oct-Dec 2023 for a R1S order placed on 1/29/2022. Not bad. Would love to have one of the first 2024 MY builds.

I was relaying what I was told when talking to CS. I imagine some orders will move up and some will move out. Good luck!

It seems that perhaps a lot of Launch Edition delivery estimates stayed relatively the same or moved up. And for the most part, Adventure deliveries got pushed back.

If that happens and my July 2021 R1S is moved from 1h 2023, to 1h 2024, I'm flying to Normal tonight lol

I would think that this thread should be read again with a grain of salt (those who have bad news post more vs those with good news).

I would think that the shifts that happen would be bell curved shaped with most not changing, or changing slightly those that shifted out and in on the edges of the curve.
