My order was 1/21. Web site is showing Apr-Jun 23 delivery. Previously it was 1H23 and 4Q22. I would prefer sooner of course, but can live with it.....

Wow so they are prioritizing R1T over R1S. My R1S was ordered in October'21 and delivery estimate is in Q4'23.
Or maybe there are a lot more R1S orders than R1Ts. Lots of people seem in love with the idea of a 7 person SUV because they cart kids around all the time.

Tax break would be nice but to be honest I’d like to just get the R1S.

For those wanting a 2023 model year looks like they will get their wish… sometime might need to be careful what you wish for

Please tell us you didn't tell her your delivery window. And then record it when your truck arrives unannounced.

Because they are pushing back pre-price hike orders to later dates and delivering post-price hike vehicles before them. They are hoping pre-price hike people cancel; basically Rivians way of trying to get around honoring pre-price hike orders.
Old price people have the option of converting to large pack and getting the vehicle fairly soon. Rivian is pushing max pack back because they have to implement dual motor by the second half of next year. The majority of new price orders almost certainly are dual motor.

They didn't raise the price of max pack in March, so it's unlikely those vehicles are less profitable. The $10K is at least double the cell cost to Rivian.

If only I was that bright. I’m a big fan of just pulling the Band-Aid off so she knows and is needless to say less than pleased.

When RJ meets with his board of directors, I imagine that directors are asking: "RJ, what are your strategies for subtly, passively encouraging pre-price hike order holders to cancel? "
HaHa, Joke is on you then Board of Directors! Order date 2/21 for R1T/CY/OC dark ash/21" standard tires/Max (waiting) with Camp Kitchen (redesign) Gear tunnel shuttle (redesign) 3 person tent (waiting brake lights) power tonneau cover(???). Decided to just wait. That's right, have the early pricing, company has taken most of my add-ons away but I AM WAITING. Original delivery date July-Sept 2022, then Q1 2023, now SOMETIME in 2024 Jan-Dec. By the time they get it together on the Max battery, preferred because I drive across country frequently, there is the "possibility" the Camp kitchen, Gear tunnel shuttle, tent and tonneau cover redesigns (?) will all be done. AND there will be the advantage of more EV charging stations across the country. WIN for me. So there Board of Directors!

Under a year, not bad. Remember some have been waiting almost 4 years since laying down the deposit. All about perspective.
My window is not under a year, more like almost 2 years. You speak of perspective people with a 4 year wait... how long of that time was Rivian actually producing trucks? My perspective has been based on seeing many posts on the forums and Reddit with people averaging about 1 year from preorder for non Max Pack orders. Considering ramping of production I would not expect everyone to have to wait 3 - 4 years. Rivian can't get profitable making less than 20k consumer vehicles a year.

I'm still not getting out of line. Now that I know I'm strongly considering other alternatives while I wait. On the plus side more of the bugs will be worked out by the time I get my R1T. I'm still a fan just a little disappointed.

Read between the lines... so far the furthest projection we have for peoples orders are Dec 2024. For those of us that live outside of whatever "close" is to a service center and are still "processing new estimate for Jan 2023".. means 2025+
I’m going to read between the lines a little differently. I am hoping that “Processing estimate“ for a 2021 R1T order means “we are trying to get you a truck soon, but the nearest service center is backlogged something crazy. If we can get it under control, or roll out some decent mobile service in your area, you are next on our list.” Perhaps those of us in the INW (like @Hayden123982, @silkyjohnson and @Miker2k) are not in perpetual limbo.
