If it isn't, it should be. Youtuber's should not get preferential treatment. So far they have not as more normal customers have received them which has actually allowed people with no established YouTube/Influencer history to make videos on the R2 and share their experience rather than the more established ones.
He posted an article about it a month ago where it was allowed for at least 1 person, but no real details on whether this is a regular process https://riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-appears-to-be-offering-r2-factory-pickup-at-normal-after-all/
Yeah I saw that article. There is someone else I saw in one of his threads on Twitter that is picking up their R2 at the factory on Saturday. So it seems to be allowed yet I wasn't offered it as a option when I went through the process so its a mystery as to how to request it.
When were you able to select Factory Pickup? Was it through the steps or did you need to communicate that to your guide?
I was doing pickup in Atlanta but my VIN was stuck in a railcar for 10 days due to rail delays. Guide offered releasing my VIN and letting me get a new VIN with pickup at factory. I do not believe they're offering factory tours currently though.
When did you make a reservation and what months are you supposed to get the invite to order?
What insurance company did you use?
