Guide call & PBA signed for R1S... mid-may delivery

[Jagger027]

Had a wonderful call with my guide, config locked and PBA signed within an hour. Mid-May delivery. Waiting for VIN assignment and requested for factory tour & pickup which is being done every month end itseems. Guide is from Normal and can see the manufacturing area.

Config: R1S Limestone, OC, 21' wheels, field kit, All weather floor mats, compact spare tire

Everyone's big question "Ocean Coast" interior: "No delays otherwise I won't be talking to you now" was my guides answer so....

Camp Kitchen: working on a shuttle system for kitchen on the rear of the SUV. Will be added to Gear Shop s00n ?

Spare wheel: "compact spare tire" can be added but the wheel well does allow a normal wheel to be stored. Asked my guide to check if I can actually get a regular wheel instead of compact tire.

R1S or R1T test drive: asked if I could get a test drive of R1S or a limestone R1T, told him I am close to normal(2hr. Drive) so don't mind driving there, he said will check and get back ?

Interior pics: will be sending some, so patiently waiting

2nd row: seats will be sliding for 3rd row access, will not fold completely for 3rd row access.

User guide: under Legal review. Apparently they cannot deliver any R1S until legal approves the user guide.

Membership: membership will include "No cost" charging at Rivian adventure network or waypoints and discounted costs/fees at others like evgo, chargepoint etc..,

Additional things in future: 2nd & 3rd row screens, camp kitchen, parking assist etc...

Gold. Solid gold. Thanks for sharing!

Love the plans for a second row screen - I assume tablet/screen hookup on the back of the headrest (or something more elegantly designed).
Also, does anyone know if we will be able to add a nav integrated HUD option?

Wish I had gotten that level if detail from my guide when I locked my PBA. I still don't know what "soft locked" actually means. Lol.

 

[ARMadventures]

Signed my PBA today as well for an R1S.
Show me the 8-steps!! ?

Sanity check: the 2nd row of seats does fold fully flat (say for storage/sleeping) right?

The Ocean Coast saga is wild, every other guide flip flops based on the reports here.

Y'all need to start asking your guides why every other guide has a different answer.

Then we can get a bunch of conflicting reports on that too.

They were saying 3% and not completely flat.

As far as OC, it's clear they've been told NOT to use the word delay but it's not being made yet. As my guide put it "OC isn't delayed but I've seen mostly BM, a few FE recently, and no OC have come off the line".

Ie.. it's delayed.

Congrats to everyone who is sighing their PBA. If any east coasters get something in the next few weeks you will definitely have to let us know.

Congrats! Same color combo as us! I can't wait to see pictures.

Congrats on the R1S PBA. I'm anxious to start seeing them out in the wild. My window is June/July so it's starting to feel real now.

Might be, didn't really get into any details. Forgot asking about HUD, will follow-up during my next call.

Also felt like they were collecting as much feedback as they can on cosmetic upgrades

Will share as soon as I have them...

This is great info, thank you for sharing. I'm curious about two things that I heard differently from my guide.

1. Are you certain they said a full sized spare could fit in the wheel well? The tires on these things are enormous and I remember seeing very little space in that area for even the compact spare when poking around on the demo model at the bay area event in 2019. This would be fantastic news if so. I was envisioning a hitch mounted solution but the tires are also super heavy, so pulling it off of hitch mount would not be simple.

2. That is a relief that the seats slide. I am hoping my guide had different/old info when she mentioned they do not slide.

Please keep us posted! I'm a 11/27/18 pre-order holder in the bay area but now PBA yet.
