Had call with Rivian Guide, delay on Ocean Coast interior

[AdamsFan1983]

Also, why would white interior cost more? We all realize that an apple is not an orange, and they sell for different prices, right?

The most obvious answer is that since fewer (presumably) people have those configurations the vendor (hyandai transys) doesn't give them as good of a volume discount on either the OC or FE seating components.

Didn't Henry Ford say, "You can have any color you like, as long as it's Black (Mountain)"???

For real. Said the 12/3/18 preorder holder in Kennesaw who has yet to get that invite.

I would recommend reaching out. I am in Denver and wasn't having any luck with getting a test drive either. After a couple weeks of silence, I reached out to customer service and asked what the process was for getting one. They told me it is by zip code, and my zip code was on the list, but still had a bit before they got to it. Since my delivery window is March/April (not holding my breath, but fingers crossed nonetheless), they said they could make an exception and get me a test drive sooner since I likely will receive the truck before they got to my zip code, and they wanted me to have the opportunity to drive one first.

So reach out if you haven't. It's worth a shot!

flaming people for asking a question—even those who missed a detail—is lame. have a nice day.

As more and more people join the forum, more people are just reading the post title and replying to a 10 page post off of statements only in the title.

Asking the same thing that has been answered many times in this post gets very annoying. And when people don't reply to correct "fake news" things spiral out of hand as you see in the 2 posts before yours.

I miss the days when members cared enough about rivian to read through the posts. Starting to get as bad as facebook and twitter.

Thanks for the message. Why is OC delayed so much?

Because RJ spilled coffee on all the white dashboards and they couldn't get the stains out.

That explains why it costs more. Cleaning fees. Typical Rivian.

And to anticipate your next question, FE is delayed because Chicago bought all the green dye to dye the river green for St. Patrick's Day

Also waiting in Atl... (April 2019, LE order) I reached out a few weeks back and got the standard "we don't see it/control it" answer. Very interesting that your rep actually had some insight and has inspired me to ask again.

Thanks - I did back when it was first announced. I was told they'd see what they could do. Crickets since.

I care deeply about the success of Rivian (I'm a reservation-holder and stock-owner). I also read stuff quickly (sometimes too fast obvs) to try and get the gist in a timely manner. we're all in this together... forging new paths. I can understand your frustration just ease off the snap-judgment—that's all I'm saying. have a good one.

As someone that ordered Ocean Coast, this is disappointing.

Why would it take up to a year to get? Who is making the material?

And how do they have your vehicle with black interior available right now?
