How's the Bellevue SC Throughput?

[EVentually]

Just trying to gauge where they are with respect to deliveries and throughput. It used to be a powerhouse for Rivian deliveries, but it's been pretty quiet for a while. Last I saw, early to mid 2021 deliveries were consistently getting their trucks (with 1-2 SUVs) this month. If you live in the Seattle area, it's likely you'll now see at least 1-2 Rivians/day (Fun fact, my record is 10 in a 3 day span!). Wondering if that led to some kind of de-prioritization (total speculation). I know it's somewhat selfish, but I'm thinking about moving from Seattle to Denver to follow Russell Wilson of course, but if I can get the truck in 2022 (I don't trust the binding agreement), I would wait a few more months to write off the $7.5k. I figured if throughput increases and folks are getting their trucks with Sept or Oct delivery dates, there's a chance for me. It's also just kind of fun to track the SC's volume.

That seems a bit low to me. My wife and I talked to someone at the Denver SC and they are doing ~10/day (averaging 50/week). As far as I have seen Bellevue has the same qty on the lot so I don't know why the throughput would be a lot lower.

Not sure about the throughput, but I work a couple of blocks away and pass in front of it often. There are quite a few R1T’s back there, and saw two or 3 R1S’s this past Friday.

Man, everyone's always talking about how common R1Ts are in Seattle but I've only seen one in Auburn and one on a ferry back from Bainbridge! I'd love to see them pump out some more deliveries too.

West Seattle has at least a few, a ton around the Phinney Ridge/Green Lake surrounding area, and always see some driving around the major highways. Saw one in Duvall just this weekend. I've actually seen two in Tacoma, so I'm sure there's a healthy amount down there as well. I was walking my dog around Titlow and stumbled on a limestone in someone's driveway. I now regularly make walking around that neighborhood part of my walk when I'm down there.

Well, my own record is 12 R1T in one day I saw on roads on the eastside... I was in the 13th unit )))
Due to wait time for a service, I think Bellevue SC is pumping out a lot of cars.

On the day I was getting my delivery other 5 R1T were scheduled for the delivery the same day. Back in mid of July when I was there waiting for an alignment to be done from 8 am until 1 pm they delivered 3 trucks and 1 was picked up by a transportation company.

From my talking with them during my last couple service visit they are running two shifts for dealing with service and new vehicle inspections. So they must have a pretty decent throughput for that to be necessary.

That said in my experience they are not doing a very good job.

There's 2 in my north Seattle neighborhood.

Re: throughput, I'm supposed to get mine by end of this month. Given that it is the end of the quarter, I'm sure they will do everything they can to push as many deliveries as possible (hopefully it doesn't turn into a Tesla like end of quarter QC issue...given @jjswan33 's service issues, sounds like they'd never get resolved).

That said, with the pending railroad strike who knows what overall throughput is going to look like.

I imagine that should only cause a backlog at the delivery stage and might not affect guide or order fulfillment unless it gets really bad.

Fair fair! My neighbor and I both have the trucks, was hoping for more in the Wedghood.

I've been seeing quite a few more in North Seattle. Three including myself in the immediate area and there's someone with an El Cap that I see most days at school drop off. My kid is always on the lookout and spotted a couple at the UW tailgate in E1 this past Saturday.
