Boom! Just logged in for the millionth time and finally have a guide.
Congrats!! But from what I'm quickly finding out it's just another line with very little information.

Ughhh.... at least they know I exist. What a process.
True!! Sign up for the guide meeting right away so you can sign the PBA. Noticed we have similar build specs. Where in California do you live?

I got mine probably 10 - 15 minutes after the call. That is when the waiting starts. Basically, your guide will not reach out to you and has no information for you until you receive the 8-step e-mail. Well at least that is my experience.

Honestly, given the multiple people posting about last-minute "opps" with transportation there's no way I would risk it. I'd fly out and drive it across the whole country if I was given that option once it made it safely to ANY Rivian center.
Hoping to get lucky. "Do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do you?"

Since I hated being on the opposite-side of this kind of post-up,
I will not be overly enthusiastic in my latest Rivian experience.....







I GOT A GUIDE TODAY! ALL MY ANGST JUST WENT AWAY! :p ?

We're (or at least I am) not losing hope, we (or at least I) just think it's f***ing ridiculous they are delivering vehicles to people who have been waiting barely a year when there are some who have been waiting for 3+ and haven't even heard a word (and have configs very similar if not the same as folks who are getting delivered).

Why Rivian isn't calling people in order by reservation date and saying "If you're not married to an LE we can get you into an adventure . . . " is completely befuddling, almost as befuddling as understanding why they are shipping adventures before they finished up their LEs. Hell sell me an adventure trim and I'll pay the extra for wheels, they'd make more money.

Again, this isn't about you or anyone else who's gotten a truck ahead of schedule, this is just a situation where Rivian is again completely botching the communications by not explaining to folks what they are doing and why.
it Started out annoying. Now it’s starting to make me resentful. I wasn’t planning on receiving a truck until July-Sept window but I keep seeing people with 2021 order dates and oct-Dec delivery windows getting trucks in the same spec as my pre-order in my delivery area.

Resentment is the perfect word. I am almost as peeved as I was with the pricing increase - maybe more because I understood why they did the pricing increase. None of this makes any sense.

Every time I see someone get a guide I just say to myself - well I'm one person closer.

Congrats. As another fellow San Diegan, also patiently waiting, I am curious to hear how your process goes.
