As they say, long-time lurker, first-time poster.
As you can see from my signature I am a relatively late 2021 order. I got the December email that my order would be OCT-DEC 22 delivery. Since then, however, crickets from Rivian. No June 11 email and not even a reply that I sent to CS regarding the updated delivery window. That makes me wonder if this is related to my location. I am used to the thought that I live in the forgotten state of NM, when CSR from other companies tell you that they don't deliver internationally. (!?)
Hence my question is there anyone in the Land of Enchantment that has been contacted by Rivian with a firm delivery date or even (god forbid) gotten a truck?

Thanks, and please prove me wrong!

June 2019 LE R1S here. Consistently crickets here too.

Trying to be zen while watching all the R1Ts getting theirs first, and now R1S's in seemingly all 49 other states, regardless of reservation date.

My vehicles are working vehicles (I'm a movie scout) and the current ride is fading fast (285k hard miles). Trying anxiously to figure out whether to spend precious dollars for an "in-betweener" car this seller's market.. *breathe...*

A friend spotted a launch green R1T in Santa Fe a month ago. Could be local or just passing through..

Where are you based in NM?

I was thinking about switching my delivery address from WI to NM (SAF).

I imagine it matters if you're in ABq/SAF or Silver City.

Hmm, I think any Rivian sightings in NM were folks from CO on their way back from AZ. I am in Cruces and the nearest SC is currently PHX. Even for folks in ABQ or SAF Denver is the closest SC. I think the company wants to control service cost and therefore places watershed areas down on the priority list for any deliveries.

R1T order 3/21 Santa Fe. The rumor up here is that there is an LE green around; my wife saw it and a work colleague said he saw it too about six weeks ago and a white one too. So it seems possible that two LEs got delivered to Santa Fe, but it's been crickets for me too. I never got the New Year's delivery window email (because I changed from Explore to Adventure the last week of December) and never got the June email and no response to my email inquiries. I chatted with them and that was the best response yet, but he said to be patient.... I'm on the list. He did not answer my question about changing delivery location (I'd go anywhere!) Tempted to ask again. I would just like to have a delivery window so I can plan a little. I finally got rid of my F250 (320k miles) and have an old used Tacoma that I was hoping I'd only have to keep for a couple of months... but that is dragging now into a year. oh well. patience is a virtue! If anyone does hear any NM news would love to hear.

I have a black one in ABQ, friend has a LG one. I know of a blue one in Los Lunas. My delivery guy said he had delivered quite a few to Taos and a handful to SF.

NM discord with a couple of owners, if you want to reach out for a ride or something.

FWIW, I took delivery at the service center in Boston, and was talking to the guy who did my delivery and Rivian is actively planning an ABQ service center and he’s going to be transferring there within 24 months (or so they told him and he told me in this big game of telephone)

I’ll have a white very soon. A friend of mine will also be getting a white one around the same time. Both in Albuquerque.

I'm in Santa Fe and have seen one R1T in town a week or so ago. Didn't catch the plates so not sure if it was a NM resident or just passing through. Had a RTT on it...

We have a Jan 2022 R1S preorder and have never had a delivery window. Thinking of switching to R1T in hopes of getting it sooner but really want the R1S.

If anyone in or near Santa Fe has a Rivian we'd love to come see it as we have not been able to see one in person so far, aside from a couple random sightings while driving.

Saw an R1T in Albuquerque this morning! Near San Mateo and Mcleod. First one I'm aware of with NM plates.

Rivian R1T R1S New Mexico anyone? 8290
