R1 Shop Access Granted!

[ChampagneUnicorn]

phew - I’m not a BM FAN SO GOOD!

Me neither. And I’m the same on the white on white one. Hate to say it… but I’ve seen so much LS going out, I’m open to some other options. Just won’t bend on dark 20s and NO BM!

Have any of your guides mentioned when the preorder gear shop will open, with the items that were removed from our configs (spare tire, cross bars, mats etc).

Was curious on this too. Do you remember what the prev pricing was for the crossbars and mats?

Only 2 midnight black's left - surprise the 20" black version is still hanging around. Similar to you, I won't bend on the 22s and NO BM also!

I was just told "January" so probably the 31st and midnight hahahah

I saved my previous config as a PDF. This is a screenshot of the pre March pricing for accessories (at least ones I had optioned).

BM is by far the best interior configuration, no contest at all. I’m nowhere near a tidy enough person to maintain a white interior.

Nice, that's better than what I was just told by my guide "early 2023." I'm in no major rush for crossbars, but its a little swampy out there right now and would love all weathers by the time I get my truck

Couldn't disagree more! I have white interior on my Tesla and it's been super easy to keep clean. That said, I'm not a "boring black" interior type of guy and the warm wood mixed with the gray-green Forest Edge interior is like nothing else in the market. For me, it's a must have!

I wanted FE just because but I am *very* happy I got black instead.

I'm in NH and was given shop access last week. I had been holding out for a max pack since ordering in Sep 2021, and had decided to wait for more clarity on the Dual-motor/extended range option, and on the re-engineered tonneau cover. But seeing more than 50 R1T choices was hard to resist. I did miss out on two that had caught my eye, but then I found a FG/FE truck with 20" ATs and a tonneau cover (which I later learned is currently functional, but in any case will be replaced when the new design is available). It didn't include RUS, which was on my original order, but I had already been thinking I could live without that given my intended use. So I just decided to go for it. I'm scheduled to pick up the truck next week.

Unfortunately my vehicle is not configured with a spare wheel, but I was told that very soon the option to purchase a spare tire kit will be open to everyone through the gear shop. I was asking in particular about a spare to match the 20" ATs on my build, but I interpreted the response to imply that this would also be available for other tire choices.

Seeing all those R1 shop choices made me recognize that almost any of the configurations and colors would very likely make me happy. I could have waited longer for what might be the perfect configuration, but I began to feel that now is a sweet spot for buying an R1. Anyway, best of luck to all of you who are trying to make similar decisions!

Same here. I caved and grabbed a red canyon with black mtn-dark ash, and 20” AT bright wheel and tire. I didn’t really care for the 20” tire but that was the only choice.

I received my truck in December and a part of me wished I would have delayed my purchase for a 2023 model. I say wait!

What’s the difference? You thinking dual, dual-enhanced options?

 

[mini2nut]

I recently placed another $1k refundable deposit for another R1T. Who knows what revisions and changes the 2024 or 2025 model will offer.

I just got a note that I will be getting setup with Shop access in the next day or two! Some burning questions I can't find all the answers to about the shop:

1. Can I still get matched with a Vin with my exact config while I have shop access? Or does that get paused? My window is Feb/March, so was expecting a match soon anyway.

2. How do you navigate to the shop? does a new tab show up on rivian.com? Or is there a special url? I know you get an email alert with a link, but thinking that is likely delayed to when you actually get access.

3. How long do you have access to the shop? Is it forever or is there a window and it goes away?

4. Do you get any sense of ETA from the shop? For example, maybe 1 is arriving at the SC tomorrow but another is just coming off the line.

Thanks!

Dang, I'd just looked recently and only the one at that point, so they just added them. There's a blue with stuff I'd take including RUS and a spare, but it's on 21s and not 20s. Boo.

Just take the free 21's. I then bought 20s wheels from svc center for
$600ish ea and can choose tires. Basically a free range wheel/tire combo and offroad when needed or sell 21s and come out ahead vs paying for only 1 set with truck
