R1S Delayed Until 2022 - or so another article says so

[mkennedy1996]

" Rivian’s first vehicle, a $73,000 pickup, is expected to start shipping in September, and a second model, a $75,500 seven-seat SUV, is supposed to be released next year. "

This is another article with the same theme on R1S deliveries. Is this bad / lazy reporting, or is there bad news in the air that I have not heard?

For what it is worth, I did ask CS about the Bloomberg article in regards to it being delayed, and was told that they are definitely delivering this fall. Then again, they told us at the end of May that deliveries were delayed until July. So take it witha grain of salt. I am personally hoping that my LE is delivered by memorial weekend.

My guess is more lazy reporting. They have not updated the details since the July update from RJ, I would think if that was reported anywhere it would have been updated in the August upadte.

This was from the July update RJ sent out;

We know you can’t wait to get behind the wheel of your vehicle. Earlier this summer, we announced that deliveries would begin in July; however, the timing for the first deliveries of the R1T has shifted to September, with the R1S shortly thereafter in the fall. I wanted to be sure you heard this from me directly.

I just had Adam in CS state today that R1S deliveries are starting January 2022. Didn't give it much thought since I'm at the tail end of LE, but now i wish I saved the transcript.

Might be worthwhile for someone to ping CS again tomorrow

Can you point me to the context that you mention in this article that connects the next year with the maxpack?

Interesting, I emailed CS, I’ll update with what they respond.

FWIW, it says on their website that all non-LE vehicles will begin to start deliveries in January 2022.

Yes, but it also says that for LE R1T.

That is actually referencing the adventure below it. They took off the start dates for LE, it used to be above the box.
