Imagine you’ll be one of the first to know when they start delivering with you location, order date and config!
I’m hopeful…

I am a R1S May/June hopeful (Jan 2019 pre-order).:fingerscrossed:. I’ve logged into my account a number of time and I see the same number after …..vehicle/order/ portion of the URL. Just wondering if this our original order number(place in line)? It’s a four digit number for me and that leads me to believe it might be.

Has any R1S reservation holders with a guide got any information about when the owners manual will be available?

In a different thread someone mentioned it was legal holding this up. So, whenever they clear it.

Yes, I saw that but seems it was a couple of weeks ago. Makes me wonder what supply constraint must be holding the R1S up and if a configuration change is pending for the manual completion.

I really thought they would want to have some R1S deliveries before Q1 earnings report on May 11th but looking at things today that does not look likely. It probably will be an update on the EDV deliveries and R1S news will fall later in the quarter and reported after Q2 close.

Seems like a lost opportunity for some good stockholder news. Even a couple of hundred R1S deliveries in the first half of Q2 would have gone a long way for investor confidence.

Not that stock price plays a roll in their day to day operations but when trying to make the case with your vendors that Rivian should be a priority customer, rising stock price would be very helpful.

I doubt most shareholders care whether the deliveries are R1S or R1T. As long as they are showing a consistent ramp up that would be positive news.

In my sig, except I changed to Black after they emailed that OC was delayed to Fall. Coming on three years . . . .
I am contemplating doing the same (changing my config from OC to BM)...my guide said she would take care of that, but hasn't been done yet. And she couldn't tell me how my delivery window will be impacted. When we first spoke 2 weeks back, she said I was 4-6 weeks away which would align w/ my April/May delivery window. At this point, I really dont know what to believe.

If any of you get one or see one in person, I really appreciate it if you could share these measurements:

In-house lawyer here. That just can’t be true!

Also, it would take very little time to review the manual, especially as it’s not much different from the R1T’s. It’s been a week or two since that comment, which is well more than enough time to read and edit a pdf manual if that were the last step. But still no R1S deliveries.

If they have a backlog of R1Ses waiting and legal review is literally the only thing left to do before shipping, they’d get it done ASAP and hire outside counsel to work around the clock if any expertise is lacking in-house. Getting R1Ses out the door is one of the most important accomplishments to check off their list, they’re not going to dawdle.

Finally, they can update the thing over the air, so if they need to change something it’s not the end of the world.

So maybe legal review isn’t complete. But it can’t be the *only thing* holding back deliveries. We haven’t seen any R1Ses on trucks or service centers - they could at least be doing pre-delivery logistics while they wait for the manual if the SUVs were ready. But they haven’t… it’s just gotta be more than signing off on the manual.

We need an updated drone picture of the Normal plant again to see if more R1S's are being lined up for delivery....

the actually answered that question in the video recap, and said it was almost ready (s00n). So, it was more than crickets but much less than helpful.
