Google maps says 17.5 miles so not far
Good to know about the 2022 VINs, my current car situation is that I have to jump start my car every time I want to drive it, it is certainly not going to pass emissions after both my catelytic converters were stolen and replaced and it needs to be driven off a cliff. I could use a car sooner than later and might actually be fine with a match not exactly what I wanted. 
This is really weird for your guide to say... like how did they respond when you told them where you are? I asked my guide for shop access as well and I never got it but he found me a shop truck on his own and assigned the vin to me. Might be worth asking about, or ask to switch to Kareem, who is a great guide (he just helped me with some service center bs).
Agree. Just keep asking. I was told emphatically NO in November because "my vehicle was already batched for production" right after confirmation of my configuration. I gained access in January after asking 2-3 more times. Keep pressing! I'm 18 miles from the Denver Service Center.
Thanks for the info. To be fair my guide is very nice and responsive, just had some weird contradictory convos, but I guess something good came out of the most recent one.
My truck I just got from the shop is a 2023 VIN so could either be just luck or truly a mix in the shop now. But definitely not all are 2022. Maybe your guide was able to see your shop at the time you asked and that was the case at that moment
This could have been it, what they were able to see at the time. Although I’ve been told from the onset of my shop access this month that for foreseeable future until 2022 inventory clears out, shop cars will be 2022s. Clearly I’ve been misinformed.
Same here.. a 2022 VIN a month in to 2023 without a discount doesn't fly. Rivian made a mistake (IMO) waiting till the last second to shift to 2023 VINs because it doesn't account for vehicles sitting in the factory yard, those in transit or orphans in The R1 Shop. Even Tesla now shifts to the next year's VINs in late Sept which prevents leftovers in their stock once the calendar year changes.
100 percent agree.. this was a rookie mistake, really surprised their managers didn’t think of this. I’m guessing this year the 24’s will be produced in October or November if they learned anything.
Got a reply from my guide today on this. They basically told me that back in November we discussed the Dec-Jan delivery window and that I'm supposedly still in the window, although I find it very unlikely I'll take delivery in the next 12 days. It seems like the majority of the replies tend to be pretty stock boilerplate stuff, so they then told me "they'll be sharing refreshed delivery windows at the end of January and we'll know if there have been any adjustments to my delivery window." Wait whaaaa? Why provide a delivery window in the first place if it's going to change?
. Still a bunch of 2021 orders that haven’t been fulfilled.
