The guide said that Rivian is batch processing R1S production by exterior color. Production of employee vehicles, though, is occurring before general production.

Wow odd in may 2019 in DC area and don't even have a guide. Please keep in touch and let us know when you will get delivery.
We're not that far apart on order date. Did you ever learn your order number...or your 'order number'?

@kanandrum - Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me. The only thing I can think of is that GW is late on the list of colors to be manufactured.

Yah it's all good but seriously I'd love to be a fly on the wall if you do Rockville delivery. I'm in Silver Spring and just want to see it at the very least while I wait for mine.

If his delivery window is August/September, his R1S is a Launch Edition and eligible for the Launch Green color.
Rivian was quite clear in the email that not every Launch Edition would get Launch Green - that's why they asked people to lock it in if they wanted it. I can't find the email now but that was happening right as the configurator went live. That's why I selected it and _never_ changed it.

My configuration is similar to the OP and my pre-order date is December 2019. I'm in Denver with a well-established service center and R1S's showing up in town. Yet again, the Scooby-Doo mystery of how some people get invited to take delivery...

R1S Launch Edition
I received an email on Tuesday, August 16th, requesting me to confirm my R1S configuration - Limestone, 22" bright, black mountain (DC area). Rivian also assigned my guide at that time. I decided to change the exterior color to launch green and spoke to my guide about it. She confirmed (1) that the limestone configuration would likely have been delivered by the end of September (my delivery window was August/September), and (2) the change in color would delay my delivery time, but she didn't know by how much (as has been discussed, Rivian batch processes manufacturing by paint color, among other factors). We'll see what happens to the delivery time; the guide indicated that Rivian plans to provide updated delivery windows across the board within the next couple of weeks.
Congratulations! If you get the opportunity I would love to hear your guide's take on whether Ocean Coast is in the mix for early R1S orders or whether that would cause further delays as well.

True. Some of us have been waiting even longer and are perfectly located.
There may be no logic or maybe we just don’t get it.

It's been an option in the configuration tool forever and is still an option for anyone with an LE trim that hasn't locked their order with a Guide.

After finally finding the emails, I think you're right and I was remembering incorrectly. It was Launch Edition that was limited, not Launch Green. Any LE can get LG, though.

Same (Jan 20 and I live down the street from the OP)… my delivery window went from June/July 2022 to 1 H 23 doesn’t make any sense. Trying to be patient but this is frustrating. Congrats to the OP though

I don't remember ever seeing this. I do remember them saying the amount of Launch Edition trucks was going to be limited, and that you can choose any color for them. They sold out of "Launch Edition" trucks within a few days of opening the ordering system up. Everything after that had to be Adventure, which isn't eligible for Launch Green.

@Dark-Fx - see my quote reply above. I found the emails and I was wrong. You're correct.

Just to confirm what other are saying, I was able to switch my LE R1S to Launch Green a couple weeks ago. I had it previously configured as Midnight.

Do you know what your delivery window is?
