I think they are getting bottle necked by the Hawes location. I drove by it a couple of days ago and they are still a month or so away from being complete. They also moved out of their temporary location on Peeler so I'm not sure how they are servicing any vehicles right now. My theory is they aren't doing major matching until the location is up and running to manage quality control.
They were never servicing vehicles in Dallas (perhaps minor stuff that was equivalent of a mobile visit, but they don't have full equipment/shop), that was only a delivery staging center. Houston was/is the only SC in Texas. Austin is basically open, but not quite taking appointments just yet.

I have had DFW shop access for over a month. For the first few days there was a single truck (RB, FE, AT 20"). I have not seen a truck in over a month in the shop. Welcome to obsessively checking and being disappointed by the shop.
Maybe the service center is playing major role, other locations have seen a few.

I am seriously thinking about changing the configuration to regular 21", after watching Munro's Rivian R1T | Sandy Goes Off-Roading + Load Test. 20" AT look good, but I bet I will ever need them. Now I am hoping, downgrading would increase my chances of getting a delivery before end of the year.

Well they closed on the land last fall, submitted permits a few months ago with a stated start date of 7/1 (which doesn't actually have to happen, that's an earliest it can happen date) and completion I think of late this year. However, that clearly won't happen, but I'm thinking perhaps this time next year, or late 2023.

It will be nice, as it has a rooftop patio and the parcel has direct access to the Ladybird hike/bike trail.
