Are you getting the Performance with Launch Package or waiting for the Premium or Standard? Where’s your location, service centers nearby? Just curious if there’s a method to their madness.

I don’t really need the Performance. But I put in the Launch Edition because I’d be willing to get one if my name came up early.

However, now that I have time, I’m going to get what I really want: the Premium in Forest Green with Coastal Cloud, tow package, and standard 20” wheels with all seasons.

I’m in Garner, NC; 25 mins from a service center/space.

August - September here. Reservation placed right after the debut. Don't own a Rivian. No lease. Said I was interested in the Launch Edition. Surrounded by service centers and showrooms.

Also a bit concerned that all the invites only stretch into early next year.

I reserved on June 15th and have a Sep-Oct window. Seems quick but I also attached my lease which is up on Oct 31st. Still no guarantee that I can get one before lease end. Still not sure I want to lease due to apparently unfavorable terms. Thinking about a Kia EV6 for 24 month lease and then come back to Rivian.

I'm a Day 1 reservation holder and got a 1-2 week order timeline. I live in Virginia, no lease, not a previous Rivian owner. I have never filled out any preferences, builds, etc. I've also been unable to schedule a test drive. I check randomly but there's never any availability.

My order window is November to December, and they assured me the LE will be available. Did your wife's reservation specifically say you want the LE?

Yes, I asked the assistant on the website and it said that the order will be processed and we will receive it when its available, so thats good. Said 1-2weeks for order and 4-8 weeks for delivery so pending delays looks like she could get a borealis so

That's great. An awesome color, but I just can't bring myself to get it.

Its a bold color, but the wife either keeps a car forever or totals it so it doesnt matter to us.

Nice. I love the color combo. I wish I could afford the Premium.

Oh, forgot to mention I’m from Columbus, Ohio with a service center about 30 minutes away.

There is no rhyme or reason why some people get order invites and others don't. Nothing is messed up once you realize it's just a lottery and luck is all that matters for order invite timing.

I ordered April 2026, didn't select "I want LE package", and got an order invite June 11th. I was just lucky. Nothing else to say.

There is a rhyme and reason for what's happening. And Rivian has said over and over again that it's not just who reserves first gets it first.
