Just so everything doesn't get lost in the mega thread with the poll, I compiled the links to the survey, the spreadsheet results, the dashboard results, and a geojson here:

I manually generate the geojson so it won't be in sync with the spreadsheet and dashboard.

Rivian R1T R1S ? Rivian Delivery Window Survey Results [Data & Trend Analysis Added] 1637730964244


Enjoy!

Just a quick edit: https://rivian.craiginsdev.com/index2.html has the clustering enabled if you want to drill down into specific areas


Updated 11/27 @ 6PM Eastern with some data trend interpretation / analysis by @Kialoa :

Started looking at the data in the spreadsheet a bit more closely. While there is data that seems to have errors attached (LE AND MaxPack), some duplicates, and some dates typed incorrectly, there is enough to extract trends. I tried to remove most of the suspect entries and made a series of wild assumptions to see what could be learnt from the few hundred remaining data-sets. So far I focused on LE R1T data only. My thoughts so far:

1. The strongest correlation to Projected Delivery Date seems to be the Pre-Order date (Black line in Fig).
2. Within the contiguous 48 states location does not seem to play a significant role
3. Outside the Contig-48 and for Canada the delay seems to be 3-4 quarters (red line below).
4. The Exterior Color, Wheels, Spare, Off-road-Upgrade, and Accessories do not seem to play a significant role
5. Interior Color DOES seem to influence delivery dates. Black Mtn seems to be prioritized. Ocean Coast seems to have a 1-8 week delay, and Forest Edge seems to have the longest delay (4-10 weeks).

Not sure if Excel Figs are legible in this forum, but just in case they are - one of the Figs. I generated is included below. With more data - and more QC of the data - quite a few conclusions could be extracted. Even with the data in hand there is more that could be done to look at non-LE orders, and look at all the R1S data.

Rivian R1T R1S ? Rivian Delivery Window Survey Results [Data & Trend Analysis Added] survey_1-



Since the last Fig was readable - thought I'd share the estimated impact of the interior color selection. The Black Mtn data is not shown again (was on last Fig) - and is only indicated by black line here. Forest Edge data is in Green with Red Text - clearly right-shifted (delayed). On closer inspection Ocean Coast data (light blue, Black Text) is more complex. Almost seems like a bimodal distribution - SOME of the orders are minimally (0-1 week) delayed wrt Black Mtn. Anther set of orders almost overlap with Forest edge delays. As always, there are some outliers...

Gotta love the responses you get in these surveys. For instance the person who thinks they ordered a Max Pack LE R1S…. :CWL:

Some initial observations. I can't easily quantify the data at the moment, but qualitatively:
  • 4 of the 5 people who responded "earlier" also said they have a max pack or adventure package. So, we have one person who responded with a potential delivery prior to March. Or they don't know what package they ordered is.
  • March-May are basically the R1T orders.
  • The sporadic R1S orders with dates before June seem to be focused on preorder dates from 2018 and 2019. So there does appear to be some organization based on that.
  • Color doesn't seem to be a strong indicator.
  • It may be a coincidence, but there don't appear to be any forest edge interiors in the march-April group. There are several in April-May.
  • TN, TX, CA, WA, CO, MO, MY, PA, UT, NY, GA, WI, IA, OR, NC, VA, AZ, OH, IL are all in the march-April batch. Idaho and Montana are in the April-may batch. I significant preference to location here. The only "obvious" location based deterrent for delivery time frame seems to be Hawaii, Canada and (I'm assuming) Alaska with all of them being in the July-September deliveries.
  • Looks like in general, launch editions R1Ts will be delivered between March through May, with R1S in June and July.
  • July-September seem to generally be the 2020 R1S preorders and the "late delivery" locations.
  • June-July R1T orders seem to generally be the 2020 R1T preorders.
TL:DR order priority seems to be R1T-->R1S, and within each the biggest factor is preorder date. The only impact that location seems to have is if you happen to very friendly, or very Mahalo. Neither of which may be true anymore. :p

Going off this, I'm guessing that adventure and explorer packs won't start till September in any meaningful numbers, with delivery sequence being almost entirely preorder date dependent. It will be interesting to see what impact the max pack plays into delivery dates.

Shifting into pure speculation, I suspect we may see the 2018 and 2019 adventure/explorer packs getting a July-September estimate, particularly the max pack version.

I don't recall, but do we have any surveys of the split between LE and non-LE preorders? Assuming LE are limited to 5-10k total, it seems like they don't anticipate exceeding 2,000 delivers/month until late Q3 or maybe Q4. Which seems to align with the change in the S-1 production numbers between the initial filing and the first amendment. We should be able to get a better idea just through some basic stats if we also have a similar survey with the December email us common folk are expecting.

Yeah, I know this was thrown together at the last minute, but that's part of what you allow only correct answers. There literally shouldn't be any max pack or adventure or explorer trims in this survey. At least most of those folks put in "later' so it's fairly easy to filter out. There were also a few in a totally different century.

Regarding the R1T vs. R1S responses…

At present there are 238 R1T responses in the survey with dates other than [earlier, later] to 177 R1S orders. This amounts to roughly a 60/40 split.

As a max pack R1T Feb. 1, 2020, I still have no email. Bummed, but I understand. Curious when those dates start appearing.

Those dates are promised by year end December 30 / 31 according to Rivian. Lets see is that actually happens. I am starting to doubt everything being posted on the Rivian website.

Great write up. I think the only ray of hope for us common folk, which will become clear in the next ~30 days, is whether or not these production batches are completely linear or if they start to feather in any other variation at some point in the next 9 months or so.

I know they are prioritizing LE now but supply chain could require some flexibility and perhaps it could make production-sense to sprinkle in some max packs or Ocean Coast before they’ve exhausted all LE orders just to keep the trains running on time… (one can dare to dream, right?)

The only reason I hold out some hope for this is that it still seems odd to me that they would cap the production output so far below capacity for an entire 3 or 4 quarters into the future. All that cash, all that hiring, all the learnings from running the line now result in [crickets]? Zero improvement through September?

What I’m definitely not anticipating is that anyone who has been given a delivery window will be surprised to the upside. That would be off brand… :)

he @Craigins - FYI that your form allows multiple submissions. There are several of these kinds of surveys floating around right now and I didn't realize I had already submitted on yours (I looked in the spreadsheet and found my earlier response). Just wanted you to know so the data doesn't get _too_ polluted.

You can tell by the data that they will. Given a ramp in production, if it were only LE and then non-LE, you'd see increasing volume by each delivery window in this survey. I think non-LE likely starts delivering to non-employees by summer, which when added to the LE, creates the percentage ramp expected.

Ah crap Svet... Now we have to start again. There goes another 27 pages of forum reading.

Thanks, great job. Would be nice to see for each delivery window a breakdown of location, preorder date, and model (basically Rivan's criteria for defining your delivery window).

I didn't want to require any tracking info. I figured we'd get more responses, with a little more noise.
