The vans would have shipped last Wednesday, but Saturday is Amazon's standard Amazon delivery day. They will ship in fewer boxes and Amazon will get a $3 credit to Prime Music.

I already called "Dibs" on that one!

Dibs on the Red with the 22's. Let me quickly change my config so they can match me up.

I think I would take a van over the SUV or Truck. Just imagine all of the possibilities!

Sure would love to hear how Rivian envisions "delivering" (not building) about 15,000 R1's in 2022. Taking this approach of bloating then purging inventory is the worst way to do it. And it really defies all logic when you work in a business that makes things except perhaps holiday decorations.

So happy they are getting vehicles in customers hands. Thanks for sending these pics. Considering its a new company, first models, and worldwide supply chain issues this is wonderful to see. My guess is come fall we will have a significant amount of R1S's being delivered too. Cheers to optimism!

Are they ready to ship? Or are they waiting on a chip, etc?

Hopefully this isn't Bronco Dirt Mountain Part Deux.

Weird not to spot a single R1S in all of this.

I see my Rivian golf cart! Can’t wait until I pull up the the tee blocks in that bad boy!

Adding to the logistics problems is the shortage of truck drivers. A lot of the trucking companies are offering $100,000 salaries for drivers. I think they should ship by train for the longer distances, like the west coast.

yea; my thought is they're holding back a bigger volume at the factory to ship regionally via train for trucking to the service centers. Who knows.

So ... your thought is that Rivian is delaying shipping by car carriers directly to Service Centers so that they can:

1. Load R1Ts onto car carriers to go to regional train facilities to
2. Load them onto Rail Cars to
3. Unload them off of Rail Cars to
4. Load them onto car carriers to
5. Deliver them to Service Centers

Interesting.

Rivian has rail service directly to the plant in normal. They would load them on car carriers at the plant, be routed regionally and transported via car carrier to service centers when local.

They have rail access at the factory. Many manufacturers do this.

Edit: @AdamsFan1983 beat me to it!
