R1S updated estimated delivery window email (received June 11)

[R1Sky Business]

CS update today for early window/no update email people. The obligatory salt grain blah blah…

My CS rep was willing to say

…emails would continue to go out over the next tei weeks

…priority still placed on LE deliveries

…the fact I have a guide a very good sign I’d still see a sooner delivery

?

Did they confirm everything is still on time ?

Congrats to you.

Every other CS gives different answers, At this point there is no guarantee on anything until its delivered and Truck / SUV is in hand. its a lottery.

Even with challenges they have face on supply chain one can easily predict - they dont want to share the obvious bad news and lose the number of orders all at once. Hence all the wording jargon. It perfectly makes sense.

There is a difference between "..All R1S orders are delayed, many are 4-6 months, with No ETA for Non-LE orders" vs. " we are providing new delivery windows based on customer config and location". When they sent projections in Dec 2021 all these supply chain problems existed..

I think if they still maintain that 90k order volume by end of year they are good for their numbers and they wont change their course.

Independent its a 2023 for me, I dont think i will wait another 6 months trying to figure out how Rivian will deliver products to customers.

2024...here we come

Day 1 order as well and had a March-April delivery window (target, projection, soon'ish expectation). Revised target per the email: Oct-Dec. Still trying to figure out the shift. Must be configuration based and not based on original reservation date.

It's a mix of who knows/nobody knows/Your guess is as good as mine.

I may have missed it, but appears that no R1S or R1T with OC interior has been given a new delivery window. Anyone? I haven’t received any updated email giving me a new window or telling me it will be in 2023…
I got a guide and signed PBA in April, which now appears to be nothing more than a false start.

No mention of OC interior is probably not a good sign.

I’ve seen very little to no evidence that they are still prioritizing LE deliveries….

Just the company line....

Tesla has always beat to a different drummer. An example, 2016 they completely changed the design of the front on the Model S in July, 2016 but did not change the model year. So half of the 2016 have the old fake grill design and half have the newer design. Most manufacturers would have changed the model year with a body design change.

You really cannot tell what a Tesla has for specs based on model year.

I agree. My first 2016 Model X was delivered in December 2015. My second 2016 Model X was delivered at the end of December 2016 and had AP2 and was completely different than the 2016 Model Xs with AP1 built just a few weeks earlier. Both kept the same model year.

Model year does matter though. That 2016 Model X with AP2 was in a crash and was a total loss. The comparables for loss value were all to 2016 Model Xs and despite a long fight, was we were not successful in changing the calculations. The result was a lot less value for my car vs a 2017 built 22 days later.

Anyone know anyone who switched from an S to a T and if so, how much earlier their delivery window got?

Yea you are treated as any other R1T preorder holder. I know of several people who changed and have 2022 windows.

 

[mkennedy1996]

Oh!!! That means I have a 2022 M3P then!!! Good to know.

Whatever you want to believe. You stated that Tesla goes by calendar year and I simply pointed out that is not always true. 2 of my 5 Teslas were delivered in the year before their model year.

Literally agreed with you…

Wow I didn’t even get an email, thinking it’s because have an explorer package selected right now and basic options for a low 70k price tag. I’ll wait though. Taking the Hummer EV truck delivery this year. Will add the R1S as a more affordable SUV is 2023 I’d hope.
