Yes, but at the time, EV options were very limited. Options aren't as limited anymore... If the email I get by the end of June says I have to wait 3-4 months, then I'm going for my 2nd choice... because I have a 2nd choice.
My service center guy today told me they are only doing employee deliveries right now, at my SC at least. He was happy to hear I had my order in but not surprised I didn't have a delivery estimate yet.
I didn’t say there were manufacturing issues. I am saying they weren’t ready to ramp yet. This was all a move to please investors. Rivian hasn’t learned much from the R1 rollout.
Heads up, the Pittsburgh service center isn’t doing R2 deliveries yet. I got my vin on 6/22 and Cleveland is the only pickup option. Called two different sales people and was told Pittsburgh won’t be available until later in the summer.
Oh interesting! They didn’t mention that when I did my test drive there. I have to take my R1S in for service on Thursday so I was going to ask about it then.
Ordered Half Moon Grey with 21s on 6/16.
My reservation was made on 3/7/2024, day 1 during the reveal. Had a demo drive on 6/9/26 as soon as they were available. The order invite was sent on 6/16/2026 and I placed the order within minutes of receiving the email. VIN was given today. Don't have an official delivery date yet, but a Rivian guide texted me from the N Las Vegas SC and said the logistics estimate would have the vehicle here in about 3-4 weeks.
I don't think you have a factual basis for that claim. Clearly in many ways they have learned. It looks like they have made rational choices that they see as moving the company forward, and not deliveriing vehicles was not an option for them. But only time will tell if it is enough. I mean, not delivering Pet Mode at launch is hardly a tragedy or justifies holding up production when they don't know how well the new RGB camera works with the software.
So the two to six weeks to delivery after ordering is just arriving today. Not too surprising it's not happening yet on the short end of that time frame.
I'm VIN 073x in Austin, awaiting scheduling along with you!Ordered standard config Launch Green on 06/11/26. Had a VIN a few days later (1192). Everything seemed to be moving quickly, but now I haven't heard anything. Anyone in Austin taken delivery yet? I was hoping to get luck and get it before the July 4 holiday.
