Crickets since $400 deposit on 6/17Anybody from the SF Bay Area receive any complete purchase emails?
Yeah, I’m in FL and got Glacier White with 20 AT.Also placed an order on 6/10 and VIN was available almost immediately. Still no delivery date either. In Austin TX. I ordered launch green with 21 inch wheels. Pretty standard config I would think. At my demo drive, the service rep told me (after looking at my VIN) he would expect it to be closer to 4 weeks in the quoted 4-8 week timeline. I am really hoping to hear something this week.![]()
Yeah, I'm not sure what to think anymore. My rep gave me an estimate of July 1 which meant two weeks. But I still haven't received an email yet so who knows.Also placed an order on 6/10 and VIN was available almost immediately. Still no delivery date either. In Austin TX.

Darn mine is the same color but 21”Catalina Cove with 20” inch wheels. Delivery set for 7/10 in Tempe. Vin# **1003.
Rivian never said that. They said by the end of the month you would be told when to expect your invite to order. Can't order without an invite.One more day until open orders for all, in theory.
Awesome analysis! CA is a big state, I’d wager the CA cluster is all in SoCal. Chatting with other Bay Area folks, we are getting no love in northern CA. Time for Rivian to kick it up a notch on Catalina Cove!I did a quick analysis of the R2 tracker data so far, looking only at rows where a VIN has been assigned. A few interesting patterns are starting to show up.
Big caveat: this is a small, self-reported sample, so I would not treat it as definitive. But there are some clear early signals.
1. Color seems to matter more than expected
Once you remove the obvious constants, since all early builds are Performance Launch Package with Black Crater interior, color is one of the biggest differences.
Among VIN-assigned orders, Half Moon Grey and Glacier White appear to be heavily overrepresented compared with other colors.
Approximate VIN assignment rate by color in the tracker:
The biggest takeaway here is that Half Moon Grey and Glacier White look like they are moving first. Launch Green appears popular, but not many VINs have been assigned yet in the tracker.
- Half Moon Grey: 15 VINs out of 19 entries, about 79%
- Glacier White: 9 out of 12, about 75%
- Catalina Cove: 8 out of 46, about 17%
- Launch Green: 4 out of 36, about 11%
- Esker Silver: 0 out of 12
- Midnight: 1 out of 3
2. Location/logistics appear to matter
VINs are not spread evenly across the country. California has the biggest cluster, with 8 VINs assigned. Missouri also stands out with 4 VINs assigned, which is interesting given its relative proximity to Normal, Illinois.
That makes it look like Rivian may be batching vehicles by transport lane or delivery-center readiness, rather than going strictly by reservation date.
PA does have VINs assigned, so the Mid-Atlantic is not being ignored. But PA/NJ does not look like as large of an early cluster as California or some closer Midwest markets.
3. Order date seems more important than original reservation date, but neither is everything
A lot of the VIN-assigned orders came from people who ordered around June 16 and June 17. Many were also March 7, 2024 reservation holders, but not all.
There are later reservation holders with VINs too, which suggests this is not strictly first-reserved, first-built. Configuration, location, delivery center, and transport batching all seem to be factors.
4. Purchase orders seem to be moving faster than leases
Among the VIN-assigned rows, purchases are heavily represented. The tracker shows roughly 35 purchase orders with VINs versus only 2 leases.
That could simply reflect the sample, but it may also mean purchase orders are cleaner or easier to process in the first wave.
5. R1 ownership does not look like a major deciding factor
The VIN-assigned rows are pretty evenly split between current R1 owners and non-R1 owners. So far, the data does not suggest that current R1 owners are being massively prioritized.
My overall read
The R2 rollout does not look purely reservation-date driven. It looks more like Rivian is assigning VINs based on a combination of:
The biggest pattern so far is color. Half Moon Grey and Glacier White seem to be getting pulled forward, while Launch Green, Catalina Cove, and Esker Silver appear slower based on the current tracker data.
- Buildable color/configuration batches
- Delivery-center readiness
- Transport/logistics efficiency
- Purchase vs lease processing
- Reservation/order timing
Again, this is all based on a small self-reported sample, so it could change quickly as more people update the sheet. But at this stage, those are the biggest patterns I’m seeing.
Yup. Preordered day one within the first 5 minutes. Build confirmed + submitted 6.17. Complete purchase email came through this morning, 6.29, around 10am along with VIN assignment (~2100). Delivery texts/email by noon, which was confirmed for the latter half of July at the SSF Service Center.Anybody from the SF Bay Area receive any complete purchase emails?
Ok mister legal eagle, at least we will get an invite to order and get a delivery date.Rivian never said that. They said by the end of the month you would be told when to expect your invite to order. Can't order without an invite.
I don't think you will be able to order tomorrow. I think they will tell you what month you can order then you get the delivery window.Ok mister legal eagle, at least we will get an invite to order and get a delivery date.It's either that or Rivian's roll out of the R2 is FoS.
