R2 Orders / VIN / Deliveries List Tracker + Stats 📊

[Josh X]

Well, here's an interesting data point: my delivery for tomorrow was cancelled and rescheduled to next Tuesday. I just got a call from the local SC and was told the techs need more time to perform the PDI and calibrations. He said that they have only done about 10 R2 deliveries in Austin and are still getting up to speed on the process for R2 and its taking some more time than they anticipated. He did not say there were any identified issues with my VIN at this point.

Full timeline:

• Reserved 3/7/2024
• Invited to order 6/16/2026
• Order placed 6/16/2026
• Pre-production email: 6/27/2026
• VIN assigned/purchase steps begin: 7/6/2026
• Original Pickup scheduled 7/22/2026 (for 8/7)
• New Pickup scheduled 8/6/2026 (for 8/11)

I'm frustrated that my pickup was cancelled with less than 24 hours to go, but I am glad the delay is small. Seems like Rivian needs to get their SC techs up to speed and also figure out their logistics. I would have rather been told "your car in transit, we'll reach out soon to soon to schedule delivery" and only been given a delivery appointment once it was at the SC and they knew about how long it would take them to get through the inspection. Ideally the "appointment scheduled" to actual appointment date would only be a couple days rather than the several weeks it seems most people are getting, and then having it changed out from under them last minute.

I think they're adjusting the PDI process to look for issues that early owners are reporting.

That would make sense, as they were supposedly training SC techs on R2 delivery and service back in May and a little before (I think) - but things change when a product is introduced to the masses.

The Rivian CS told me, “While I don't see the exact details of your position in the queue, we've been ramping up launch green. Expecting any day now.” I ordered the same configuration as you but on 7/14 and am still waiting for vin. I’m assuming the color that we picked is causing our delay.

Funny, I just called Rivian CS asking about my LG order not having a VIN yet, and they said "the factory is all out of Launch Green", so we have to wait until they run another batch. He said to check back in 2 weeks! It's already been 4 weeks since I ordered and still no VIN.

Strange - Page 59 TXKidd that just received their VIN and looking past messages they ordered a LG20 on 6/22. I've also seen a few people last week and early this week get LG21 VINs. I was hoping our batch of LG20s was running this week.

I would guess there might allocate a certain percentage of production to different regions in the country. Could explain why some people have VINs for a given colors while others continue to wait.

Interesting. I’ll be at week 4 this upcoming Tuesday 🥲

I'm rooting for you. I'm a 7/28 LG20

At this point we might end up having the same delivery date

Unless sometimes happens last minute, I got the greenlight to pickup tomorrow. I know they had to replace the zonal module which I believe they were doing today and then finishing PDI. Crossing fingers for a smooth final check.

What was your original pickup day? wondering how long it took to get a zonal part as I am waiting on a similar part. Currently pickup was moved from Aug 6th to 11th. I hope they get the part today or tomorrow...

Original pickup date was tomorrow. There was the possibility of moving the date due to waiting on the part but apparently they got two in and one was assigned for my VIN. They do have one tech trained on R2s so it was just a matter of him having the time to replace the part which it sounds like he did.

I believe they are prioritizing R2 deliveries and the Zonal part is being overnighted to SCs that require it and have imminent deliveries. So hopefully they get yours in by tomorrow or Monday at the latest and you should be good to go for Tuesday.

I did not as the rates were too high. Rivian uses Chase who I have a long and excellent history with but that history doesn't really matter when the rates are set even with excellent credit. Also I don't think they were offering terms under 48 months which is what I preferred.

I ended up with Navy Federal at 3.89%.
