There are many registered users (and non-registered lurkers) who likely do not have a pre-order, so there is a small market I would say. They're likely also not vocally expressing interest and just PM'ing OP directly.
I hadn't heard of BAT though, thanks for that - always curious to learn more...
Complaining first thing Monday morning when the update has been promised "this week"? Pssh ...
After that first email went out saying that the configurator would be updated in a few weeks, we had people asking for their update mere days afterward. This is tame in comparison ?
I agree with this but the devil’s advocate in me keeps saying that I don’t need a cool color because it’s already a cool vehicle. We already get light bars, stadium lights, yellow brake calipers, yellow badging accents (and a black roof for the R1S). There’s enough cool to go around even if we...
@OutofSpecKyle's videos have gotten me reacquainted with the 1.5x playback speed setting on YouTube, but I still watched it all! :D Thanks for keeping the content coming.
This is how I've been operating as well. Make changes to the configurator as soon as you are sure of wanting something, so that Rivian has your preferences up to date before they decide to lock your config in.
On the flip side, if the guide was busy coordinating even more deliveries that bodes well for the company and for us.
Still, sucks this happened to OP. Agree with others that as disappointing as it is, it sounds like they’re trying to make it right. Hope you get a working R1T soon.
I saw a Bronco with this color yesterday and I had the same thought. I am really liking how it looks (not my post, just sharing as reference):

The wife is convinced that if we're spending extra on a color it should be FG...
To continue this analogy: the only thing that's being sold in the store are plungers. For plungers that are in stock and going to customers, they've got "blue-apron" guides dealing with those. What the hell else is orange apron guy doing anyway that he's being pulled away from? And @AdamsFan1983...
Does Alexa recognize other passengers' commands? If someone riding shotgun says "Alexa turn the heat up", does it only do it on their side? Alternatively, if a kid in the back yells out "Alexa play Baby Shark* on max volume" does it comply? (*Note: I consider myself incredibly lucky to have...
That's a pretty good idea. For other phones, I also like @Khaneric's suggestion of 3d printing custom mats - you could do some that have ridges to keep phones in the optimal zone.
