Maybe they were going to cancel anyway (i.e. they purchased another vehicle / tired of the wait and constant delays / etc.) and this is their strategy for a better return on investment for the $1k deposit Rivian has had all these years. Plus they got to enjoy it for a little and realize, yes...
I'm not feeling that sweet spot as I'm in eastern PA (Allentown)...April 2019 preorder and my R1S moved into 4th Qtr (from May-June). Maybe I'm 'just a bit too far' from the Brooklyn and Rockville SCs. not the sweet spot here. ?
...I'm holding that 2019 preorder baby! ?
...at least my Model Y I ordered during the March price hike should be here in Sept...so i got that going for me ?♂️

(Poster Edit) sorry for the duplicate to @kanundrum post....i guess we're all excited to get some eye candy. @kanundrum is always on the ball!
Found the 3rd row area seating pics interesting. Doesn't look like much 3rd row leg room, but...

Found the 3rd row area seating pics interesting. Doesn't look like much 3rd row leg room, but also notice what looks like 2nd row latch/(tilt?) & sliding capabilities to gain some more room, as needed:

I vaguely remember an email with a survey like that....yes, I remember; but that was long long long ago, in a galaxy far far away....when we thought, 'wow, Rivian is special, and really striving to have their sh#t together'. Now it's just farce.
I hear ya....I ordered a Model Y for the wife during the price hike circus (didn't cancel my Rivian order) to hedge my bets (and out of spite)....looking like I may get that (est. Sept) before the R1s. Hard to stay excited with all the delays and issues...but trying. ugh.
Congrats! Seeing a lot of R1S guide contacts posted on the FB groups in the past day including OC interiors....even though fools day, I think the next phase is opening ??
Congrats @SEPA R1T ! Looks great! Enjoy ?
Interesting they are delivering out of Rockville center. Being near Allentown, PA I figure mine may come from Brooklyn center.
My HQ office is in Rockville,...when the time comes, may have to look into a 'local' pickup...?
Congrats to @SEPA R1T on getting guide contact and soon to 8-Step program! First I know of in PA. Yeah! Things are moving along. ?. I'm an R1S preorder but interested in how they work things out in PA.
Congrats! I'd bet you are one of the 1st (at least on the forum) factory delivery...F' yeah!
...I'm curious, ditto to @twinprice question....did you see any R1Ss around? ?
I had made a Rivian shirt a while back based on another forum member's idea. This is a perfect tagline @eggpaul for the back of a new shirt design. I love it! Maybe Rivian can add it to their merchandise store, lol.
yeah, ...spool up the R1T/S delay email (# X)...or Rivian can just continue with their MO and let the delivery windows arrive and fly-by without a mention...lol...they have us as a captive buyer.
Huh, take that with a load of salt. Based on their track record, I don't believe anything the CS says...your results may vary...for me it's been a hope and promise. At this point all I'm banking on are direct emails to me from Rivian or communications for me to complete my order.
