WTF with how Rivian is picking people/places to assign R1T's coming off the line.
As a mid-2020 reservation holder, it pains me to see guides assigned to 2021 orders.
And doubly-WTF with some guide contacts just being "exploratory calls" ... if you're going to make contacts for the sole purpose...
well, there's no "marker" in my account yet so still waiting. and oddly there was still not a "marker" in my account when I checked it again after about 10 minutes. Stranger still there was no change to my account status the other 21 times that I logged on today confident that it had changed...
Don't sweat it. Clearly Rivian doesn't give a shit about pushing non-LE R1T's out the door ahead of suckers like me that fell for the "launch edition means early edition" B.S.
Tempted to change my R1T L.E. from Launch green to Forest green while keeping the FE green interior selection. Wonder if that would push me outside the May-June window given for the original config?
what... no deep Forest Green ? ? OH wait, I see it stuck behind more pale Launch Greenies
Never would have guessed from the earliest Rivian days that FG would be a "rare" paint color
Sure would love to hear how Rivian envisions "delivering" (not building) about 15,000 R1's in 2022. Taking this approach of bloating then purging inventory is the worst way to do it. And it really defies all logic when you work in a business that makes things except perhaps holiday decorations.
Determined to stick with LG/FE green on green to the bitter end.
My guess is they'll be lining up the Launch greens first (or s00n) with the move from BM to FE.
Still no guide contact. But it's not May yet! ;)
I recognize the feeling. A couple weeks ago I for the first time made a change to my R1T config from the day in 2020 that I reserved it. I went from LG to FG paint since I loved the dark metallic look from the earliest R1T's in the wild. Then a few days ago I got a weird feeling the change...
With the abundance of R1T's out there in Launch Green with black mtn. interiors, I sure hope the recent announcement means that configs like mine with LG paint and FE green interior become very frequent on the production line. Other than those color picks I did not put any option or accessory...
checking in again.... others like me with recently restored pre-orders but having the incorrect "new" pricing instead of the pre-March price and choices? misery loves company!
Figured some may like a single thread to track and report R1T's selling or sold on eBay Motors.
I know there are other threads about Cars & Bids and BaT, and likely some will post or link that here too.
As of today, eBay Motors shows 3 R1Ts sold on concluded auctions,
and 8 or 9 more actively...
