Nobody knows what logistics are going to look like in 6 months let alone 18 months. Rivian will make their best estimates for increased volume at the end of next year exactly the same way they did 18 months ago for today. Sometimes the market just works against you for unforeseen reasons. I...

They aren’t using trucks for long haul. As has been discussed earlier in this thread, the bottle neck right now is rail transit. Capacity, delays at rail yards, etc. My delivery team has been communicating to me that my CO delivery will be scheduled once the vehicle leaves the rail yard in St...

Definitely an issue, unfortunately it is one Rivian has little control over and I have to imagine it is probably one of their top priorities right now. The biggest impacts to rail capacity are some changes to CDL requirements which has taken drivers off the road and tightened trucking capacity...

I don’t think the issue is necessarily in Normal. I think the issue is in the rail yards where vehicles are loaded and off loaded. Truck transportation is much easier to coordinate than rail. Rail lines have strict schedules due to shared tracks between freight and passenger usage. Rail...

I think this is somewhat dependent on the delivery team (individual). I received a VIN but have been told my delivery won’t be scheduled until the car leaves a rail hub which I’m assuming would then allow for a more reliable ETA. I have been asked to complete all other steps including...

I’ll be interested to see if your delivery date moves up to be more inline with the other Colorado VIN assignments.

Is this something they do on the trade? Put trade in with order that expired but I’m no where near the 1,000 miles it was capped at. Would like to know how you coordinated them resetting the trade value.

Good to have another data point. My order is two days earlier and same spec as you. Have to assume both vehicles will be railed at the same time. I don’t have an estimated delivery date yet but was told once the car has started the rail journey, they will provide an update.

Interesting you received a delivery window. Which Service Center?

Well I just got a text from the Denver Delivery Team. Never got any indication that a VIN was assigned but second text was this: Your vehicle is currently located at the factory and will be shipped here via rail. As soon as we see it begin its journey to us, we should have an estimated ETA for...

True. If things are going into production based on logistics, it would stand that perhaps there will be a batch of VINS for CO, UT, OR, and WA. Given the UP multimodal facilities along the UP rail lines.

After. I got the preproduction email last week and the sale get ready to get ready email today.

And thank you for doing that and posting the information back here. I appreciate the updates and see no reason why you should post a disclaimer of how the data is analyzed. It’s an Internet forum not a thesis paper.

This is interesting based on the geographic trends that might be occurring based on the limited data points. Seems to me, for the west coast, Rivian might be using Union Pacific given their presence in the Midwest and West. Which begs the question of why aren't there more Colorado VIN...

But where are you getting those numbers? Not sure there has been any official production numbers from Rivian and certainly no confirmation of how many invitations were sent out on the 16th or since launch for that matter.

Why do you think it will be that soon? Hopefully it is but just wondering what data points you have that indicate these vehicles will go into production within a few days.

I just got the same email. Ordered on the 17th.

I placed my order today in Colorado, received the confirmation but no estimated window for delivery. I was a bit surprised by this since it seems like most orders give some type of delivery window when they are confirmed. I suppose I waited over 2 years since the reservation was placed so even...

It would help if the people working at the Rivian stores knew this. I have asked 2 different people in person to confirm this and get a different answer each time. Today I was told "just buy that stuff from us here in the shop so if you have any issues, it's easy to return." Rivian needs to...
