No email but my configuration - an R1T Max - was confirmed many months ago. It was made moot by the December email informing us of the demise of the quad R1T Max and I've since re-configured to the R1S. My configurtation status remains the same, "Configuration Confirmed"

Rivian said that they will be adding the R1S to the R1 Shop in 2023, so perhaps all this activity with confirmations is the start of that process.

Welcome to the club!

My build was confirmed in August of 21. My delivery is still supposed to be April-June 22.

Maybe they are just waiting for a few more Compass Yellow R1S to sign up.

I am in the Rivian hotbed known as SoCal and neither my Guide, his fellow Guides or anyone at the SC have seen a Yellow S.

Congrats to all that got the email!! It seems to me that Rivian could do better than 25,000 last year, but safe some numbers for this year.

Rivian pretty much has no choice but to do better in 2023 than last year. They are well-capitalized but that stake is being whittled down and they need a significant boost in cash flow. I believe that their production in Q4 was over 10,000 vehicles; if they just bump that by a couple of thousand each quarter, they will double 2022 production. We should see revised production estimates at the next earnings call, which I think is in early February.

Saw a yellow S in the Plymouth lot a few weeks ago (Detroit area SC). There were several other more-prepped-for-delivery S‘s nearby. Yellow didn’t quite seem to be a customer vehicle. We saw two yellow S’s on the line in production last April during a sneak Spring Break tour. They’re out there, but a bit ‘unicorny’ - can’t wait to catch one. 👍

Rivian R1T R1S 📬 Tons of "Confirm Your Configuration" emails have gone out tonight 1/6/23!!! 97E9019B-8F87-4742-A48F-5FA73C91988D

I’d like to nominate @COdogman for an early delivery…if you don’t mind Kim Java posing and filming a new cold weather efficiency review in your gear tunnel, I may have a lead…
Forget about Kim... I'd contact Kyle from Out of Spec. If you get in touch with Kyle by Monday.. you'd have your Rivian last week already ;)

When are they starting to roll out that new suspension? I would like to get mine with that updated suspension. My window is Q4’23 so hopeful I will get it by then. Those in the cutoff period are going to be pretty disappointed if they were the last R1’s with the old suspension. No pressure 😊
There is going to be no change to the current air suspension. The video that came out recently was describing the current air suspension. The manufacturer confirmed that there is nothing new in the works for Rivian at this time.

Too complicated at this time....

Or is this part of their process to provide new delivery windows this month? So I must add that my last estimate was 2024 (for a 2020 preorder), but now I received the "confirm your configuration" email and I have a guide assigned.

Should I be excited or did everyone get this, in which case this is another kick to the nuts by Rivian???
I am in the same boat, not sure what to think. I will get excited when I start the purchase process.

Same here. Nov. 2020 R1S preorder. We're in Alabama, and interestingly, still have Processing Estimate under delivery time. Hopefully it will update after talking to a guide.
