Notice the date as the 12th? Also, I',m not sure about Rivian but I have a Porsche Cayenne EV on order and they assigned a VIN a month ago and that bastard hasn't been built yet! :mad:

The embedded Twit says posted at 3:00 PM. I don't know how embedded Twits deal with time, if it's "viewer's local" or "time zone of the poster" - but that means at worst it's four hours ago from the time of my reply here.

If it's New York (the poster's time zone,) then that was four hours ago. Four hours ago, it was 6:01 AM July 12 in the following time zones:
  • Solomon Islands
  • Vanuatu
  • New Caledonia
  • Federated States of Micronesia (specifically the states of Kosrae and Pohnpei)
  • Russia (specifically the Magadan Time zone, which includes Magadan and Sakhalin)
  • Australia (specifically Norfolk Island)
If Twit's embedding is my time zone, then it was only an hour ago, then the screenshot could have been taken by someone in:
  • China
  • Taiwan
  • Hong Kong & Macau
  • The Philippines
  • Singapore
  • Malaysia
  • Brunei
  • Australia (Specifically Western Australia, including Perth)
  • Indonesia (Central region, including Bali, Sulawesi, and East/South Kalimantan)
  • Mongolia (Most of the country, including Ulaanbaatar)
  • Russia (Irkutsk Time zone)

Sounds like a conspiracy to me. Only the flash could post in all those time zones at once.

I’m traveling in Asia right now so the tweet is showing my local time - it’s AM on 7/12 here.

Here's my interesting anecdote. I asked service if I could order an R2 suspension part this week. Their system said there were 1100+ at Normal and none anywhere else, and it would have been backordered if I had them order one.

LOL , that is me. I’m glad someone above clarified the date and time as I am not a time traveler.

Received the update for my VIN around 2pm PST.

To clarify my Twitter handle states NY as I’ve had that account since 2008 and primarily used it to consume content. I now reside in AZ.
