I asked and got some reply about how I'd have to pay double taxes if I picked up in IL - in the end, there is a truck at my local service center so that's fine. The road trip would be nice, but the guide also indicated their would be "homecoming" type events in Normal at some point (I suggested that it would be cool to do homecoming events, and he said something like "yep we're definitely looking at that"Ah, yes. I also asked about going to Normal and was told I could, but it didn't work out on my end. I suspect it's a matter of how much effort the Guide wants to put in. Also, it can't be an option for everyone, so timing can be a factor too. For a lot of people, the vehicle has already left Normal before they even know it exists, so that's an easy explanation.
Quick update: my delivery is now scheduled for Monday.I'm in Austin. The purchase process opened up for me on Sunday! I'm just waiting to schedule my delivery.
For what it is worth, my guide has been super responsive throughout this process.

Thanks for the update. I'm on step 8. Waiting for the thumbs up. Glad to hear that it's speedy.Quick update: my delivery is now scheduled for Monday.
Congrats, dude!Took delivery on Saturday May 14th in ATX. Guide told me it came from Houston SC - arrived on a flatbed.
For those of us here in ATX - I highly suggest getting ceramic tint on the front two windows and windshield, as it cuts down not the cabin heat and you dont have to FULL blast the AC every time you hop in.
Whats your pre-order date? ...And stop stealing the Rivian Blue's from Houston! Im still waiting to hear anything on mine hahaLurker here. I’m flying to Houston (no trade) to pick up my Rivian Blue R1T on Friday. Didn’t want to wait for them to deliver to Spicewood next week.
You don’t want to know. I sat and watched Rivian for a long time thinking it was awesome but not affordable for me and the family. Circumstances changed and I reserved later than most I’m seeing here getting deliveries. I got really lucky somehow.Whats your pre-order date? ...And stop stealing the Rivian Blue's from Houston!

Well a quick google search and I found out haha. I'm assuming you have the 21's configured still? That seems to be the most popular early delivery at the moment. I didnt pre-order too much ahead of you if my source is to be believed (~5 months earlier). Either way congrats!You don’t want to know.

Congrats, and I totally feel ya in wanting to get it ASAP. Not sure if your screen name has anything to do with this, but I couldn't help but sing "it's a cold Lone Star in my hand" after reading it...Lurker here.
