I know this is a long shot question but would love to hear other opinions….

It would be an interesting bit of news if It happened…

I doubt otherwise it would negate their email they sent out the other week unless they are trying to pull a fast one on us lol.

They’ve been pretty consistent with S starting two months later than T. I can’t imagine them changing that at this stage. Sorry!

I agree. They also stated they would deliver in large qty groups. So if Launch Green is the first group, why not do the R1T and R1S Launch Green first as the first batch. I guess that is wishful thinking. ?

Nowhere have they said anything about delivering in "large qty groups". They said configuration and location would be factors in the delivery schedule along with reservation date. People have deduced a lot from a simple statement, such as how many of one color they would produce before moving onto a different color. I stand by my assertion that there will be individual options that don't enter production until later, but general production will be a mix of all producible options and not groups of identical models.

The R1S pre-production prototypes started showing up a couple months after the R1T prototypes. This is the clearest indication of the staggering of the timeline. I'll take the 2 month delay, as back at the initial reveal it was sounding more like a 3-4 month delay.

May be they are trying to stick to "underpromise and over deliver" concept and deliver r1s as a surprise in June?

If that happened, it might be the end of the world like the movie "2012":CWL:

Wonder how rivian decides how to incorporate Amazon vehicles along with RiT/S production. I 've seen the Amazon vehicles in CA. Now I'd love to see the RiT/S

Completely separate production lines. Amazon is a good customer in addition to being an investor so they're going to meet those commitments without risk of production delays.

I would be surprised if they deliver R1S in August, my gut tells me to expect 1-2 months of additional delays.
