There will be a lot of miles covered here:

First, I have been off this forum for a while. Even though I had an 11/19 order, electing for an Explorer Max battery resulted in a 1st half 2023 delivery. Figured no sense in constant reminders that I won’t have a truck anytime soon, and much of what I would learn would be outdated by mid (late?) 2023 anyway.

Well, I recently received a bad medical diagnosis, so when I received an email for a delivery in 6-8 weeks if I changed spec to an existing build, I figured why not. I changed to Adventure Large (regular) battery.

Within a week, I received a text saying my truck arrived in the Dallas temporary delivery center and I could take delivery within a week. So much for 6-8 weeks, but I’m not going to complain about getting it quicker than expected. I;’ll actually have to wait another week due to previously scheduled travel.

Are any of these experiences common or very unusual?

Since I’ve been off the forum for about 4 months, anything I should especially look out for or expect at the delivery? I am reading the forums, but have about 3 weeks of reading to catch up so your patience and tips are very much appreciated.

I am assuming that this was a build that the original buyer cancelled, but I don’t have any confirmation of this. I am hoping it is not a demo of one type or another. I was told that it is new off the truck, and I am the first buyer on this vehicle, what ever that means.

Thanks for your tips and suggestions.

They are batch-building. I proactively changed my config to match what I knew was rolling off the assembly line and got an immediate match and VIN assignment...

"Large" battery, four-motor, 20" wheels, black interior, Adventure pack, add the deleted-from-standard power tonneau cover back on.

If certain options like a light interior or AT tires are a must for someone, no worries, just be prepared to wait some additional months.

May be an unmatched vehicle, but sounds like it'll a new vehicle. Congrats on getting delivery. Sorry about the diagnosis. Pray for the best and enjoy the rivian once you get it.
