Does any know if Rivian has delivered any vehicles with the Camp Kitchen?

If not, do we know if Rivian is giving customers an option to take delivery of the vehicle without the Camp Kitchen [to be delivered later], or are customers with Camp Kitchen pushed to back in the line for now?

I am wondering the same. I have a March - April delivery with Camp Kitchen. I already have a buyer interested in my F150 Raptor. Would hate for my delivery to be delayed because of the kitchen. And I just got an e-mail about the Raptor Bronco - which I've been anticipating with glee for years. Trying to convince the wife she needs an R1T or a Raptor Bronco - so I can drive both :)

It is not uncommon for a vehicle’s accessories to be delivered after the vehicle itself, which apppears to be the case here

At least to employees, they just have been delivering without it to be installed at later date.

have you asked rivian about when the camp kitchen would arrive? Curious what they might tell you.

The Rivian rep on my test drive back in November told me that there were (at the time) only five functioning camp kitchens currently in existence, and that the earlier trucks will be delivered without it, to be added on by the service center later

I wonder how long this is going to be true. Is the gear shuttle installed but the kitchen is delayed?

Would they charge us the full amount (truck + kitchen) and deliver later? That would not be ideal. I would rather keep the $5k in my pocket and not pay for it in advance.

I didn’t ask about that specifically, so not sure ?‍♂. But the truck I test drove didn’t have the shuttle in it either, so do with that info as you will

I'd prefer the OEM kitchen stuff since they'll include the warranty, but If I wasn't guaranteed to get the kitchen by summer time if my april/may timeline stays on track, I'll probably end up the DIY route instead.

Accessories had no correlation with the original LE delivery windows.

We'll see in the next few weeks when they rerun the production schedule.

Yeah, I'd rather not be financing something I can't actually use upon delivery...who knows how long it might take to receive it on "Rivian" time. :CWL:

Unpopular opinion alert - the kitchen is a way overpriced toy, and eliminates one of the R1T's best features - the gear tunnel. I bought an electric hotplate at Walmart for less than $20 and it takes up much less space and plugs right into the bed. I can bring my own small table, plates and stuff, and a jug of water. This truck as plenty of coolness already without me having to drop $5k just to get that "wow" factor from my friends. Also, I prefer grilling so I would have my Weber Q grill with me anyway.
