Perhaps they are waiting on an offer of hearty donuts, hearty cooties, and a fancy handshake?
They replied this morning. Rivian CS is very classy.

Hi Matt,

While I think this is the most attractive offer that has ever been made to Rivian customer service, it, unfortunately, will not exchange for R1 Shop access at this time. This offer is good for a special surprise coming to a mailbox near you!


Whoever comes up with the best reply will be sent in response to the above. Lol. But preferably do not mention anything that they said as that has been my style for this whole email chain, just completely ignore what they say while escalating the offer.

Tell them: Luckily my local Post Office has oversized mail boxes that would fit a R1T perfectly. I am upping my offer to a coupon for a Super Cuts hair cut (optional eyebrow trim included), 3 (yes three!) day passes to Urban Warfare Paintball, and will do an Adopt a Zoo Animal from Miller Park Zoo in Rivian's name (the Red Pandas are super cute). Thanks in advance and I will be checking the oversized mail box daily.

Exactly the same situation here. I doubt there will be an ocean coast in the store, but we'll see....
Mine came from the Shop, Launch Green with OC.

My offer will not only include donuts, a firm handshake, and lunch of your choice, but I will also include a deluxe Johnny Cash cassette tape with A and B sides including all his major hits sung by me. Now, I realize this collectors edition mixtape may not be from Nashville itself, but my personal touch and singing in the backdrop will surely impress your peers, friends, and family.

If that wasn’t enough, I will also send your team a card each year tallying various metrics such as how many times people ask me questions like, “what is that?” “How far can you go?” “How far can you tow a trailer?” “That’s electric?” As well as including a tally for all the sports cars drivers that cried after losing a drag strip race to my 7k+ pound truck.

I can coordinate these efforts immediately provided you grant me the access to the R1 shop. I would most graciously accept your willingness to coordinate this for me at your earliest convenience.

So how's the R1T shop inventory looking these days? I "heard" that they dumped a bunch in there very recently but no real details on qtys or configs. Trying to live vicariously through those that have access while I impatiently wait.

Rivian showed 35 last week in the LA area last week and then it went to zero inventory overnight. I logged it today and the now shows 8 to choose from.

I thought I saw Limestone OC 20" at the last big drop, or were they not 20"s?

Is there an R1 shop for Denver area?

And is Rivian still dropping trucks to the R1 Shop?

Us without access think of the shop like Heaven...Is it real? How does one get in? Will the fluffy clouds be Ocean Coast?

What / who do I have to do to get invited to the shop? Located in NY, does that make any difference?

Most common: have an early deposit date (2019, 2020...a few with 2021 dates have gotten access, but not a ton). Have a good location (NY should be fine). If you have a guide, you can ask them to see if they can get you access. That seems hit or miss. Nobody really knows exactly how to get shop access. It is an enigma.

Early deposit date means nothing unless you have a good location. My deposit date is November 28, 2018, and I cannot get an invitation into the R1 Shop.
