Greetings. I’m in Tallahassee. I’m confident we’ll be able to attend a test drive as the time nears for our purchase confirmation. Based on the numerous reviews, I am comfortable with progress on the quality of the build; albeit with expectations they’ll tighten-up the software side of things over the next few months.
I have looked extensively for something comparable to overland and I don’t think anything comes close when you consider it’s EV advantages. I’m a reservation holder from July ‘19. Am I disappointed I don’t have the truck yet? Yes. Am I concerned about my configuration excluding me from a rebate under the proposed legislation? Yes. But Rivian just gave me a huge gift of sorts by allowing us (who could) to participate in the IPO. That more than covers the rebate concerns and a bit more consideration towards my time and net cost to the truck. I’ve been patient this long and will continue to do so…even in the hinterlands of Florida. I trust that Rivian is focused on execution but, more importantly, in doing it right. My two cents.
Well said

received my generic email yesterday from Rivian and my delivery time is April- May 2022. Should I believe them?
No, you should not believe them. If I were you, I'd sell my pre-order while you can get some money for it. As a native Florida Man myself, I'll give you a cool $1k for it today :)

Stuart, FL here. Several weeks ago I contacted CS saying that I did not expect any deliveries to any areas that do not have service centers up and running. They had no news about any service centers in Florida. They did assure me that a service center is not needed for deliveries in any area, just a mobile service. The way things are going I do not expect any Florida delivers in 2022. Just a hunch.

My pre-order is for the R1T though I am not a truck type person nor do I plan to do much off roading. The R1S is just too big for my tastes. Current vehicle is a Mercedes GLA 250 which I really like but want to go EV. So, I am looking at other options with the Hyundai Iconic 5 as the most promising so far. I know there is ZERO comparison between a Rivian and a Hyundai but the Iconic 5 is pretty cool though not near as luxury. Still, it has 800V charging (18 min from 20% to 80%), near 300 mile range, Bose premium sound, heads up display and much better drive assist features with level 3 capability OTA when available, 2 yrs free charging at Electrify America, and NO subscriptions needed.

Just saying.
Let’s go Martin County! Bring a few of these out to Plant Bamboo

I am also April/May 2022 and saw one other Florida delivery with same dates. Good sign that a truck is planned to south Florida around same time period.
I'm in miami, with an August 2019 pre order, I also got the April/May email for delivery.

I would hate to sell it to you for $1k and then Rivian go and delay production for another 6-9 months. I would feel awful about that!

Did you get a LE? I’m also in Tallahassee, PreOreder in 5/20 R1S. I got to see an R1T at the Venice Hub last month while in LA.
another Tallahassee order, so there are at least 3 of us on here now. My email said March/April, but I’m jealous you’ve seen one in person. I’ve thought about making a run to LA since that’s the only option to see one inside and out at the moment.

Jax. R1S LE, delivery window July - September. I'd certainly like to see some activity with charging station permits and truck deliveries...

so just to update some, haven't checked in on the south FL (Miami) site in a while, will be checking this week, also have confirmed sittings of R1T in Ft. Myers area, and just today, another just south of Cooper City area ( sheridan street and palm ave) in Broward county.

EDIT: went today 1/20/22 to see if anything has been done or even started on the Miami service center site, and still nothing, no sign of any work. zero, zip, zilch, nada,

Met Matt the Orlando Delivery & Mobile Operations Manager Saturday. He was in Tampa during Gasparilla and I just happened to be walking by where he was parked. He took delivery in late December.

It was my first time seeing one -the Blue has more metallic than I thought and looks great.
They have mobile operations in Orlando up and running.

Rivian is planning on drive events in Florida in March.
