Yes, I've seen people on this forum with delivery windows and order dates past me, but had OC interiors, stating they were contacted and offered a switch to BM. I'd have to go digging to find who they were, I didn't take notes.
I have not seen someone with a November 2020 reservation date say they have talked with a guide. I would also be highly suspect of that, and nearly everyone on this forum would be up in arms.
Just done chatting with customer support, my R1S has estimated delivery date of June/July 2022 with Ocean Coast. Customer support said my R1S delivery estimation is based on Ocean Coast option and there is no change due to my choiceI put down $2000 for an R1T and R1S on November 27th of 2018 and finally got a Rivian Guide to reach out to me. Talked to them yesterday and they reached out to me specifically because I selected the Ocean Coast interior they wanted me to know that unless I change to the Black Mountain it may be another 6 months to a year of waiting. He really could not lock down that timeframe. So I changed to the Black Mountain interior option with the Rivian Blue. Honestly disappointed but will put up with it. I wanted the lighter interior as where I live in San Diego the summers can get very hot, will be cooling down the truck from their app a LOT!
Now I am told it will be 1st or 2nd week of April to take delivery so that is AMAZING news!
I also ordered the camp kitchen, turns out those don't exist. As in outside a few demo units they do not exist. The guide has never seen one in person. Also there are zero reviews of them online from anyone but Rivian. I was promised a price lock for $5k on that when they become available. Attaching newest spec sheet.
Maybe they’re going in order based on personality or CS contact experience… jk!
One of our own has this, and I’ve seen plenty of others close in Fall 2020.
The preorder process for launch editions took place in November 2020, even if you placed a deposit earlier. this doesn’t clarify when the initial deposit was placed.
I think they were pretty clear. Even ignoring that, plenty of July and Aug 2020 people with guide contacts in that thread by just scanning a few pages.
Had the same conversation yesterday with my guide so I also switched to black interior, also looks like I should be taking delivery in April as well.

Totally agree. Rivian needs a professional staff to manage their communication and pre-orders for them. It looks as if pre-orderers are being contacted randomly not according to their order dates. If there is shortage of anything which may affect many customers, then why not let everybody know so they can adjust their configuration? Thanks to our members, we are learning a lot about what’s going on, not from Rivian, and it’s beyond frustrating at this point.
I am kind of hoping that they were able to figure out which order is yours and just purposefully holding it back based on the way you treat people.
Luckily for me, the world doesn't work according to your whims
