Frustrating that we don't have much info. Not sure what Rivian is trying to gain with this approach. I don't want to see any more helicopter shots of the car in a desert. I want to see close up videos of something that I will drop 80k on .

I'll be damned if I didn't get four of those extended warranty calls yesterday alone. One was while sitting naked in my Dermatolgist's office. Awkward, but she understood.....

I am super optimistic that deliveries will begin in June. We are less than a month away from that promise and I feel it is too late to announce a delay.

I've been through delayed product launches on the company side, there is a certain balancing act between announcing your delay too early and risking cancelled orders with announcing your delay too late and having very angry customers. I believe we have eclipsed that window of opportunity that Rivian had to announce a delay.
Fellow Irishman who is always optimistic! Better way of life honestly.

It’s 1:38am!! I have been waiting (im)patiently since November 26, 2018! And now.......a day.......a week......very soon.....any time now.....(and no, I am sure I am not becoming neurotic waiting) the big email/personal call telling me “It’s your turn! Thanks for waiting!”

Bring it on, RJ and the Guides! Flood us with information! We are ready!
Rivi-on!

Officially 146 hours and 11 minutes of May lost forever waiting with the phone fully charged, the ringer on high, all vibration messaging on high, and ALL RIVIAN phone numbers set to the ringtone of Iron Butterfly's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida cranked all the way up.

RJ: MAKE. THE. CALL.?

I like the extending tailgate which increases the effective bed size.

Until your Guide connects with you, all calls you fail to answer put you at risk of having to wait longer for your Rivian. Even if it turns out to be an ex calling to explain why dumping you caused her Tourette's syndrome to flare up, it may be worth the time to answer all incoming calls.

On the other hand, should you miss the call from your Guide, the rest of us may move up one slot. I guess the choice is yours....

As this month drags on, a thought occurred to me. If it's true that good things come to those who wait, these Rivians are going to be great!

Now, if my phone would just ring with a call from area code 309.....

This seems oddly specific.
By the way have you applied for the event coordinator roll, you seem like a shoe in. Rumor is they are offering a $1000/ month incentive for 24 months for employees who purchase a R1.
