Mar-Apr window, LE R1T, LA Silver with Black Mountain, 20" AT's with Off-Road package. Pre-ordered Sept'19, Metro Detroit area hoping for option of picking it up in Normal.

I'll believe the delivery window when I drive away in my truck. Not holding my breath.....not any more.

I'm a March-April 2022 ETA as well... fingers crossed! (#3440, 12/7/2018, Launch Green, Black Mountain, North Seattle area)

Last night was a dreary PNW sort of night... super dark - and dark early, blustery, raining sideways, roads were absolute crap. At 8:45pm, I told my 16 year-old that it was a perfect time to go for a practice drive (still working on getting his license, and he's never experienced what it looks like to drive in a situation where your head lights are useless and the lines on the road are nonexistent).

We did a 5-6 mile loop and were taking the last right turn towards our house, when a set of lights at a Jack in the Box drive thru beamed brightly (super brightly) into the side window of our car. I turned to see what was emitting this blinding light. It was an R1T!

Other than my test-drive in November, I hadn't yet seen one driving in the wild. Now I have, at the local Jack-in-the-Box no less....!! ?

I'm honestly pleasantly surprised I've managed to avoid on in the area so far. If one shows up in my subdivision before I get mine, we might have a problem.

Being upset was my visceral first reaction.

I defensively assumed it was a (hungry) employee who was test driving and that made me feel better. Definitely a safer response than instructing my 16 year-old to go and stalk the person ordering food at a drive thru late in the evening. Though the thought went through my head for a second... but my kid already California-stopped a red light in the rain so I was just looking to get home and not die for the night.

Yeah, I received the March-April email as well. Very hopeful at this point.

El cap, Ocean coast, 22", deposit in Jan '19.

Finally drove by the Irvine, CA office a few days ago. The warehouse area was full of R1T's and seemed to be a lot of activity going on. It was cool to see. Also quite a few delivery vans in the parking lot. Sorry, no pics, but I'll make my way back up soon and try to get some.

March - April delivery estimate. Ordered 11/27/2018. R1S LE, LG, BM, 22's in La Crescenta. When I received the March - April estimate, I had Forest Green configured. I chatted with customer service, they said that the color change would change the estimate, but could not say if it would push it up, or delay it.

I said their website was confusing as it stated you could change colors, tires etc... without losing your place in line. They made note of it and said I was heard.

I'm hopefully I didn't mess up my delivery window by changing colors. We will see...

Oh man, I see them pretty frequently... and by "them" I mean the same Rivian Blue one they used for test drives (I think). Based on the number of times I've seen them I expect the Ballard / Phinney Ridge area will be covered in R1's a year from now:)

By chance you see a Red in the lot? It’s the last one I haven’t seen in person (minus limestone) and I’m not above peaking through their gate. ?

I'm in March-April too. LE R1T with Off Road package, kitchen, AT 20s (normal), reserved July 2019. Seattle.

I've already had my first drive (exact same configuration) so now I'm just counting days ?
