@OP: Congratulations!

Is this a 5 or 7 seater? If it's a seven and you have a minute, I am desperately looking for a pic showing how big the trunk is with only the 3rd row seats folded down.

Enjoy your new car!

I really wanted to know the same. I found this review very useful:

https://www.thedrive.com/news/we-me...s-cargo-storage-to-determine-its-usable-space

They measured everything, then used those measurements to draw in their photos the biggest-volume "solid box" that could be put into the space without tearing up the interior.

Bottom-lines:
1. In 5-seat mode, you get a volume that's 42.5 inches wide, 28 inches tall, and 41 inches deep.
2. No, your 32-gallon Rubbermaid trash cans will not stand upright in the back for a dump run.
3. Yes, your new LG 5.0 cu. ft. Large Capacity High Efficiency Stackable Smart Front Load Washer with TurboWash360 and Steam in Black Steel will fit, but you'll have to take it out of the shipping box and lay it on its side.

What the royal F.
I can understand some out-of-sequence … but Oct '20 is most of two years after "day one" orders.
(I don't count my day one order because I've already spoken with a guide and chose the tbd Mega Pack.)

Day 2 order here. I've spoken to no one. Gotten only the blast emails. The one in July said 1H 2023.
But that's my fault for ordering Explorer, not Launch Edition. Didn't see the pandemic/supply chain thing coming. Or the demise of Explorer anyway. Adventure, to me, is $5500 for a better stereo and a hope of 2022 delivery that looks like it won't happen.

Oh, and tow hooks. Those are kinda cool. (Actually looking forward to the tow hitch for the ability to attach a bike rack/BBQ. This'll be good for beach trips and tailgates.)

Congrats to mbooie and the other imminent deliverees. Enjoy!!

You didn't miss anything helpful by not contacting Customer Service. I emailed CS 3 times in the first 6 months of 2022, asking when I would get a delivery window. I gave up and stopped asking when I got the response shown in my signature.

I'm less persistent -- I only emailed them once. Roughly the same result. I didn't count that as individualized communication, since I initiated it and no useful information was provided.

I see others with Guides, and in my head I hear, "Pretty women are walkin' with gorillas down my street ...."

@Ccomtois - I was also assigned Mark E as my guide. How was your experience working with him? Responsive?

Never mind. I mis-read the thread on my phone and responded to myself.... I'm just a little bit excited.

Thanks - this was totally a mess up on my part because I was viewing the thread on my phone and didn't see I was actually replying to myself. I've actually sat in my config at the Venice Hub back in July so I'm more than a little bit anxious. We need to get a Front Range R1S group together in addition to the general Rivian groups.

Nice! Super happy for you and @Ccomtois ! We're still waiting news on ours, but given we went with Blue, we know we're later in line than the Green. Would love to see one in person if either of you have a couple of minutes.

Absolutely. I am already planning to take an afternoon off work once I get mine and sit in a parking lot for people to come by and look at it. I'll be posting here on the forums when I do it.

You sir, would be a hero to a few folks on this forum when you do!

Beautiful....let the adventures begin.....or Costco runs...maybe Trader Joe's

We feel incredibly lucky and I almost hate to post this. October 2020. I think we just had the exact configuration they have been making and live not too far from a service center.

Can you give an idea of the configuration?

Wow. Congratulations! I ordered a year earlier to the month. My delivery window runs Oct - Dec so fingers crossed. I live in CT in the NYC metro area. Closest SC is Brooklyn.

If you are ever in northern Colorado front range area, let me know. We would be happy to have you take a look.
