Was oct-dec 23, ordered 8\21 now jan-jun 24. 38 or do Miles from Bellevue SC Washington State
Very similar but in California. There are 3 service centers from where my order could be processed. There is a 4th service center coming up in the area and my order is delayed so it can be processed from the new location.
I exchanged emails with the customer support and pointed out that it seems like an oversight of their planning software/algorithm and hope it would be corrected.

I don’t think Rivian is doing this on purpose nor are they specifically targeting a group. However it is very clear to me that later orders are prioritized over me just because of my proximity to an upcoming service center.
It is unfortunate but Rivian customer service might still take notice of it and possibly correct it in the next go around.

At the end of the day it is just a car. I am not going to worry about it anymore.

Now that the new estimates are live, did your R1S estimate change and, if so, by how much?

For example mine was Feb-Mar 2023 and is now May-June 2023 so 2-3 months later for my reservation.

LE R1S RB BM 22” Bright 11/11/2020
Mine continues to be "Pending" -- ordered 12/20 R1S -- "Service center planning" excuse -- even though there are several R1Ts in the neighborhood.

For those that did get pushed back more than 3 months please add your config and distance to SC in the thread. That may help analysis patterns.

>3 mo. earlier here… R1S LAS, BM, UB shield, 20” AT. Pre-ordered 03/21. Estimated delivery was “2024”, now Jul-Sep 2023. 65 miles north of Phoenix Service Center. Don’t know that it made any difference, but FWIW I had support make a note in early January on my pre-order that I was willing to drive to the SC to pick up the car.

Same BS as before. We still don't have a date because Rivian Service Center bla bla bla. I am in Lakewood (Denver for anyone with a map), but apparently unless you list a Denver address you aren't in Denver. My brother ordered way after me and put an address in central Illinois and Lo And Behold he has a delivery date of Q3 this year! Our specs are nearly identical, his is green and mine is blue. The whole thing is a joke.

Its odd, I put down a deposit April 2022, and got an estimated delivery of April-June 2023 back in October. Now its saying March/April. So <12 months. Config is (intentionally) about as basic as they come. White/Quad motor/large pack, no tonneau, black interior. I did make a portion of the deposit non-refundable when we had that option too.

I am in MA and they have a service center a hour away with no traffic (with traffic the location will suck...)

Not sure how they figure things.

My R1S Adventure package went from "Still Processing" to "Still Processing."
And they are still using the lame argument that they do not have a SC in my state. I am in upstate South Carolina, and only 2 hours away from the Atlanta SC.
But they successfully shipped several R1T's last year, so....

It is so d@mn frustrating!!!

I exchanged emails with the customer support and pointed out that it seems like an oversight of their planning software/algorithm and hope it would be corrected.

I don’t think Rivian is doing this on purpose nor are they specifically targeting a group. However it is very clear to me that later orders are prioritized over me just because of my proximity to an upcoming service center.

How is it clear to you that your proximity to an upcoming SC is the sole/main contributing factor to your delay? As evident from this poll, some people got moved up, some moved back, but the majority stayed the same. To me, it’s clear Rivian is optimizing for production efficiency here. Consider that some people’s delivery expectations got screwed, but Rivian is now able to get more vehicles on the road.

Spec'd is a R1S, white, OC interior, 21 inch wheels. Was given 2024 as a deliver time last Fall. Was updated to July-December 2024 with latest update.

My delivery address is Arvada (same-ish as Lakewood) and I have a July-Sep that has not moved for quite some time so I don't think your delivery address is the whole story. I did order 8/20 which may or may not be earlier than you.
