Wow! That makes "End of the month" actually sound possible! o_O

No! Nope! No way! I am NOT going to get overly excited yet! Nope! Not gonna do it!

Haha! It’s definitely possible if you’re willing to pick up at a service center— depending on where in CT you are, both Brooklyn and Boston are online and cranking away now. It sounds like, from some other posts, Compass Yellows are coming up s00n… Good luck! (I didn’t see any yellows at Boston yesterday when I picked up)

There are enough forum members enjoying their Rivian now who've lived the full-cycle from that initial Guide assignment to the joy of true Rivian ownership. And we know more than a few endured bumps in that journey. Set the voting limit to two choices for those who had a firm delivery date commitment and then unfortunate circumstances that delayed final delivery. The idea being they can vote for a value representing original expectation and again for the final outcome, if they so choose.

Kept the choices reasonable instead of trying to parse it down to blocks of days. for those like me in the midst of this process, it will still be insightful to have some clue what the community is experiencing. Thanks for your participation.
Guide contact 4/27, said vehicle in production 4/29. No delivery estimate at all. It's been 3 weeks.

Rivian's teasing me... 7 of 8 steps finished in one session (about an hour since I read docs)

You’ve got a vin now… you should send your guide a message and ask about the current location of your truck and whether they have an ETA for it to arrive at your local SC

If your experience is similar to mine, it needs to get to your SC, go through two PDIs, then you’ll get a text from the SC delivery coordinator

Let's see, got a notification of guide contact on a Sunday evening (!), confirmed my config was good via text, opened up the 8 steps that night. Completed the 8 steps by Tuesday, and was told it was at the SC and could be picked up if I wanted to fly out there and drive it back, or it would be ~5-10 days for it to be delivered. So, if I had been willing to fly, 3 days. If not, looks like I'm at 10-15 days.

TL;DR -- if you can't pick up at the SC, the "timeline" will be an extra 5-10 days long while they schedule the delivery.

I had my Intro call and signed the PBA on 5/16 (this past Monday) and was told I might take delivery by the end of the month :surprised: or definitely before the end of June. I'll fill out the poll once I have the truck.

It looks like we have identical configurations! I signed the PBA on Thursday 5/12 and similar timing expectations, but am lucky enough to be in the range for factory pickup. I think we've chosen well on the color!

So my Guide intro call was 4/28/22 and as of 5/16/22 I was told by my guide that I am paired to a VIN on the back end of the system and my VIN is showing in production (On the line being assembled) no estimated time of how long that takes and or where in the process it is but on the line none the less. No estimated timeline of delivery at this point was given.

Well, I got a call and email formally canceling my Monday del. appt but was assured its only because of a late departure of the transport from IL to CA. Told that I will be contacted "early next week" once it arrives, checked out for transit condition and final PDI'd.

So hoping for Tues/Wed now. 🍿

I have a similar experience. 4/22/22 call with my Guide and as of last night when I followed up on my order status, I was told, "... your vehicle is still in production. I would imagine it should be nearing its end or maybe had been slowed because of a quality check. I wish I had more visibility but I will keep trying to check its status.". I was originally told 4-8 weeks after I ordered it. It "went into production in General Assembly" on 5/10. I have not been given any other information.

It's frustrating when you read about all of the people getting vehicles much quicker and given more options, but at this point it is what it is. I hope.... that there will be less problems with the R1T when I receive it, finally.

Mine will be two weeks.

I know there are issues, but a mistake I think some people are making (POST VIN) is moving slow on their side. I completed the 8 steps including payment within 10 minutes. I’ve never done a phone call with anyone, including my guide - online and text only. My portion of the process is instant.

I see people saying they are skipping steps, have an insurance call next week, etc. make Rivians and your guide’s life easy. Be their favorite because you're not annoying and respect their time.

When you need to fill up a delivery truck, whose truck goes on it? The person that did 5 steps but has no insurance and hasn’t paid or to the person that has completed 7 steps, paid and is just waiting delivery?

Pre VIN I think it's just luck - are they making a batch that matches yours or is that in 2,3,4 weeks. 4 weeks ago it was black mountain. The last 2 I'm pretty sure it's been forest edge, now I suspect we are back to black mountain again.

Just my 2 cents.
Not my experience. I had a VIN abs delivery date after only doing the first two steps (i had no trade in). i still haven't done financing and payment.
