R1S Delivery today: Quick Summary

[Zoidz]

No, a model year 2023 can be made from January 2022. Typically you will see in the fall models for the new year. The best way to check build date (not model year) is with the sticker on the door and that gives the month and year.

Agree. I took delivery of a 2004 BMW 330cic in March of 2003.

They reset the R1S count for 2023, so 3,700 already for 2023 is a huge number. I took delivery a month ago and was number 220 or so.

The ramp is real

I added the manufacture date of 1/23 to the original post along with my Black Mount/Dark Ash interior. No the back of headrest is black plastic not wood. Doesn’t really matter to me like the clean slate look of it actually.

Cangrats! That is a nice looking truck right there.

For the T yes based on my experience switching vehicles but if the VIN is 3700 with a January build date then that is amazing. Especially given they weee shut for a few days in early January for updates and built Ts too. They were averaging around 4000 for December. Will be interesting to hear their retainer for 2023 at the quarterly call in late February.

Took delivery today of our R1S. Quick summary:

1. Getting to the Brooklyn service center from NJ was a bitch. Don't think I ever want to do that drive again, so let's hope the Edison service center gets up and running smoothly.
2. Sales process: The 8 steps went super smooth, getting delivery went just the same and was super quick. Having watched 100s of videos on 'How to' in the Rivian and going for a test drive 2 weeks ago, I didn't need much help. Vehicle stickers says 1/23 manufacturing date, with a 3700 VIN.
3. Exterior condition: No issues I could fine, the paint looked perfect. My main complaint is they washed it yesterday and left it outside overnight. That area in Brooklyn has way to much dust and air pollution that the car got a quick bath once it came home. Needed it badly
4. Interior: Not a single issue to be found. Yes the phone charger is annoying as all hell but there are solves for it, so that will get taken care of. Black Mountain interior with Dark ash wood
5. Driving: After battling traffic for 30 minutes finally hit the highway and all I can say is wow. Handling is great, power amazing, driver+ worked well. We recently picked up a I4M50 and the R1S performance is the same and that is saying a lot.
6. Infotainment: So here is where I get annoyed. The phone interface is from 2002, while Spotify works great just give us CarPlay/AA already. I have not heard one single good argument to keep these features from us.
7. Garage fit: I wasn’t worried at all until i got it home. Damn that is tight but it does fit. Much bigger than I imagined.
8. Car Wash mode: I mentioned it was dirty, so I took it to a self wash place, put it in car wash mode, left all my stuff in the car and did the quick wash. Turned around and noticed the handles were not sticking out, gently pushed and freaked out ‘Holy I am locked out’, no moron just push harder. Fun morning

All and all thrilled and excited to drive this for the foreseeable future.

Interesting. Mfg date 12/23 low 3000s vin. Took delivery 1/28. Yes NJ to Brooklyn is one of the worst drives in the universe. Once took me 2 hours to go like 17 miles. Two river crossings.

The right combination of fun and utility i4M50 + R1S.
Finally starting to see those FG with the 22s !

I used to live in North Jersey and the trip to Brooklyn is very painful, but at least the tolls make it expensive.

The tris to Brooklyn from Queens sucks, NJ is horrific.

Psst, the temp tags are so tiny that toll cameras are not picking it up. I drove without ezpass for 3 months before they expired and got 0 tolls/violations from NJ/NY/CT/PA. Just be careful deep west on PA turnpike, they still got tolls booths with gates.

Where in NJ are you? I'm in 08816, got FG R1T.

 

[JerseyGreens]

08807 over here. R1S en route

 

[Rgrin]

Look at 10th digit of VIN. "N" means 2022, "P" means 2023.

My LA Silver R1S is at the Brooklyn SC pre inspection. How long till it’s ready for pickup? They won’t deliver to 5Towns

5 days at most.

What interior do you have? I'm hoping my forest edge interior has the wood around the headrests...

I just received my 1/23 BuildR1S last week, in Arizona, and was told it was the first they had seen with Forest Edge interior.

What exactly are you looking for in regards to the head rests, and I’ll try to send pics.

Here are a couple random pics in the meantime.

Best regards,
