Not sure either, but here are a few thoughts.

When they say batching, what do they base it on? I initially thought similar configurations, and maybe that is true ,but what do they consider in the config? Exterior color only, or tires, or internal, or ADV vs LE? Maybe things are batched by delivery region, or order date (doubtful on order date).

Another thing is our new range should be interpreted as September 2023, which could be the last week in September, and maybe your's is delivered in early October.

God knows their batch and production plans....and delivery plans
It wouldn’t be completely surprising if they’re grouping batches as well to drive efficiency into their supply chain. LAS seems to be lower priority than LG, Limestone, ECG. But perhaps they’re running 2-3 consecutive batches and you’re just in a later one… Congrats on moving up! That said, we all still have plenty of time to be disappointed before Q3/Q4…

EDIT: I have a friend who ordered on the exact same day. He lives 5 miles from me equidistant to the SC. Limestone/BM/22” darks, UBS, PPF. He got moved up to Mar-Apr. 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you mean that priority = cost effective, then absolutely.

The colors you've listed are far more popular than silver. Since they only have one paint shop, it makes a lot of sense to do as much of the same color at a time.

Frankly, I don't know why Rivian offered 9 different colors as they are starting to mfg for the first time. If they had 4~5 colors, the ramp up would have been easier and faster.

LOL, I actually thought of that shortly after the update - this has the potential to change at least twice before I hit hte delivery window. Each time is a time it could roll-back :(

That's exactly why I am not too excited about the new delivery estimate. There are still plenty of opportunities for it to slip. In my own mind, I am still anticipating some time in 2024. As long as that doesn't become 2025, I won't get too upset.

I suspect you’ll get yours before I get mine. Still at the factory on the 30th

I will!! I noticed a friend of mine that just got his granite R1S waiting to pick up his daughter from carpool and I slowly drove by analyzing it and hoping he didn’t notice me stalking when I got home I checked my WhatsApp and he messaged me “Yours is coming soon” so embarrassing!!

Guide responded to my status request informing me that my vehicle is at SC and being staged for predelivery QC inspection. Not sure if I'm more excited to see a LA Silver R1S in the wild or buying it!! But I will miss my pass time for the last 4 years

No delivery schedule email yet! Is Brooklyn backed up or did mine get rejected?

Would anyone change their color to White to move up 3 months or 6 months?
