Just received the email to confirm my config. Will be interesting to see how quickly things move now.

I emailed CS this week to note the contrast between Tony's comments and CS comments and ask if they can clarify what's happening with OC/FE. They didn't exactly directly address everything, but said as follows:

1) FE will begin this year (and I'm still "on track" for my Oct-Dec delivery)
2) OC will begin in 2023 (did not mention different dates for wood/vegan leather trim, though I mentioned this in my email)

Make of that what you will!

Excited, my Rivian R1S (VIN in the 900's) has shown up at the Irvine CA Service Center, exactly three weeks after I had my VIN assigned. Hopefully I'll be picking it up early next week.

Once you confirmed your configuration, how long did it take to get a VIN/8 steps?

From VIN to arrival at Service Center was three weeks. My confirmed configuration was done back in March. Long story … I used to have a reservation for both the R1T and R1S. I cancelled the R1T about a year ago. Rivian called to tell me that they had an R1T for me in March, realized it was a mistake, but got assigned a guide for my R1S, who locked my config.

Costa Mesa Service Center … lots of customer vehicles ready for delivery including some R1S’s

Thanks! My 8 steps just opened, VIN is 17XX.

Do we have any idea what the production rate for the R1S might be now? There are a good number of us with the Oct-Dec delivery period and with basically a week left in Oct we should start seeing a lot of us being contacted in short order

I’ve yet to see an LA silver R1S posted. No contact Im getting anxious about seeing mine by end year.

I am with ya! The R1S at the right is my exterior config, I did not get out of the car to take a closer look at interiors, I am assuming they were all BM interiors...
Maybe a good early Christmas or belated B-Day present for me if it comes in Nov.
We are like kids waiting for Santa to come?

My guide says my R1S is waiting to be loaded onto a train in Normal and gave me the official "4-6 weeks" until delivery estimate. He also told me they build the possibility of transportation delays, or service center tweaks or fixes, into that estimate, so if all goes smoothly delivery may happen sooner.

He also gave me a tip that I suspect many of us know by now but is worth repeating, as I'm hoping many more on this thread will have the 8 steps open up for them very soon: Try not to finalize financing, insurance and payment until the pre-delivery inspection at the service center is complete and the vehicle is cleared for delivery. Otherwise you may find yourself making car payments and paying insurance before any vehicle is delivered.

I sure hope so. I received the email from Rivian about PPF yesterday and on my watch it just read "Rivian" and I about lost it. Then I clicked on the email, read about ppf, and slumped back into that familiar state of anxious waiting...

We've been begging for more communication from them but every time I get an email that isn't "Your R1S is ready" it just makes me mad.
