R1S on wrong train? VIN 1187 Experiment

[tjaco007]

Long story short, I had a VIN assigned with 8 steps completed and vehicle in-transit for the last 10 days. As I was pulling into the service center to see if it had arrived, my guide texted me that my VIN had been unassigned, though couldn't tell me why. The service center said they haven't received any Rivians recently because transit mode had shifted from truck to rail. I was told I'll have to start over and wait for a new VIN to be assigned.

I could get super frustrated about the process, but at the end of the day there's nothing I can do about it. So I might as well have fun and try to figure out who got my R1S!

Based on all the evidence, I'm fairly confident they must have put my R1S on the wrong train, and after realizing it wasn't headed to Salt Lake City, decided to assign it to someone in California (or wherever that train ended up going). So with that said, has anyone recently been assigned VIN 1187? El Cap, BM interior, 20" AT with no underbody.

As a small consolation prize would love to at least solve the mystery. Also open to other theories on where it went.

PLEEEASE DON"T TELL ME THAT... I've had a rather bumpy start to my ordering process but now have a a VIN and didn't contemplate that it could be "pulled" from me!

Or it got broken when the loaded it onto the train. Maybe it fell out of the train car or something?

Let the experiment begin!

Most likely assigned to a 2020 reservation holder.​

As I said in my other post, my VIN got reassigned too, here in CA waiting on word from the rep. Didn't receive your VIN number and my original VIN was in the 11xx also.

Yeah sounds like they were able to match you with another VIN that fit your configuration. Great news on your end.

My guide said the rematch should be a quick turnaround. Not exactly sure what that means but will see.

Hoping they have other vehicles in transit that I can be matches to without waiting for them to build mine again in Normal. I told my guide I'm open to discussing other configurations.

Lets hope this is good news as the newly assigned VIN is a lot higher than 11xx. Hoping they don't hold you up either, receiving your LE should be top priority for them being 2018 holder!
