Has anyone gotten shop access WITHOUT a guide? I contacted CS and, like others, they noted my request for shop access. I don't have a guide though and am wondering if I should ask for one instead of shop access.

Sorry, I was so excited to see the inventory (I've been checking incessently every day for the last week) and knew that cars disappear within minutes, that I locked in a configuration I was okay with and lost access to the shop before I could take pics. Sent my short message to get the word out to everyone else so they can check.

With that said, I was able to capture details on what was posted in the shop for our region today. A total of 9 vehicles added (for total of 10 in the shop):
  • Launch edition, Glacier White, Forest Edge, 22" sport bright, tow hooks
  • Launch edition, El Cap, Black Mountain, 22" sport bright, tow hooks
  • Launch edition, El Cap, Ocean Coast + dark ash, 21" wheels, tow hooks, underbody shield
  • Launch edition, Rivian Blue, Ocean Coast + dark ash, 20" AT bright, tow hooks, underbody shield
  • Launch edition, Limestone, Forest Edge, 21" wheels, tow hooks, underbody shield
  • Launch edition, Limestone, Forest Edge, 20" AT wheels, tow hooks, underbody shield
  • Launch edition, Launch Green, Black Mountain, 22" sport bright, tow hooks (this is the one I snagged!)
  • Launch edition, Launch Green, Forest Edge, 21" wheels, tow hooks, underbody shield
  • Launch edition, Launch Green, Forest Edge, 22" sport bright, tow hooks, underbody shield (this is the one that has been there since last Tuesday)
  • Launch edition, Launch Green, Forest Edge, 22" sport bright, tow hooks.

I didn't have a guide before shop access. Received an email about shop access and then checked my account to see that a guide had been assigned. Didn't get an intro email from guide (or rather, automated email addressed from guide) until I confirmed my config in the shop today.

Speculation, but I don't think they're assigning guides until you have shop access, or until you're close to delivery for your config.

Awesome! Same here. VIN came in almost instantly and 8 steps opened up.

One slight disappointment: the VIN is for a 2022 model year (which has previously been documented on this forum). We're keeping the vehicle for a while so while I would have preferred 2023, it's not a show stopper for us. Plus, I was able to get a LE thorugh the shop whereas my previous config was not LE, so I figure the wheel upgrade helps offset the value difference between 2022 and 2023 when it comes time to sell/trade.

It seems like Chicago region is getting more frequently updated than other regions, at least not seeing much in SoCal! But I am super glad to see RB + OC combo...super excited and ready to click the button the moment I see in my shop!

That is disappointing on the model year but great you got a LE! I had to double check my VIN as I didn't even consider it could be either. Ours is a 2023 but with a cost - cursed VIN (has 666 in it). It already has started great as the State Farm website locks up when trying to replace a vehicle in my account.

Our VIN ends in 001596. Now that I'm reviewing other posts on this site, our VIN looks like a really early one. Should I conclude that this vehicle was produced pretty early on (the 1,596th R1S) and just sat around for a while, or was possible returned by someone else who didn't want it?

I got access a few hours ago. Must be the Brooklyn SC region that I see. 7 R1S, all LE, 1 RB, 1 FE, 1 El Crap, 1 LG, and 3 Limestone. All are LE. OC and FE are the dominant interior colors and a few have underbody shields. Dont see anything that will make me pull the trigger

We just put a deposit down on a R1S after having our R1T for a few weeks. The wait begins again, but watching deliveries to order holders helps the time go by. Congrats everyone!
