R1S Shop access live with lots of inventory!

[Tarkus]

Had a nice First Drive in Atlanta today. The Service Center was very busy with lots of test drives happening and several people dropping off or picking up their own R1 for service. Wife thought the R1S was very nice, comfortable to drive, but a little tricky getting in and out. Definitely gonna need running boards. First time seeing Forest Edge in person, and Rivian really does need to update their configurator/look book. The photos from owners are much more accurate, as has been noted many times on here. But this isn't the thread for all that.

During the drive I mentioned not being set on a particular configuration and having heard about the R1S and really hoping to get access to that sooner than later since my current car's getting older. No real reaction or response to any of that from the guide. As he was wrapping up everything back at the SC, he asked if I had any questions. I asked if there was any chance I could get R1S Shop access soon. He said, "I guess we'll see." Doesn't sound super promising for me to get access in the near future. Oh well. Worth a shot! Wanted to do a 2nd drive anyway.

Glad you & your wife liked the R1S. Based on my (2nd) Frist Drive this past Thursday (they invited me), I went ahead and changed back to FE interior & 21" Tires to keep $80k & get the tax write off later (amended tax return & signed agreement with Rivian last Aug). I never did get R1Shop access, oh well...

Staff or manager must have tightened down putting people on the request list. Ah well. Hope Shop access shows up for you soon!

Can someone with access to the shop post some screen shots. Curious if different between west coast and east coast too. Thanks.

Why is the pre-order pricing for underbody shield, $1700 but the shop shows $2000

Under shield pricing is different for adventure versus launch edition. Pricing is based off the trim of the vehicle in question, not what you ordered.

I see a big pile just posted to the shop.

Thanks for posting. Curious, are you on the east or west side of the US? Now if I can just get Rivian to fix the glitch on my account that has messed up my access. “404” link error message that they seem to be having difficulty fixing for the past week. Ugh!

LET'S FRICKIN' GOOOOOO!!! I saw that big dump of R1S' around 11a PT today and jumped on the first one in my list, which was my config, but with the added "bonus" of a LE, as well as underbody shield. I was originally just an Adventure Pkg no LE, so the wheel upgrade was included, but the shield was extra...so those costs balanced each other out. All-in-all, it was basically right on the money as far as my config is concerned, AAAND, it's the same price as what I had, so that's a win-win. Wanted to stay under $80k even though I signed the August agreement, but wasn't taking any chances with the finicky IRS and their constant 'clarifications'. VIN is 2023-93xx!!! She must have just rolled off the line!!! See my sig for my config...

Thanks to all those that posted the last few months, you helped me a great deal in strategy and tactics to get this. Ultimately, what worked for me, was I initially asked my Guide for Shop access (which was initially a dead-end), then went on an R1S test drive on 4/20/23 that I was invited to. During and after the test drive, I asked multiple reps for access, then I asked my Guide again last week 5/1/23...and access was granted the next day. The shop had been empty 99% of the time until this morning when they dropped a ton! Now I'm in the 8-step process!

I grabbed a launch edition, launch green, BM with bright 22s!

Much different than LA Silver that I had ordered!

There were about 25 available, lots of OC interior. I’m set for factory pickup.

I am about half way between the coasts.

My current theory based on the screenshots people have shared, is that everyone sees the vehicles in Normal, and then once a vehicle has left Normal, only people assigned to the service center where the vehicle is located can see it. .

Congrats to those who scored on this latest stock! Lots of great configs to choose from. I would be all over that Launch RB with 20s if I had shop access.

Correct, confirmed with my 1st guide.
