I actually disagree. Not to be a turd, but if you put a bill in the mail, most locations (all in the U.S.?) use the date it was postmarked, not the date it was received. If Rivian gets a truck out the factory door and onto a train 7/31, they (and I) may say deliveries started in July. However, the delivery wouldn't be fulfilled until sometime in August.

When they say they're starting deliveries in a month, I have actually been assuming they mean they're leaving the factor that month. Not necessarily in the customer's hands.

And no, not a politician or lawyer.
Ok that makes sense....
Just one more thing, so it's not the definition of "deliveries" I feel ran afoul but the definition of "beginning". My simple mind assumed assumed beginning deliveries meant something meaningful to customers now I understand that Rivian made this announcement but didn't intend for it to construed to mean anything impactful to customers.
I will keep this in mind for future announcements.

I'd play a drinking game with my Guide, take a shot everytime someone says "soon" during the call
Better make sure your guide call is late afternoon & that you don't have anything to do the next day!

My option is that the statement was intentionally put out with full knowledge there could be various interpretations of it. It’s not the first time.

Same can be said about Canyon Red.
Not quite. Canyon Red, like most of the colors, is an extra $1500. Only blue and yellow are an extra $2500. And only silver and white are no extra charge.

@AdamL did your happen to ask your guide for clarification on increased charging speed? I'm guessing you decided not to, but figured I'd checks back and check.

Teeeechnically the website says it is, so it may not be a total waste to see if they can clear up what it means (doubt it, but ?‍♂).

I did, but I got the same non-committal answer we are used to...

Ugh, I really hoped I would be in the initial batch but doesn't look like it. I too am within 10 miles of Bellevue WA but my pre-order date was 10/30/2018 and I think I am closer to pre-order 3000. I think it was 28XX.
How were you able to place your order in Oct when I believe the the first orders were taken on Nov 26th, 2018? Did you have insider knowledge?

I really love the yellow and would buy it in a second, but unfortunately it's one notch below the Cybertruck on the wife's "don't you dare" list ?
Yeah I really like the "Baby Puke Yellow" but my wife also said it's the ugliest color.

I asked about Warn winches, and whether or not Rivian was in discussions with Warn on Rivian-specific or Rivian-optimized winches. She did not know but promised to follow up with the relevant in-house experts.

Hey Kialoa et al - I just spoke at length with Rivian CS, told them several order holders including some that did NOT order the LE have had conversations with their Guides. I referred him to this forum, and he spoke with several other guides. Called me back, he said there is no way this is true, that only LE holders are getting calls, and the only way a non-LE holder would get a call is if they changed their order to a different version.

Not looking to accuse or imply anything here, just trying to get clarification . As an LE order holder from 1/2018 I'm a bit peeved if non-LE holders are getting calls before I am.

Any details on order numbers and color schemes that have had Guide calls would be much appreciated.

cheers.
