Assuming you also configured Launch Edition, R1S deliveries are currently expected to start in August 2021 and complete by Spring 2022. You won't know anything more specific than that until your Guide contacts you later this year.

Seems like color/location is more important than reservation date.

Reservation date is clearly important, but requires you to be in the targeted location with the first build. You haven't seen anyone with a 20,000+ order number saying they've been contacted. The company has stated what they're doing and it seems to be the case. It's likely there are other variables we won't know about. As has been the case, it's just a matter of time till your number is called.

Location definitely for now until more service centers are readied. I think we will learn more on how color plays into priority in the coming weeks as more customers are contacted by guides. I would imagine they will be doing builds of several combinations to have vehicles ready for the August events.

Agreed, but there will always be early reservations holders hours away from any current or planned service centers.

On Wednesday. Just wire me the funds on Tuesday so I can complete the paperwork.

It seems we are seeing the leading edge of Rivian Guides contacting a few of us. My guess is this is to be consistent with May as the launch date for such reach-outs. I suspect there is a lot of hiring and training of guides going on in the background. Those of us contacted ‘early’ may simply be a reflection of our guides graduating a few days or weeks before others. ?‍?

Don’t forget this Forum maybe reaches 10% of Reservation holders and not everyone on the Forum is going to report. So whatever number of people reporting they were contacted can be multiplied by at least 10. As an example look at any of the Polls on the Forum and what a small percentage of people actually participate. My guess is at least a 100 people have already been contacted.

If it wasn’t screenshotted and posted in this forum, it clearly didn’t happen. ?

My guesstimate is that the number of Rivian Reservation Holders contacted is:

RRHC = TRG x Int/week x weeks ahead
RRHC = 40 x 30 x 1
RRHC = 1,200

Assuming 40 Trained Rivian Guides, each able to process 30 interviews/week, and only emailing Reservation Holders one week ahead of time.

False. Every pre-order requires participation in the forum. Now which one of you is Shaq!

Got this email this morning. Let the games begin! I have scheduled 45 min call for June 2 (only allow 45 min blocks)

Nice touch I just noticed is the guide adjusting to the consumer's timezones. That out Nicole on the hook to work till 7.

I wonder if each guide is going have a specific time zone...

Enjoy your intro call Adam!
