Look at entry #118... this started the confusion. They ordered in 2021 6-months after me but took delivery 4 months ahead of me in my same city... at that time I had the same color, only difference being the rim choice, which I would have take at that time. Look at their "estimate" why would theirs have been different than mine... because they hadn't gotten the "update" of a punted delivery date like I did and inputed, so again Rivian missed the boat on said delivery, theirs was listed as Nov 21'-May 22'.... and I only took delivery in August of 22' because I took delivery of something other than my original configuration from Nov of 2020!!!! So your claim they met my "delivery estimates" is also ignorant to the fact that Rivian has constantly pushed delivery estimates, and had I not acted upon a configuration other than my original that they would have missed that as wellReally? Really? From the delivery tracking sheet, the numbers you entered show that you got your R1T Adventure sooner than others who were in front of you in line, and that yours was delivered at the very beginning of your delivery window. That doesn't sound to me like Rivian screwed you over.
I have a Launch Edition R1T ordered before you but delivered more than a month after you. You should have received your R1T after all the LE customers and after all the Adventure customers from 2018 and 2019 and from the first 10 months of 2020.
While some like Kyle may have jumped the line, it's not true that those few delayed your order in any way, because in the end you got yours sooner than expected. The changes Rivian has made since introducing the shop last year have greatly improved the line keeping.
Again, Really? You got yours in Aug 2022. Six months before that was February, which was before Rivian began shipping in quantity to customers and before the price hike. That means ALL the anecdotal evidence you're implying is for pre-price increase orders, so there's no way that what you think of as exceptions can be attributed to Rivian prioritizing post-price increase orders.
Bottom line, your VIN is probably 10k or less, but you most certainly are NOT one of the first 10k orders, and you didn't even have an LE order. You knew when you placed your order that you were way down the list, and you ended up getting your order sooner than you should have expected it, knowing what you should have known when you placed your order. I certainly knew when I placed my order that I wouldn't see it before summer 2022, and you should have expected to wait longer than me because you didn't have an LE which were supposed to be first. So much for your "proof" that the linked story is correct. It's all based on people with demonstrably false expectations acting entitled when they "appear" to have been wronged, which just leads to more whining.
What's your point? Rivian has been top notch in delivering as they said they would? They have been forthright and met all timelines as intended? That service center locations are indeed a reason why people missed delivery estimates? all those excuses are in-fact bogus and we are the proof. That they have't delivered higher priced trucks to those in similar towns/cities where earlier pre-order adopters have waited? What's your point?
I agree, I was not the most screwed over pre-order holder, but that in itself doesn't mean I wasn't screwed over.
In the end it seems you're upset I'm laying claim to being screwed over when you in fact were screwed over worse than me. Just remember, that doesn't mean I get to not claim I was screwed over it only means I can't say I was the MOST screwed over.
