[echerod]

This looks like an R1S delivery, probably to a Rivian employee.

I'm sure it is, but do you know this for a fact?

If they can deliver an R1S to an employee, they can take fuller pictures of the interior for the rest of the customer base before letting the employee drive home.

Maybe they don't need to market with a 90k backlog but the customer communication and experience is absolute garbage.

Talked to my guide today. They stated multiple R1S customer deliveries this week for the first time and that as a Mar/Apr delivery I should get an ETA soon. They have been straight up with me so far but take it for what it’s worth.

...or at least get some of these early production units in the hands of automotive journalists and youtubers like they did with the R1T.

She is the VP of engineering Hardware, https://rivian.com/our-company

granted a position very deserving of a R1S.

Looks like the person in the R1S picture is wearing a Rivian employee badge --right hip just below shirt/blouse.

Makes me wonder why they wouldn't release that before the earnings call yesterday though? People are dying for a R1S sighting and it would have helped show they are delivering both if not all 3 versions of their vehicles.

They did mention they are currently delivering R1T, R1S, and EDV700 on the call yesterday. No details but it was mentioned.
