I am curious when the first vehicle recipients will get a firm delivery date. Rivian can’t just say on September 30th “Hey xxxxx, your truck is ready NOW”. People need to arrange funding, schedules, etc.
Very good point. You'd think given the very unique situation of how Rivian vehicle transfers occur that 30-days would be reasonable. 14-days at the very, very least.

Every vehicle I have purchased from a traditional dealership, I bought in a couple of hours. Our Tesla took a couple of days because the Tesla process for trading in your car took more time than a traditional dealership. I am ready to pickup on a moment's notice (Just in case you are listening Rivian Gods).

They've already communicated what to have ready to purchase. Their stated goal is do manage it in as little as 15 minutes. I'm guessing people will finalize their purchase next week (and we'll probably see the app next week), and then trucks will leave the factory end of week or early the following with first deliveries occurring the weeks ending in on the 17th or 24th depending on distance from the factory from shipping.

We still need to get the crash test rating and people also forget to notice but on the configuration all the prices are still “estimated”. We don’t actually know what the truck costs yet!

No we don't. Manufacturers can sell cars before the rating is published or completed. They just have to certify the meet safety standards.

Not including today (nearly over), 5 working days, or 7 total days left before we are overwhelmed with information. I'm curious about the Destination and Membership fees and what all features will be removed if we don't convert the Trial Membership. I hope the "Conserve" driving mode is standard. Also, I'm looking forward to the Owner's Manual. All will be revealed! ?

Hahaha, Tesla pulls this shit all the time. I hope Rivian doesn’t do the same.

speaking of which, did you see the shenanigans Tesla pulled with the Kilowatts guy's Model S order? yesterday the estimated deliver was 9/22 to 9/30. Now it's Dec 13 to January 2.

That would suck.
