In theory it's doable (not on one additional salary!), but the complexities of integrating data from disparate systems, daily customer configuration changes, supply chain delivery glitches, production forecasting and unexpected production throughput variations make it a 7 headed monster. I think it wouldn't be very accurate until Rivian gets a year or two under their belt and the supply chain starts to become more predictable - and therefore in the short term it might irritate customers even more?

I think that's why we see what is happening today - "Which materials do we have on hand this week so we can build trucks next week? Let's build 250 of that combination and see who will take them."

Alas. A man can dream.

Mmm, wish they showed more of the yellow R1S, but I'm thinking of getting on board team School Bus. Great drone footage.

You do realize you’ll have to stop at all railroad crossings right?

It will take more than a software “engineer” to make salesforce, SAP, and whatever nightmare spreadsheet is meting out deliveries all make sense ?

SPREADSHEET....sh!t they've got a guy in a dark room with a single desk lamp, wearing a green eye shade, using a Magic 8 ball and writing it down in a notepad IMO, he then picks up a sound powered phone to the "Guides" and passes word to them on who gets what!!

The guide is silent in anticipation. He speaks in a dark, raspy almost whisper. 'James Flemming will get a Launch Greet R1T with the Black Mountain interior or he will get nothing. Make it so.'

GREAT VIDEO!!!!

I think the r1s’’s in the video were the ones that were spied shooting a video of some kind. Same number and colors. Hopefully they are cranking out more. Tony’s email today did not inspire confidence in the timelines for r1s deliveries. Eagerly awaiting the update email on timing there.

I was told by a rep. yesterday that the first R1S was delivered in Southern California to a non-employee. A journey of 10,000 preorders begins with a single delivery.

That's some real heavy orange peel right there...

But great video, I hope they keep doing more stuff like this
