This is not totally unexpected for a new start-up manufacturer, but Rivian has finally come clean on there will be a delayed timing for the R1T's. Rivian has previously stated they would deliver LE by end of 2021. Having placed my order on Dec. 12th, 2018 this has been a long wait.

Per Rivian's update today: "Launch Edition deliveries are now planned to start in July and be completed in spring 2022. All R1T and R1S Launch Edition preorder holders will hear from their Guide by the end of November with their expected delivery timing."

So, now what is the anticipated timing for my R1T Max Pack? Summer of 2022?

At least they are saying that drive events will begin in August at several locations - I can finally see one in person!

Maybe not. I don't think they are going to be working in series from LE to non LE after a certain point. I think they are including those far and quirky LE preorders to make sure everyone has a date. So even if the R1S LE preorder in Alaska is still waiting, non LE R1T orders on California may start getting their deliveries.

That would make sense. I did email Rivian this morning asking for clarification. I placed my order in early Dec. 2018, but then in choosing the Max Pack put myself into 2022 deliveries.

I'll be heading down to Detroit for the event also - be nice to meet other pre-order folks.

they canceled Miami's event last year, and I didn't see it on the list... I guess not many orders from the South East. What else is there to do in Detroit, maybe I can make it this year's family trip ?

I actually don't think they've ever said this. We've been working on that assumption here, but I don't think that there was ever an official statement that all LE would be delivered by 2021.

I would be very surprised if the max pack R1T I configured is delivered before March of next year

Ps I live in Atlanta and have a common color / configuration

Really surprised that neither Denver nor Vegas is on the first test drive list. LA, NYC, Chicago and Detroit? So much for that “adventure” vibe. ?. Quick question - anyone know of a good place in Manhattan to do a tank turn?

I MAY go to NYC in August to see the car but its a hike 4 hours or so from DC to which I though they would for sure come here.

Would have been nice if they addressed max pack and regular pre-order delivery estimates in a clear way at a in the update...

The ongoing delays on LEs is really frustrating. It really just means more time for other automakers to bring EVs to the market or announce what their EVs will look like.

At a certain point, if Land Rover or Jeep come out with a strong EV entry I might as well just wait another year (I've already waited 3 years) and get something from a more established player that I may like better anyways.
