Guide Contact October 14. Est Delivery was oct - dec with OC. Got revised timeline of April -June 2023. Guide said it would help if I changed to Black mountain. Did that 2 weeks ago and today got purchase process email!

For context - LE Launch Green R1S with 20's and guide put me in for a factory delivery (I'm 5 hours away).

Excited for you but... I have had Black Mountain configured for several years now yet with a pre-order date of August 2019, I still have an April-June 2023 delivery window. I am fully convinced at this point that there is no method to their madness.

Ive had BM since day 1 as well and I'm Feb-Mar. I think the key is just getting lucky enough to get a good guide and then working the system.

3/28/19 GW/BM/22/LE/R1S 40 min from SSF. Personal opinion sick of "process"!

The interior may be a part of it, but there is other weirdness and apparent randomness as well.

I have a 2019 R1S preorder, have been configured with Black Mountain since the first day the configurator was available, and live less than five miles from a service center.

I still don’t have a guide, or even a delivery window, just a “processing estimate” with a promise of an update in January.

I’ve reached out to Rivian, but no follow up yet to email, chat, or phone.

When I see your location I'm tempted to change from FE to BM to speed it up. February isnt that far away.... I'd love to see your truck when you get it!

Heck I’m little over eight hours away from the factory and I would be more than happy to make that drive if it meant I could get my R1T a smidge sooner than late next year (if I’m lucky). Lol

Happy for you, but what about the email that claims "changing your configuration will most likely delay your delivery"?

I suspect if someone picks the "right" combo, his/her order will be moved up just like yours did.

Someone on facebook had very similar situation they reported today, from this week. Same exact config - was OC - changed to BM and then got a purchase process email shortly after that. I really feel the Launch Edition, Launch green, with BM is a safe bet for priority but that's just my gut speaking.

I just don’t get it. I have been BM since the beginning.

I asked my Guide what would happen if I switched from 20’s to 22’s. He recommended for me not to do it because it could push me back because I am making a change. You would think wheels wouldn’t be a big deal.
