The change in EV credits haven’t help Rivian or it’s buyers only there will be less of them.

I put down a reservation March 5 2023 (yes less than two weeks ago) and received an invite to configure my R1T yesterday. When I reserved, I was thinking the truck would be headed my way more towards the end of the year. Unsure what I'm going to do.

Perhaps this isn't fair on my part, but I also don't quite understand how Rivian had 120k+ preorders last quarter and they're inviting somebody who just put down a reservation to configure. It does make me worry about the demand and thus potential health of Rivian. If I'm going to spend 90k+ on a truck I want the company to be around to service it..
Same here...i reserved Feb 27th 2023 and also got invited to config.
I wouldn't read too much into it. Both SF and Chicago are areas where Rivian can effectively deliver and service vehicles. Also as others have said Rivian is clearly trying to boost margins, the QM trucks they are configuring now are lower margin and selling them at $80k is causing Rivian to lose it's shirt. If you want a QM this is your time, I expect come later this year they will be making mostly DM trucks.

I wonder how soon Rivian starts offering a lease option. I have noticed that Polestar and Hyundai are pushing that route so they can still take advantage of the tax credit

Got my R1 Shop invite last night, my config is on there, but like others, I'm having heartburn about spending 90k on a truck...

I think I'm going to hold out until the Dual Motor is released.

Don't pay more than $100k, plenty on offer at that price. $116k is gouging.

Shows me 60 available vehicles. I’m in NY if that matters.
Update - only 49 left today. Looks like people are buying them up!

Does anyone know how often the shop get replenished? Is there a specific day to look out for new choices or do they get added in throughout the week?

By my estimates, Rivian is prioritizing configuration invites to people who: 1/ are post price hike and 2/ live close to service centers

What is a close Service Center? We are about 5 hours from the Denver one.

I'm excited to report that after getting the OP email, put in my config, it got confirmed, and like the next day I got shop access... and found my exact config in the dozens of trucks visible. Delivery will be this Friday.
