Yes, it will absolutely affect your delivery date. That said it could affect it positively or negatively. Thereā€™s no way to tell.

I would have thought unlikely this far out. But if you make a change do it in the next couple of days so you can get an accurate estimate.

I changed from LA Silver to Limestone on my R1T about a month before my confirmation of config (two months before delivery). So I wouldnā€™t think so unless there is a corresponding delay with the option you change to.

Get what you want. This far out, color alone isn't going to make a difference to delivery.

I just did a color change (ETA 1st half 2024). I feel quite foolish for doing it. I figured the same thing though. What are the chances color would affect ETA for a year out delivery.

I chatted with Rivian rep and was told I'd need to wait till end of April to know any effect but was told I may be delayed and recommended not to make any changes. Worst part is I can't even cancel the change even though they haven't rescheduled my delivery.

I donā€™t know if it will increase your time but it will for sure increase your coolness if you switched to Red Canyon instead. Unless you already have Red Canyon in which case youā€™re risking a big drop in cool points.

I am pretty sure someone mentioned here that they recently did a factory tour and Rivian is no longer doing batches of one color at a time, so I don't think it matters as much as it used to. Once you get closer to your delivery window, you will also get access to the R1S store, so you can always change color then as well (assuming there is a matching config to yours). As others noted, if you are sure you want a different color, then change it (better to do so before the next delivery estimate too).

Best post today. Also, I concur.

I'm just waiting until I get "The Call". They have changed so many things in my configuration all on their own. (camp kitchen, tonneau cover, tent, interior, quad motor...) Figured, why change things myself and possibly risk changing my delivery date. May as well wait to see what's left from my original configuration then decide what might need changing. Since they are suppose to confirm your choices once you are in line, figured I'd just wait.

I was worried more that they might use it as another excuse to blast me to the back of the line so they could collect full price from more recent order.

I changed to red canyon and it moved me back to early 2024 which sucked then I got a confirm config today so I donā€™t think it matters.

Wow ! I'll hope for that to happen to me. First half of 2024 will be a stretch for me but I saw the recent news that many R1T orders had been moved up so wished that might happen for R1S's. Maybe should have changed color to Red.
