as for efficiency, yeah, I'm barely able to get 2mi/kwh these days. It's usually hanging around the 1.6 mark or so. Big change from how August and September were for me

I feel like they're getting more common in New England, I just saw 3 in two hours! All different colors too; a LG, a RB, and a matte El Cap.
Agree. I saw four in one day (3 in just my town) and all different colors. Also, my daugther reported that a teacher say a FG R1S drive out of her school parking lot just the other day. More people are becoming aware of Rivian for sure.

We got our R1T Adventure package Forest Green in Guilford, CT on Sept. 29, 2022. We've seen at least three other Rivians in our area. Our original order was placed in Jan. 2021. We passed on the max pack in order to get this large pack one. Didn't see the max pack coming down the pike anytime soon.

Locals:

I dropped my truck off in Chelsea this morning and got a T as a loaner that’s Forest Green with the new Ocean Coast interior. If anyone wants to take a look, I can be at the address below tonight Monday 12/5 from 6:30-7:30

Chelsea service was nice enough to get me the loaner ad I’ve been trying to see if the noises from my suspension are normal (similar in another T) and they appear to be the same.

Dang how did you score a proper loaner? They keep only offering me stupid rental cars.
I just keep asking. Every time I talk to anyone at RIVIAN I tell them that I haven’t driven another one and can’t tell if all of the suspension noises I’m hearing are typical or if there something getting ready to jump off the truck. They had one that hadn’t been charged up or cleaned but I told them I didn’t care as I live less than 10 miles from Chelsea (gotta remember to charge it this afternoon!) but they handed it over either way. All I can say is just keep asking and go in for something that may take a few days. They are replacing my battery but I don’t know why yet.

Does anyone have a feel for what coming through Chelsea by way of the R1S?

I was driving on 93S today from Boston southward and I passed a trailer with R1T's and R1S's on it. I nearly got my camera out as I was in a bit of stop and go traffic at that moment.

Hello All, First post......long time lurker. Just got guide and 8 step yesterday (12/7). Reserved R1S Nov 2020, updated window was Feb-Mar 2023. Talked to my guide yesterday and he indicated they are pushing out lots of vehicles prior to end of year. Received VIN, but vehicle is still in Normal, to be shipped to Chelsea SC "soon".

CONGRATS! How close are you to Chelsea? Is there anything that you think may have gotten you to receive your S at this point?

You are going to love your Rivian!

Thanks!! I am about 30 miles north of Chelsea. I have pretty much never changed my configuration. My configuration has always been Launch Green, Bright 22's, no underbody shield, BM interior. Additional information: I did cancel order, and then reinstate after the pricing fiasco.

I hope you were able to keep the old $ amount. I really think the S looks great in every color other than white. Enjoy it when I gets here and play to take twice as long to do anything where the public can see it!
