I placed my preorder deposit in November. When did you place yours?
Yes. Placed my reservation in March of 2022, and have an estimated delivery date of February/March 2023. Still no word or invitation to the Shop. Curious to see what the updated date will be.
Today! Woo hoo! Everything complete now waiting for delivery in the next couple of weeks
Congratulations @Ozmt! What spec is your Rivian?
Unfortunately, that's not the way the test drive program works, at least that's what both CS and my Rivian guides have told me. The test drive program is the First Mile event and Rivian has told me in no uncertain terms that they are invitation only. The best you can do I'm told is to sign up and wait for one to happen that you get an invitation to.
I got my "confirm your selections" email this morning as well. Same estimated delivery period (albeit, but your pre-order date, I am assuming yours is for an R1S; mine is an R1T). What makes you say the timing of the email doesn't bode well for the EDD to hold? Not saying it will, but there is still 9 weeks left until the end of March.
I've been told that, but I've also spoken to other people who were able to successfully ask for additional test drives from their service center. Obviously I have no reason to confirm that, but also can't see a reason why they would lie about something like that.
My email said "Interested in getting an R1S in 6-8 weeks or sooner?" So, makes me think the config I ordered must be considerably further out than 6-8 weeks.

You're reading way too much into this. Rivian has been trying to give R1 shop access to everyone at some point in the order process. It's a benefit, for people who are flexible in their configuration and care more about getting something sooner than getting their exact configuration. I got access to the shop three months before my delivery window, but I waited and my original configuration was delivered a few weeks BEFORE my delivery window.
That is great information. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain. Mine is launch edition R1S LA silver with Forest edge interior. Ordered four years ago. Saw this exact configuration sitting outside the Orlando service center last weekend, so I think they have been making this configuration. .
I got my invitation for a test drive at the South San Francisco Service Center. Considering that it's over two hundred miles from me I suggested to them to bring a few of the R1T's and R1S's up to Humboldt county CA and set up at the Fortuna, CA Rivian Adventure Charging Station. They can probably get a few of us from the area who are on the waiting list to test drive there.
O, got access to the shop last night. Must have been around 18-20 R1S there. This morning, only 11 available. I guess several folks may have found what they would be happy with as opposed to the Wait.
