Well it was bound to happen, I've been contacted by Rivian and I can't quite muster the ability to be excited.
With all the botched communications, delivery issues I've read about, changes from the company, etc, etc, etc., I am, at best, skeptical that I will actually see a truck any time soon.
Figured the big questions usually revolve around timing, so below is my high level timeline -
May 10, 2022 - Call with Guide, confirmed configuration, estimated delivery 4-6 weeks, no LE
May 10, 2022 - Emailed 2 Doc's to sign (E-Signature Consent & Disclosure Notice and Preliminary Buyer's Agreement)
May 12, 2022 - Emailed Digital Vehicle Purchase Checklist
May 13, 2022 - Received call from Guide stating they have an LE, just like mine w/ different wheels, and wanted to know if I'd be open to taking delivery of that vehicle.
I was OK with the wheels and excited about the LE, so pulled the trigger to make change . . . we will see if anything actually becomes of this, but not holding my breath.
I'll continue to post here as I go through the process of taking delivery.

- Rivian wouldn't switch me back to an LE
- Nov 2021 - First Drive Event
