This is my first post though I've commented on others. I live in Philly and I'm getting ready to take delivery so I thought I'd provide some details here in case anyone is interested. I've been following these threads but it seems that once someone gets their R1T they drop off the forum. Hopefully others find this info helpful.
6/25/20: I put in my pre-order (about a year after I first wanted to...)
11/16/20: Got the e-mail that my pre-order was ready to configure.
11/23/21: Received e-mail giving delivery window of April/May 2022
3/1/22: Pricing update e-mail
3/3/22: Pricing walk-back e-mail
3/10/22: Original Pricing was shown on my configurator
3/12/22: Could no longer enter the configurator, message shows to contact guide with any changes!
3/18/22: Contacted by Guide!
Had a great call today which lasted 30 min (and I had very few questions). He mentioned that Rivian is trying to get 1,800 units out this month and I'm one of the lucky ones. He confirmed my config and info and gave me a heads up that there is an 8 step online process that goes over pricing, how to pay, insurance etc. He mentioned that the trade in program pricing for your current vehicle has been very well received. I did ask about the pricing fiasco and the guides were caught as off-guard as we were. Adventure kits like the tent and kitchen are backordered so you have the option to take the vehicle without those. I wanted the racks but I'll have to purchase after taking delivery.
Build:
- Launch Edition
- Large Pack
- Color: Launch Green
- Wheels: 20" All-Terrain
- Interior: Black Mountain
- Adventure Gear: Tow Hooks / Field Kit / Powered Tonneau / Wall Charger
I'll update when I hear more or have the truck delivered.
