Like, seriously. Luck had nothing to do with RJ being one of the first two people to receive R1S.

Yes. I’m sure we all felt better that he got an Rs

I am guessing they had a lottery for it and he WON!

and he was the only red ticket too

Well, he does deserve it, and if anyone here ran Rivian... who of you would not have taken the first R1S produced?

They've been called out by us and others regarding their so called "R1T customer deliveries" and have now formally declared/admitted they were to employee customers not regular customers. That one kind of backfired on them creating negative press, so I guess they were being proactive regarding the first R1S vehicle?

If I ran Rivian I wouldn't have accepted the first R1T or R1S. I'd have given it to the hardest working and longest serving employee and asked them to share their real world feedback with the team in order to improve the product for our customers.
I'd also do this for every new model and on an annual basis.

That happens to be Scaringe himself.
