As we continue to ramp R1 production, we'd like to update our R1S preorder holders on the progress we're making at our plant in Normal.
We are scaling both the R1T and R1S as fast as possible without compromising quality. We know how important it is for all of you to have better clarity on your R1S delivery timing and that many of you are making plans around your delivery windows. With this, we are working through supply chain challenges and the ripple impacts on our production ramp up that may affect some of the delivery windows we previously communicated. Much like we did with the R1T, we are focusing much of the early R1S production on employee deliveries to ensure the best possible ownership experience for everyone from day one.
Over the next two weeks, we'll share delivery windows with R1S customers who have updated delivery timing in 2022, or who previously had windows in 2022 that will be shifting later. For all other preorder holders, expect updates on your delivery timing through the end of summer. As we have communicated before, delivery timing is dependent on many factors including delivery address, configuration and preorder date – we are working to provide as much clarity as possible understanding some of the challenges with supply chain predictability.
We’re grateful for your continued support. Let us know if you have questions.
