So I had a nice online Chat with Rivian today and got some new (to me at least) information. The fact that they said "I'm happy to share" means it must be official news. Maybe I've just missed this.
Copy of chat here: R= Rivian Customer Service G=Gavin
R: Hello Gavin! Thanks for chatting into Rivian. I hope you're doing well. My name is ------, how can I help? (took off the name, but I don't think it would be an issue)
R: Hi Gavin, are you still available to chat?
G: Hi
G: sorry multitasking
R: No worries lol!
G: Once again this is my asking to see if there is Limestone on a real R1T? My preferred color but really can't decide till I see on a real truck.
R: This is a popular question today! I haven't seen solid pictures of it or on a full truck. I have seen the swatch on a vehicle part though and it is beautiful! Has hues of blues and greens in sunlight.
G: Popular as it seems to be the forbidden fruit of Rivian colors. Secondly, and much more complicated to answer I'm sure, but I was stupidly late to making an R1T reservation so (I'm) not a LE reservation (and sadly that launch green color is growing on me each time I see it), but was wondering if Non LE peeps will be getting a rough time frame any time soonish? I also have a Ford Lightning on order, but prefer the Rivian. Still it looks like I am a first wave order on a Lightning, so maybe around July 2022. If the Rivian was near that I could wait.
G: of course my friends are saying to buy the lightning and then sell it (as the demand is so great) to get the R1T...but that sounds complicated and strangely like effort
R: I'd have to agree with you! I'm happy to share that you will receive an email by the end of this year with a projected delivery window for you. So by the end of this month! Hopefully that will give you a better idea on decisions moving forward!
G: YAY!
R: Glad I could share some good news!
G: Perhaps Rivian communication department can send that info out officially to people, or at least the forum sites that are desperate for any new Rivian news
G: and thanks again
G: ps...all my communications with rivian have been great.
G: but we always want more...
R: I'm surprised that no one has broadcasted it yet either lol but we are happy that there is more information coming out soon as we ramp up production!
R: Understandably so! We are advocating for that also. We are in a very exciting time and can't wait to get these vehicles with our community.
G: Thank you again, Don't want to take up your time as you probably need to answer more questions on Limestone images
R: Hahah! That's my next mission. Demanding Limestone images!
R: Thank you! Safe adventures and happy holidays, Gavin!
