Holy crap! But we will see how many of those pre-order turn out to be actual buyers. A lot of pre orders for the Ford Lightning too, but I think we all know how THAT story is going to end.

At our request, the underwriters have reserved up to % of the shares offered by us in this offering, for sale at the initial public offering price through a directed share program to:

•   eligible customers who had a standing preorder for an R1T or R1S as of September 30, 2021; and

•   persons who are directors, officers or employees, or who are otherwise associated with us and identified by our officers and directors.

Customers who had, by September 30, 2021, preordered an R1T or R1S and had not otherwise cancelled the preorder as of such date, are potentially eligible for the program. If demand for the program exceeds capacity, we will allocate shares on a pro-rata basis among all eligible participants in the directed share program. Eligible participants who meet more than one criteria, or have placed a preorder for more than one Rivian vehicle, will not be entitled to a greater participation in the program as a result.

Any idea what the percentage is?

Who would have known... my R1T order was confirmed Sept 30th at 4:09PM. Just under the wire by a few hours to get in on the IPO

I had asked about friends and family shares and could not be more thrilled that are giving us access! Thanks for sharing. I have a reservation for the R1T in emerald green with the camp kitchen. Can't wait!

Do tell us. How will that end? I mean they already are the words leader in truck manufacturing.

I don't work there. But I like emailing them with questions, which they're good at answering. I'm looking forward to being assigned my Rivian Guide. Who's got a guide?

The IPO filing says "We will agree to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities and expenses, including liabilities under the Securities Act, in connection with the sales of the shares reserved for the directed share program. will administer our directed share program."

So whoever is blanked out will be the firm we would have to buy the IPO shares from. I guess they will tell us at some point..."
