Yeah. In an overall very positive announcement with lots of good news, they sleak that in.

While this is generally pretty positive news, reading between the lines seems to indicate that non-LE order holders will be waiting for a while. Whether that means after all LE deliveries (Spring of next year) is an open question, but makes some kind of sense: Rivian may want to work out both manufacturing and customer support issues with the LE before add a new model to the production (and delivery) mix.

Reading again between the lines seems to mean a wait until Rivian has delivered at least a tranche of 300 mi/Large battery pack vehicles before starting production of 400 mi/Mac Pack vehicles. That in turn may mean a wait until sometime in 2023. Rivian customer service told me that there would be an "announcement" about the Max Pack option "early in 2022", so 2023 delivery may be a realistic guess.

Did anyone in this forum actually receive an email? I have a Dec 13, 2018 R1S order and Feb 14, 2019 R1T order. Rivian support keeps telling me that customers with both R1T and R1S reservations will have first priority. I'm also about 15 miles from their Irvine, CA HQ... which I would suppose means there is delivery and maintenance support nearby. Have had both Launch Editions configured since the day they opened configurations...

But yet, still no word from a Rivian Guide.
