Wow! Better than the long wait 😀

Were there any R1S configurations in the Shop?

When (approximately) does the email go out? Is it within the 6-8 week window of your existing pre-order?

I imagine this only goes out to those with BM, LE builds. I have held firm on OC in my configuration and got a new Oct/Nov window rather than the shop email.

My guide simply told me access email to the shop are on a rolling basis with the earliest pre-orders setup to be the first to get access to it. Once you get access, and if you choose one of the available options in the shop, then it could be 6-8 weeks before you take delivery, or sooner based on where that truck is in the build phase.

Trucks in the shop currently have been both launch editions and adventure trims.

Waits patiently for email... impatiently

Being Canadian we are at the back of the line, as we're waiting for both Canadian regulations to be completed, and maybe more importantly any service centers....both of those need to exist before any single regular customer gets a rivian vehicle

Oh i know. Expect we have a 1.5 year wait still.

At $2.20 a litre it sucks but gas is still cheaper than the truck cost haha. I'm driving a 2009 feel like it's time to change.

Just spoke to my guide for the first time last week. Was told 6-8 weeks. Got an email Sunday (6/12) saying I was pushed out until October-November but mentioned flexibility would potentially allow me to pull that in, so I reached out to my guide. Late afternoon today (6/14) I got invited to the shop. Had to give up my preferred tires (AT), full sized spare, and underbody shield, but that got me a vin and back to 6-8 weeks or less.

I'm in an identical position: Originally July-Sept, guide call last week, followed by e-mail saying I am pushed out to Oct-Nov. Got Shop access yesterday, but not willing to give up on the 20" AT tires (21" road seems to be the only option in the shop). So I decided to keep waiting...

The thing holding me up now is no ability to get a full size spare (at all, even delayed, according to my guide).

Just spoke to my guide for the first time last week. Was told 6-8 weeks. Got an email Sunday [..] Late afternoon today (6/14) I got invited to the shop. Had to give up my preferred tires (AT), full sized spare, and underbody shield, but that got me a vin and back to 6-8 weeks or less.

It's surprising that the tires are back ordered. I ordered a full-size spare and my guide said he hoped it would come in within 2 months. I had some things like the crossbars delayed and they have come 2 weeks later via UPS as he predicted. But I want the tire. They charged me for it at delivery. I just realized I kind of gave them a loan.

I just mentioned it to another poster but I ordered a full-size spare and they said it would take at least two months to get to me. Tires are back ordered?!

Rivian will let preorder holders take delivery "in the next 6-8 weeks or sooner".

Downside is, you'll have to drop your preordered model for any of the available models already built and listed in the 'R1 Shop'. This means you might not get an R1T exactly how you like it and will have to settle for whatever shows up in the shop. But for the impatient, this might be worth a much quicker delivery.

Rivian recently sent out an email about the newly launched shop that can be found here:

Introducing the R1 Shop

More 🐎:poop: In May, we reached out to some of you, via survey and Guide conversations, to see if you were interested in reconfiguring your preorder to take delivery sooner. The volume and enthusiasm of the responses told us it was a path worth exploring. We tested this approach with...

www.rivianownersforum.com

Access to the shop is only available through an invite that Rivian has already started sending out to preorder holders via email.

Important to note is that Rivian will just give you a week to decide if to go with a model from the R1 Shop or not, according to this statement at the end of the email:

At the moment the shop lists basic vehicle configuration info and won't give you a VIN or anything specific.

Does anyone know if you get to keep the pre-order price on the new aligned configuration?

I would absolutely believe so!

For those who were able to access the Rivian shop, are the prices based on the original or revised prices?(after March).

They are based on the respective reservation date prices or LE edition pricing [as appropriate].
