Gave my deposit one year ago this month, thats was 05/21. Just called last week to get a build date for my R1S. They told me it would be end of spring 2023.

Hey @sumersearch welcome to the forum. Is this the first build date they gave you? Or was it pushed back?

What are you currently driving while you wait for your R1S?

Well, until about three weeks ago my deposit was on the Truck (R1T). I changed to the R1S at that time. So my call to them a week ago was the first correspondence that I have had with them.

I don’t understand why you’re upset. You’ve only been waiting a year. The R1S line started years before your reservation was made.

Don't mistake anxious for being upset. Not upset at all. Maybe the the red face Emoji was the wrong choice. Just stating the facts.

Well I put in my order on 9/29/21 and decided to not get emotional about my interminable wait time, looking at the glass 20% full: by the time they get to building mine maybe the first gremlins have been eliminated; and I will be better informed by the time I take delivery.

+1 on the gremlins being sorted. And perhaps even the opportunity for a first drive.
Waiting since December 2018….

For the truck, it was really surprising how if you shifted even a recent order to match the LE specs, people got in really quick (someone was in March or April 2022 in one of these rivian chat groups maybe reddit). I was 1.5 years for my truck from order to arrival. I really wanted to have the max pack but it's kind of off in the indefinite future and I wanted to drive it this year.
