Well, I got my delivery window from Rivian, and it's not exactly what I was hoping for: First half of 2023. BUT, I really appreciate the communication:
"We realize this estimate may be different than what you had originally expected. Your delivery window estimate is based on your preorder date, delivery location and your current configuration. Due to the high volume of preorders for our Adventure Package with Large pack battery, we will be focusing on that configuration in 2022. In setting our delivery timing, we optimized our build sequence around the build combination that would support us ramping as quickly as possible and therefore have the largest possible positive climate impact."
At least they are being honest. production is being planned to ramp up in an efficient way, so they base the delivery window on location, what you ordered and timing.
While this is not what I wanted to hear, I very much appreciate the transparency and honesty. PEOPLE LIKE TRANSPARENCY, TESLA. ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? It allows me to make plans, such as accepting delivery on my Plaid MX instead of waiting for my R1S. On the other hand, for all I know, they will delivery on the same day!
