Autoevolution pick up a disturbance in force is taking place on RivianForums. On Saturday, A forum member has started a thread with the text of a letter Rivian sent to those who have booked R1S. The letter provides an update on shipping windows, moving windows back anywhere from one to nine months. According to other members’ posts, some of the people who pre-ordered R1S from March or April this year – who still don’t have electric SUVs – have moved to Q4, sometime between October and December of this year. . Others were lucky enough to have shorter delays, moving from estimated deliveries of April or May to August or September.
Rivian’s letter to the client gave two reasons for the change in plans, one of them blaming the usual culprit, the other being brand experience. The letter said of the supply chain crisis, “As we continue to navigate a tight supply chain, we must reduce complexity wherever we can, including prioritizing outcomes.” certain building combinations than others.” Although the parts and logistics crisis is affecting everyone everywhere, and even legacy OEMs are still hoarding thousands of cars to wait for limited bits, the Director executive RJ Scaringe spoke of even worse difficulties for Rivian as suppliers wanted to make the most of their limited production. Establish first customer.
The second reason given in the letter explains, “We continue to prioritize deliveries in locations with the service infrastructure so that we can provide a full ownership experience to owners. owned Rivian from day one.” Rivian’s website lists 19 service centers across the country, and customers near those centers have a better chance of receiving their order. For example, there is a service center in the South, in Florida. The next closest center to the north is Virginia, the next closest to the west is Texas. That’s a lot of dark territory.
Not every R1S reservation that appears in the forum thread will receive the e-mail, so some deliveries may still be in progress. One hopeful buyer wrote, “It was July-September, now it’s October-December – piggy day in these email delays but fell into the trap and thought OK… This is the last legitimate delay.” But in today’s world, we’re not sure there’s anything legal in the end, especially without a final delay.
