@@BlueCollarEV I don't disagree and I understand your frustration/anger. Kyle said that he fell in love with the truck and ordered one after testing it - his test videos were posted about 2 months ago, so he clearly did not have to wait long. But he also did not get the truck that he ordered. Perhaps Rivian should have a better and more transparent process for selling trucks where a buyer has backed out from a truck that is already built. In Rivian's defense though, it is not clear how often this happens, or if it would be worth the effort to constantly be reaching out to customers to see if they want to adjust their configuration. They could have a website with a list of available vehicles, and allow people who are waiting on an order to check the list at their leisure and request a change - but again, how often does this happen? Would the list usually be empty? Would customers become even more frustrated because every time an R1T shows up on the list, Rivian immediately receives 100 requests and can only fulfill one?

I know 4 people who are not KZreadrs who had reservations get a call from Rivian and ask if they wanted a truck right now…

Interesting. I've had a reservation since November of 2019 and I've never been given the option of getting a truck early. You say it wasn't because you're a KZreadr, but my guess is that's exactly what happened. So, Bryce - the guide that made this happen - I, too "need a truck". As a reservation holder and Rivian shareholder, this does not sit well.

They will give you the option once you’ve got a guide. I was a July 2019 preorder and got mine two weeks ago. Essentially they say: “Hey… if we don’t have your exact spec’d truck produced yet, but we have others that are available immediately, would you want that instead. For instance I ordered launch with launch green and forest edge, off road underbody, 20” with dark wheels, tow package… they said “we’ve got x/y/z now. Do you want to wait for us to find one that matches yours?” I said “yes I’d like to wait…. I’ve waited three years, I’m not in a rush.” They found my match three weeks later, shipped it out from Illinois to California. Wait for what you wanted originally, not someone’s cancelled order! You’ll be happier.

As someone said on a forum : He had contacts at RIVIAN which he would not have been able to get without his status as a KZreadr He then leveraged those contacts because he was a KZreadr and attempted to actually cut the line in front of others who had been waiting for years but was denied. He then leveraged connections at RIVIAN to get guide contact well before anyone else who would have placed a reservation in the timeframe he placed his reservation. The guide then shuttled him into the Shop program which was supposed to be prioritized for the earliest reservation holders so that he could pick out an available configuration. Kyle now has an R1T.

Just wish the IRS would pay as much attention to them as they do average business owners.

Ya it is because you are a KZreadr with good videos and reviews. Congratulations for your influence to be able to get one! They have not offered anyone else an early purchase for a different spec vehicle so yes your youtube influence had everything to do with it. At least you honestly stated the situation. Looking forward to the new videos from this. To Rivian: this is another kick in the nuts to long waited preorder holders.

When did u order ? I ordered 2 years ago still didn't get it

Im glad you got the launch edition, but damn. Thats my exact adventure spec. They contacted me 3 weeks ago without the offroad package and i said no and I did not want to change colors. Happy for you, but still a little ticked

Congrats on your new ride! Your delivery manager guy was awesome. Tons of personality, and seems to genuinely love his job.

Kyle and team, congrats on the sweet new ride. Really looking forward to more reviews. In particular, I’d love to see you replicate that situation where the Rivian lost traction crawling up the hill on two wheels (with the driver who was inexperienced with the Rivian). I really want to know if he had juiced it a little more whether that would have done the trick to get the truck over the hump. He seemed to be driving it like a truck in low gear with locked diffs. In other words, I’d like to see more situations that test its quad motor abilities and how it stacks up to a traditional locked differential system (theoretically, the quad motors should be able to replicate and surpass the capabilities of locked diffs).

Amazing video. Can't wait to see the road trip

Luv the video !! So exciting ! Like a kid at Christmas so awesome. Luv y’all !! Have a model Y LR waiting but I luv this truck so I might have to switch !! Yall be blessed and drive safe

Just a heads up; if you swap the wheels you need to have a Rivian service center change the software configuration. Notice the wheels match on the display. Changing wheels without fixing config will mess with your range prediction and vehicle speed and more.

Also I'm sure that some longterm reservation holders would have switched to this spec if it was actually offered to them.

I shuttle trailers for that plant. Glad to see a happy customer from all what we done. And can tell this was filmed awhile ago looking at the new addition being built at 20:09. That now extends ALL the way up north to where there were some truck docks. Other features I didn't see shown in the video were a bluetooth speaker at the bottom of the center divider that can pop out, and in the door there's a flashlight that uses one of the cells that's in the battery for the truck.

VERY nice interior, Kyle. Good choice. Looks nice & bright, like my new favorite interior, the Genesis EV60.

That's a slick build, love it!

That is the best video so far on the delivery process for Rivian. OK, so I'd like to borrow it tomorrow (the 10th) to take a camper down to the Great Sand Dunes from Denver. ;-) Seriously, now I'm dreading getting into the Yukon to do that trip. No biggie, maybe one more year for an R1S to come off the line. The model 3 LR (first EV!) should show up in a few weeks. I'd LOVE to see more about your drive from Normal to Colorado.
