It's Official: Rivian Will Start Delivering R2s In Two Weeks

Rivian will start inviting customers to configure their personal R2 on June 9, with first deliveries occurring the same day. Customers who placed a deposit will receive emails to configure and lock in their desired specifications. After configuration, the vehicle is expected to be ready for delivery in 2 to 6 weeks. Invitations will be sent in batches prioritized by reservation timestamps and delivery location. Existing R1 owners may receive accelerated delivery timing, balanced with non-Rivian owners to keep the line moving fairly. Rivian may also prioritize expiring leases when possible. A randomly selected group of reservation holders will be invited early to help refine timing estimates. If invited customers are not ready to order, their place in line will be saved.

"Rivian will begin inviting customers to configure their own personal R2 beginning on June 9th. The time from ordering to delivery is between 2 and 6 weeks. Customers can also wait for their desired trim or paint option to be available without losing their ability to order. The Rivian R2 is finally almost here. After two long years, pre-order holders will start getting cars in just two weeks."

"Rivian officially announced on Wednesday that the automaker will begin sending invites for customer orders starting on June 9th, with first deliveries taking place on the same day. Customers who put a deposit down on an R2 will begin receiving emails letting them know that it's time to configure their very own R2 and lock in the order for their desired spec. Once configured, Rivian says that the vehicle will be ready for delivery in just 2 to 6 weeks."

"Rivian is sending out invitations to order in batches, prioritized by a few different factors. First, and most important, are the reservation timestamps and delivery location. Rivian says that these are the primary factors of when invites will be sent out. There are also a few other ways that invites will be prioritized. Existing R1 owners will receive "accelerated delivery timing," according to Rivian, though the automaker says that it's balancing this priority alongside non-Rivian owners so that the line can keep moving for everyone at a fair pace."

"The brand says that it will also factor in expiring leases "where it can," so owners with a lease ending may also get a bump in line if there's room. There's also a randomly selected group of reservation holders that Rivian says will be invited into early batches of R2. Rivian says that this will help the automaker refine its timing estimates in the ordering process early on. For those who get invited but are not yet ready to order, Rivian says that your place in line will be saved and you can order whenever you'r"
