Rivian R2 Configure Emails Ramp Up One Week After Launch

One week after the official R2 launch and Rivian is sending configure invites at a faster pace. The first few days it was a slow trickle. Now it is picking up, so if you have a reservation and you have been wondering when your turn comes, it is probably close.

Mine showed up yesterday. The timing worked out, and I am already set on a Launch Green R2 Performance. It is a strange feeling actually.

A few things worth knowing if your invite is not here yet.

Not every option is available right now. If you want something that is not live at launch, like the Coastal Cloud interior, the white one, you can still submit your build request for it and Rivian will let you know when it opens up. You just have to be willing to wait on it.

If you do not want to wait, you can switch your build over to whatever is available now and move yourself closer to delivery. For those configs Rivian is estimating 2 to 8 weeks. That is a big spread, and it stays big because it comes down to stuff you do not really control. Your trim, your color, where you live, how the line is running that week.

The reaction online has been fun to watch. Reddit, the Discord, all the usual spots, full of people posting their configure emails and going back and forth on trims and colors. A lot of these folks have been holding reservations for a long time, so the excitement makes sense.

Anyway, that is about where things stand right now. The pace is up, and the real decision most people are facing is whether to wait on the exact build they want or take a close one to get the car sooner. If your email is not here yet, give it a little time. From the way this week has gone it does not look like it is slowing down.
