Rivian updated its R2 order invitation support page and it now lists delivery timelines for the newest options, so if you’re eyeing Esker Silver you’re looking at 6-10 weeks, while Borealis, Forest Green, and the Coastal Cloud interior are all sitting at 8-12 weeks.
Invites started going out on June 9 and they’re still coming in batches. Your reservation timestamp and delivery location matter most, and if you live near a Rivian Service + Demo Center you’ll likely see yours sooner.
R1 owners get bumped up too, though Rivian’s mixing in non-owners so it’s not just current owners at the front of the line.
Got a lease ending soon? You can add it in your Rivian Account and Rivian will factor it in where it can. If it’s a Rivian lease, they’ve already got it.
Some folks are also getting picked at random for an early invite, which Rivian says helps it dial in its timing estimates.
Keep in mind your price and config aren’t locked until you confirm your order, and since the page still says 4-8 weeks after confirming in general, I’d plan around the longer number if you’re going with one of the new colors.
If you’ve already gotten your invite, let me know what color you picked and how long it took, and I’ll keep you all posted if Rivian changes anything else on this page.
Invite to order Aug 27th. Ordered launch green, black interior and 20″ AT that day. In DC. No current lease. No VIn still.
Stay positive! I ordered Aug 27th, got the invite to finalize (+ VIN) Sep 18th, and after filling things out the same day they gave me the delivery date of Sep 24th. So even if VIN takes a bit, delivery could follow quickly.

It is very strange to me that Rivian is randomly picking people who reserved recently to put their orders in. They say it helps them dial in their timelines, but I can’t think of how. A more plausible explanation, to me, is that they don’t want people to look at a long line in front of them and decide not to bother getting into it themselves. If they can dangle the possibility of a quick turnaround in front of people, maybe more will be willing to reserve?
Reservation 6/25/24, invited to order 8/26, ordered 9/1 Esker Silver, 21”, black interior, Launch edition, no other extras – no VIN as of 9/25
My friend that reserved and ordered after me (same exact build, same delivery location) just received a VIN and delivery date while I’m on week 4 of waiting on a VIN. Beyond frustrating!
