If you ordered a Rivian R2 in Forest Green, you're not alone in waiting. Of 278 Forest Green R2s linked to the owner-run tracker Roamer, 239, or 86%, were still waiting for a vehicle identification number (VIN) on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2026, while 22 had one and 17 had been delivered, EV (eletric-vehicles.com) reported. Rivian told a prominent R2 tracker there is "nothing to report" on the color.
How Forest Green compares
- Catalina Cove, the most popular color with 770 tracked orders, was 64.8% delivered, and Launch Green (548 orders) was 64.1% delivered, EV reported.
- Forest Green is 11% of the 2,516 R2s on Roamer but 33% of the 725 orders still waiting for a VIN, according to EV.
- Roamer lists the median wait from order to VIN for Forest Green as "43+ days" (the plus means the figure isn't settled yet), against a 34-day median across all tracked orders.
- On Thursday, Oct. 22, Roamer's live page showed 284 Forest Green orders: 241 waiting, 25 with a VIN and 18 delivered.
Roamer counts only R2s whose owners link their Rivian accounts, not every vehicle Rivian has built.
What Rivian says
X user RivianTrackr said he asked Rivian about "any delays or issues" after several buyers contacted him, and that "the official statement from Rivian is that there's nothing to report on R2 in Forest Green," EV reported. He did not publish the email.
Rivian's support page still quotes 8 to 12 weeks from order confirmation for Forest Green, Borealis and Coastal Cloud, versus 4 to 8 weeks for most other builds, so the data don't yet show Rivian missing its own estimate. EV calculated that an order confirmed on Aug. 19 would hit the 12-week mark around Nov. 11. A Rivian Forums thread on Forest Green delays, opened Oct. 6, now runs to more than a dozen pages, with some owners reporting VINs finally showing up.
