You can price it out with the configurator including options. No ability to submit it though, but it's a good start!

Edit: Per comments below, you will need to add $1,495 destination fee and applicable state tax to get your final total.

I wonder if that is waived for factory pickup?

it is not. Destination is mandatory

That actually proves my point. Rivian started leasing November 27, 2023. Therefore those leases won't be coming to term until the end of the year at the very earliest. Anyone who is in line for an R2 who is one of those current lease holders will probably get pushed back if they intend on swapping their vehicles.

All I'm saying is that it could actually open up more early spots. We just don't know and Rivian hasn't said anything to confirm.

Gotcha, I didn't realize that there are no Rivian leases ending soon!

Hope is restored!

speaking to a Rivian sales rep about a month ago, they confirmed that if you have less than a year left on your Rivian lease, they will allow you to buy it out, then apply that credit toward an R2

That gives them up to a year leeway and doesn't imply priority.

If we look at Tesla, Porsche and other manufacturers, priority is given to previous owners, not lease holders. My guess is that Rivian wants the data more than the ability to prioritize. They likely want to know what numbers they need to hit to satisfy demand after the initial launch. According to the data, only 10-30% of reservation holders will convert.

Based on paintgate, I think those of us who want one will probably get one.

Out of curiosity, did you click through the update lease button? There is an option that says I’m not leasing.

LE can come with Borealis and Coastal Cloud! You just have to wait long enough for them to be released AND for LE to still be available... Here's to hoping!

We were at the Palo Alto block party yesterday. Talked to several hosts. None could confirm that Coastal Cloud, when it comes, will be available in the launch edition package. Black interior is a deal breaker for me, I’m afraid. If the LE interior only comes in black, I’ll wait to see what comes later this year.

Yes, that's what I chose and felt like I was getting de-prioritized for not having a lease that ends soon.

We were at the Palo Alto block party yesterday. I talked with several of the hosts. No one could confirm that the Coastal Cloud interior, whenever it comes, will be available in the LE package. Unfortunately, a black interior in our climate would be a deal breaker.

or prioritized because you can take delivery right away. You can see this either way

As discussed earlier, that would only be true if there wasn't a ramp/limited volume or true if delivery volume is larger than leases ending soon. Even if delivery volume exceeds leases ending soon, it can only limit the pool of availability/volume for everyone else.

In any case the wording clearly states it considers leases ending soon (including 3P non Rivian leases) not anything else.

Another factor in the disappointment is it seems like there may be a lot of people stretching to get themselves into an R2, especially on Reddit.

Lots of people stretching themselves to buy anything right now, thanks to an economy that's propped up by an impending "AI" bubble and getting battered by tariffs.

And while I love Reddit for more local stuff, it's not exactly the best barometer for what the average person thinks or does. It's filled with extremes in the userbase.

The price is the price, unless you want the discount for silver, which they can produce in more volume.

That silver with stealth PPF is going to look so solid (of course, that would cost even more than $2k)

It would be nice if they offered like a "deferred order", where your option to buy comes up, you can order options not immediately available, but you get into the queue (so an "allocated" build) with an LE model. Like even if that required a $1K non-refundable payment, I'm sure a lot of folks would jump on that.
