so you joined a Rivian forum today just to tell everyone you are out? That almost sounds.....made up
They should have increased the price on new orders. This is crap. I feel like a sucker. Put in a R1S preorder in November and bought a decent chunk of stock. Both are now looking pretty shitty.

I wanted the 5 seats, not 7, for extra cargo space. Does anyone know if those rear seats fold flat to the floor? I'm probably out and on to the F-150.

Got the same for the R1T that I have on pre-order. In the configurator my price went from $80k and change to $90k and change. This is pretty drastic. I'm almost priced out.
Likewise, this is BS I didn’t replace my current car for 2 years thinking I’ll get a Rivian. I guess it was never meant to be.

I'm no stock wizard by any means, but aside from your general annoyance with the company as an order holder wouldn't this actually be a GOOD thing for your stock in the long run? They have pissed off a bunch of people, but they will replace those of us who maybe can't afford their vehicle now with people who can. And they will be profitable much quicker than anticipated.
I guess we're going to have to wait and see. They're supply constrained now and will be even after this sizable increase. However, if they continue to struggle to produce in volume, GM, Tesla, and Ford all have strong competitors on the way. If sales dry up as other competitors come to market, the stock price will eventually suffer. We're a long way away from affordable Rivians coming out of the Georgia factory. At least personally, if in early 2024 (when my Max pack will probably ship) I can choose between a Cybertruck Quad or Silverado EV for about the same price as the R1T, I don't think I end up with a Rivian.

Right...change my configuration to dual motor, standard range to keep the price where it is. No big deal...just wait until 2024....

First 2024 will become 2026, and by that time they would have increased the prices a few times again. But don't worry, by then they will have an option for a single motor.....and BYOB (bring your own batteries).

Fool me once!

This is so weird. Other car manufacturers are increasing prices too, but Rivian is taking it to a whole new level. I too will likely cancel my reservation. I'm not due to take delivery until 2023, so the reality for me is that I will likely see multiple price increases by then. I bet the price is over 100k by the time my Rivian is built.

No thank you Rivian. Good luck.

What Rivian should have done was release a software that will work later 'this year' and if you pay 5k you get in before the price jump.

So my very base R1S configuration went from $74,400 to $90,275

I had been looking forward to the standard range and dual-motor announcement as a way to get into the low 60s and make this easier to swing. But now, even that configuration is more expensive than what I originally pre-ordered.

To add insult to injury I had bought a few more shares at noon. At this point RIVN has cost me enough that it would have paid for most of this increase (still holding). Ouch.

One can build a similarly equipped R1T for around the same price (with the Large Battery pack and manual tonneau cover added in).
