I wouldn’t mind going down to the dual motor but don’t want to wait til 2024. Guess I will see if Ford or Rivian comes knocking first and go from there.

When I preordered early 2019 the electrochromic (sp?) dimming roof was still a thing. The amount of things silently changed and removed has me questioning the overall integrity of Rivian. I am sure the engineers are miserable having to answer to the cost accountants and cut out awesome features left and right.

It will be interesting to see if they can maintain 80% of their sales with this 20-25% price hike, otherwise total potential revenue will be down which is an overall fail.

I think it's more naivety than integrity. Unless you want to argue integrity being them just saying 'sorry it's not possible here's your money we're done'. Elon said all along that manufacturing is the hard part.

more odd-ness, while logged in my Rivian page pushed price for a non-LE R1S that I reserved a couple months ago up about $16K but my LE-R1T ordered mid-2020 (with a May-June window) did not yet change price.

Fingers-crossed..... ?

Us LE order holders really get screwed 85k come on. We can down grade to lower trims to try and meet a dollar amount but does that put you in the back of the line again. I feel so insulted by this move. I have to take a dramatic drop from what I've been expecting and waiting for years to get. or get out.

And I just cancelled my Cybertruck reservation yesterday.

 

[TXKidd]

Well, this is, uh, ouch ?

 

[E.S.]

But I'm getting it in 22 weeks, not 2024.

With all sincerity, I truly hope you do. Alas, Rivian is still too new to handle its current demands.

 

[Scoiatael]

I actually had a cybertruck reservation as a joke because it's so fvcking ugly. But not so much anymore, go Tesla

I've had a cybertruck reservation for a couple years. I still doubt it'll ever be built.

 

[Spiffster]

If y'all are thinking the Cybertruck is still gonna start at 39k, you're in for more disappointment.
But you can always put in a reservation for the Lightning, wait at least 2 more years and pray that doesnt increase in price.

 

[Fes]

I guess this means I'll be looking elsewhere from other EV providers, either that or cash out my Rivian stock to help off-set the price increase. ?

hah— the stock is down. You prepared to take a loss there too and pay more for your truck?

 

[Guy]

This doesn't math out if the vehicle wasn't profitable before the price hike.

Profitability is not the issue here. They can absorb the “loss” for existing order holders and increase it for new holders. The % increase and timing sucks. No one expects them to make a profit in the next few years. Tesla took over ten years.

My 2c...

I'd rather see them raise prices than go out of business.

However, treating the early birds like this is really bad practice IMO. You were all cheer leaders and influencers and that helped bolster their brand. At MINIMUM, they should have made YOUR price increases far less than for future reservation holders -- Maybe half as much.

I honestly think this is going to bite them in the butt at some point. I believe they poisoned the well. (Too many mixed metaphors? ? )

Way to Go Brandon!

Inflation is worldwide, not a US thing.

Well at least I saved $50 by ordering my Cargo Crossbars from the Gear Shop in November. Now they're $500, I got them for $450!
