What did the hiring manager say that was not reassuring. You should not take the job and tell them why. They need to be hit on multiple levels to realize they fucked up.

So many of you here make me realize the mental health crisis in America right now. Harassing CS people. Burning Rivian letters. Hiding your Rivian Gear. Telling others you’ll attack their Rivians. Seek Help.
Right? Like, it’s totally understandable to be pissed off. But calling people who still want their trucks “scabs” or threatening/implying that your truck will be damaged as some petty act of vandalism is just low

Be pissed off, but be rational about it. Burning letters or harassing other customers/CS reps is just low

White paint was "included". Now it's a $1500 upgrade. I guess the price of white paint has skyrocketed. I wonder how much steering wheels have gone up????

I joined this site late in the cycle. Excited to connect with people. I was shocked at the drama, the entitled nature, and really the flat out idiotic takes by people.

Then yesterday, it went to a level I can’t even explain. I showed posters to my GF and my family as I’m visiting my rents in FL this week and it’s been nothing but shock at the behavior.

We’re doomed.

Amen. Don't forget the one who said they literally cried over the price increase.

So many spoiled, entitled whiners here who think the world revolves around them because they were "loyal". And even if they were "loyal" (because apparently "loyalty" = posting on Internet forums) to a corporation then that's a really messed-up way to go through life.

Get a grip, people.

@rivianfan1, I agree with the other poster. I would not let this questionable act from the c suite affect your hiring outcome. No company is perfect. That being said I would maybe take a few extra minutes to read the term 'cause at this point I trust them about as far as I can throw them.

More than 16% price increase after years of waiting. Order cancelled.

Customer service said..."May I ask why you've decided to cancel your order...I've successfully cancelled your preorder and you'll receive a confirmation email shortly. In addition, you'll receive your refund in 5-10 business days to the original payment method. "

What's been most surprising to me has been the implication of fraud, actual malicious intent, and morally corrupt behavior by Rivian employees and RJ.

This is a business that is trying to do something incredibly difficult in an incredibly difficult time. They have to make difficult decisions. It happens. It's like the scene from The Godfather: "It's not personal, it's just business."

Right…look at what’s happening in the world right now.

if suddenly you can’t afford the car you might have already been stretched on, how about instead of attacking people, you realize how lucky you are to be where you are in life.

To be honest I've been following your messages on this thread and you're a d*ck to people.

You have the nerve to bring up people's mental health when a lot more is happening in this world that can be effecting emotions here than what meets the eye.

How is being a realist a dick? Did I threaten people? Nope. Did I burn things. Nope. Did I say I was going to harass employees? Nope.


Back away from the emotions of this.

I’ll be honest, I’m shocked at the behavior of grown adults here.

Sure, lets. I didn’t burn anything tonight and I didn’t tell someone that I would attack them over a car purchase. How about you?

Isn't The Godfather a story about morally corrupt people?

For the most part it's just a lot of people who are upset and expressing their frustration after patiently standing by and supporting Rivian in spite of countless communication (and other) gaffes over the last 2-3 years. There's certainly a few folks here who have overstepped some boundaries but find me another 88 page thread where that doesn't happen. On the opposite end of the spectrum we're bound to also get a few trolls like you.
