This not not a thing. They are not losing money on all of these orders just making a lot less in margin.

The economy is taking a hit. They need these pre-orders to start bringing in cash and showing progress to the street. Not building the vehicles would cost the company more than the discounted prices.

They also need to build them to show the suppliers they are worthy of focus for some of the still limited supply items. There are also most likely quotas in their parts orders to get specific pricing.

It is frustrating but everyone is struggling with deliveries right now. GM just extended their window out another year on building 400k EVs to be into 2024 now.
Look at raw material prices and the complexity of what they’ve made. The my ARE losing money on every one they sell for the original price. And they’ll go bankrupt because of it.

I’m curious; for the folks who have taken delivery what’s the time between first contact from Rivian CS and actual delivery ?

Last delivery estimate from Rivian was Oct-Dec 2022.
Now it's "Processing Estimate"

Ouch... At least I went from not having a window to still not having a window. This hurts

Same here...well, maybe there will be a bunch of cool new features by then, and they'll have worked most of the kinks out.
Or they'll have stripped more and more from it, so they save $$$ on deliveries. Oh but hey, we'll get OTA updates!

If you say so, guess they are doomed like how Tesla was supposed to go bankrupt for a decade.

Truck delivery time ain't too bad. SUV delivery time ain't so good.

I like your take on it mate! Mine is a 2/22 order. I was originally told "after 2023" and I was planning on 2033 but was pleasantly surprised to see 1/24-12/24 date. That is almost a decade earlier! I take my first-world problems in strides. I would have loved to have the car sooner but as you have so nicely pointed out-a delay might actually be good.

Why are some configurations "confirmed". While others have configuration "complete", and some just say "configured"

I am going to predict anything, but why would they bother filling orders, that I believe, they lose money on each order? Are they a charity? They are giving every single pre-price hike order holder $20k. That is absurd as a business. And now many of those people not only are getting $20k, they are upset now (or a significant bunch).

Silliness.

Maybe the right move to only delay pre-price people, and see if they would like to pay more for their spot back. If they walk, they walk. Faster or a $20k discount? I don't know but the whole process seems absurd.
