Same boat with a March pre-order. My configuration shows 6k for the quad and 6k for the large pack. Other items increased in cost as well before may 2022.
I want a Platinum but was just offered a LAriat (2023) by my local dealer as someone ahead of me in line backed-out. The build sheet shows the heated steering wheel being deleted and when I inquired about who in their right might up here in the great white north would do that I was told that Ford did it to all builds due to a chip shortage. It also showed -$140 for that option on the price sheet.
Tough to believe that line. It seems more likely this move is a means to silently raise prices.
I'm guessing you have a Max on order? Were you offered access to the R1T?
I agree that Rivian is highly unlikely to change its policy wrt the pre-March reservation pricing. IMO, it's more likely that the R1T Max will be offered only in dual-motor configuration. It doesn't seem to make sense to throw engineering resources at a quad max, given that orders for it are only about 1/5 of Rivian's initial reservations backlog (about 10,000 vehicles, which would represent less than 9% of the new 114,000 order figure.) If the dual-motor only thing does happen, I suspect that pre-March Max reservations will be void since there was no pricing for a dual-motor at that time. I'd also expect that in that case, Rivian will allow you to change to the R1T or R1S LR at the pre-March pricing.
Not to mention the ADM that the dealers will add to the price once they have it on their lot. Pre-order or not, it's very rare to get a Lightning at MSRP.
this is just not true, at least not in my area.
What area are you from? Seriously, these are just a couple of examples of a $25,000 and $20,000
My nearby dealers are small and not marking up Lightnings. I would never deal with Kunes for any vehicle based on stories I've heard. I suppose Kunes feels it can charge ADM as it seems to have inventory while other dealers are handling orders. I wonder if these are mannequins. One of the Madison dealers has an ADM but again it is a dealer I would never purchase from anyway.What area are you from? Seriously, these are just a couple of examples of a $25,000 and $20,000ADM.
I am not sure if I would at this point. A lot of promises made and not kept. The vehicles are a great value proposition at 76,000. 93,000 probably fair value but I don't know if it is a good value. I know people should expect early adopter, etc., but if other 93,000 vehicles don't come with any of these hiccups, then that is relevant. Of course the whole reason I have been waiting is because I want electric and I want a three row suv so that cuts against everything else I just said.
They’re not selling at that price. The current starting price for the vehicles in production now (quad motor R1T) is 87,000.
good points. I guess my willingness to paying the current price is in light of what else is out there... which will be changing quickly.
Well, it depends upon the increase, We have a reservation, but it all feels mythical --like I am waiting on a unicorn...
