These incentives don’t come for no reason. Maybe Rivian should revert to pre-March-2022 pricing. I think they’ve all but exhausted the pre-March-2022 reservations, and there is a shortage of those who are willing to pay the new price. I have no proof, just a speculation.

I’m certainly on the fence with the new pricing on the CCS-charge-port R1 when the CyberTruck is about to be released. I’m sitting on my hands, not locking my R1S preorder, and I can get an R1S from the Rivian shop delivered to me within a week of locking the order.

Maybe they should consider the number of people who research on the internet and see all the horror stories of service?

I have to believe it is affecting sales.

Perhaps this explains the wall charger orphaned at The Count's abode? The new business model.

FYI, GM/Chevy covered the cost of installing a 240v EVSE when I purchased my Chevy Bolt.

Same here. Was almost ready to pull the trigger a year ago but had no access to do so. Now I've waited a year and can wait another to see what competitors come, what the '24 updates are, and if they start cutting prices. May take a bit for R1S to catch up but I think it'll get there.

I just cancelled my pre-order and they definitely tried to steer me to holding the reservation. I then also got an email after I cancelled offering a number of vehicles in the store for quick delivery. Demand is softening.

I don't think there are a lot of people who can and want to spend $90k for an EV truck when an R1S seems more useful. Combine that with how many people actually plan on taking their vehicles off pavement and R1T definitely a niche vehicle.

I don't know what the R2 specs are, but smaller/less powerful/less off-road capable/cheaper will probably appeal to the masses.

Now you just need the $2k check. I’d be asking my guide in the morning. If I were you.
