Per my previous post... 1. I did not think other vehicles with my build would be available at the same time 2. I did not think the price of the same build would be available for a lower price.
The only thing you should be mad about is not the money, shit goes on sale all the time. You should be mad that you are waiting for a truck while Rivian is skipping you and putting them in the shop. I don’t know why any new vehicles are hitting the shop until custom orders are fulfilled.
Not sure I’m following. You committed to buy. It happens all the time when there are promos and people afterwards get a better deal. It’s a risk we all face when buying things or services. Rivian, like every other company, put out offers to attract new ones, not further satisfy locked in sales.
I just layed out what is going on. I disagree this particular situation “happens all the time”. Look at what Tesla did with the CT. They exhausted their foundation series deliveries before offering others options. I sense a bit of Rivian bias rather than helping customers be aware.
Tesla is an excellent example of it happening all the time. They arbitrarily lower the prices of their vehicles all the time and don't give customers credit who just picked them up before the price reduction. Let alone this NOT being a price reduction at all, it's a promotion you do not qualify for.
Lower prices yes…undercut current orders no…again I see bias
Call it want you want…you get the vehicle for a lower price
I am doing this to make other customers aware of my situation so they can maybe be better informed. Maybe my “antics” will help customers.
That was honestly what I was confused about. Why not fulfill an order rather than offering the same build to the general public? I’m guessing it’s lack of system coordination. Frankly, if Rivian was pushing out custom builds before putting them in the shop, it would address OPs concern: he wouldn’t see his exact build being offered for cheaper because he would have his in his driveway.
No I don’t. I have a shop order and 3k down same as you, I’m just not complaining about it.
Again, it’s a promotion for new orders. It’s not a lower price across the board. It’s not an undercut, it’s essentially a coupon that you didn’t qualify for.
Semantics…selective price reduction
Selective being the operative word in that sentence. You understand the purpose of that coupon correct? It’s to attract new buyers. Why should Rivian give a coupon to attract a buyer they already attracted and why should you be angry over it when you were compelled to order at the price you did?
A coupon can undercut an existing price agreement.!! Clearly you are bias!!!!
