Curious as to why people are hiding part of their number.I should have said... no.... yeah skyote is correct it's 44K.... the leading # was part of the code.... I only removed the last 3 and replaced with ###..

All true, and excellent points.July 10, 2020
Order #53297 R1S
I work in databases (not at Rivian), its worth noting that this number is likely an AUTO_INCREMENT on a primary key for all pre-orders. It means:
- This number is shared between R1T and R1S preorders. Depending on production order, you might 'skip the queue'.
- This number doesn't reflect canceled pre-orders
- Rivian may use a different priority?? Up to them.
- It is an EXACT count of preorders taken (not including refunds).
Makes them feel better from a privacy perspective. Not statistically material to the dataset though...I've just plugged in "50" for a lot of the "XX" in order to have a point for trending.Curious as to why people are hiding part of their number.
Very good point!! Rivian did say that they would fill the larger battery orders and top trim levels first.July 10, 2020

Where are you getting that attrition rate from? That is indeed significant. Also should mention I'm in for the R1S and not the truck, so I wonder if that still means production before Aug 2022 ...Dude, if there was 10K attrition by Dec '19, and there is some level of attrition outside of that, then you should be produced in the first year.
There was a media report of 10K preorders as of December 2019. The *gross* number of preorders at that time was just shy of 20K, so there is a possibility that 10K number cited was remaining/active preorders.Where are you getting that attrition rate from?

This stems from a number stated in an article published in Dec 2109 without any reference to a date in regards to the number of preorders. So an article written at some unknown time (but published in December) with a 10K number from an unnamed source and with no time reference has been treated like an official announcement from Rivian that they had exactly 10,000 orders in December of 2019.Where are you getting that attrition rate from?

Absent of facts, it's human nature to make assumptions and try to figure things out. We're left with a lot of "if" and "maybe", but I'm OK with that and enjoy considering possibilities.This stems from a number stated in an article published in Dec 2109 without any reference to a date in regards to the number of preorders.

It would also actually be totally in character for Rivian to say 10K if they had something like 17K on the books
Yeah, I was thinking maybe that was a block of the first Amazon Vans.I'm really starting to wonder if there were either some fleet orders (or "artificial"/reset jumps) in December 2019 and May 2020.
Maybe, but I would think those would be accounted for separately from R1T/S preorders. It's anyone's guess at this point...Yeah, I was thinking maybe that was a block of the first Amazon Vans.
I did the same thing first #idiotsuniteThanks I was using inspect element instead of view source code. Can confirm, am an idiot.
