I have had my Rivian R1T as one of the original owners own launch edition group. First, while in pre-orders RJ (CEO) said there would be a drastic price increase impacting cost, stock market reaction...
Well I ordered the Quad Max Pack in 2018 $1000.00 deposit ..... Never produced it. The reordered the same truck $ 3000.00 deposit again ..... all I have asked is WHEN ..... you think that's HARSH you bet it it is along with purchasing the pre IPO max purchase and lost money on that as well...
It is based on driving record, your location and the biggy the cost to repair a RIVIAN which has been blasted all over social media and YOUTUBE channels.
No answers .... Rivian guides have no clue. No information. Lame customer service. Maybe if Scaringe looks at this site he might give a clue to one of his shareholders .... OH no wait my he does not care about selling a $ 100,000.00 + vehicle.
THIS WILL MAKE SOME OF US VERY UNHAPPY PRE ORDER HOLDERS LIKE MYSELF ..... 2018.
