Sorry, but en email on 5/27 stating this and individuals contacted the next day 5/28, no way they based their first contacts on those finalized preorders, it would have been days or likely weeks before that
But therein lies the problem, a preorder LE configuration is not an order, some may not have changed their configuration since the deposit, some may have changed configuration multiple times just to see a different final product. Were we explicitly informed to confirm a hard or final...
I live in that NE, I’ll be glad to see others finally receiving their trucks as they pass by on I-80, but annoyed that your place in line and the timing of your reservation deposit could mean nothing
They decreased the LE starting price to $73k to account for the difference for those who don’t want it, so with the add on it’s still the same $75k
Maybe they’ll surprise us all and deliver R1Ts to a select few, hopefully not just insiders, next week who kept the lid shut about being contacted by a guide already this month. That would blow this up. Wishful thinking
I’ve decided to edit my LE R1T on a daily basis with all sorts of configurations, maybe Rivian will think that I’m cool with any and all configurations and contact me first to purchase ?
Well that would be a fail if it’s 279 mile range with the 135 kWh pack, for years advertising 300+ and also initialing claiming the max pack would be available at launch, and now that’s not true and potential range estimate below 300, ugh. If true I’m waiting for the max pack for sure, was...
The idea of a car dealership is so antiquated, in the age of instant purchases online and the vast amount of information available to a buyer, the middleman in a car sale is not necessary. The simple fact that 2 people buying the exact same car the same day can pay thousands of $ difference in...
Maybe it has to do with which model you initially reserved first, I believe I initially made a R1S reservation but later changed to the R1T. Just another wrinkle....
Would make complete sense they serve 1.6 mil people a day. Though wouldn’t surprise me if politics plays a part, Haslem is a big Republican fundraiser type and it’s oil and petroleum.
I still have hope, with the Launch Edition it already limits configurations, and there are only 3 interior options, Forest Edge likely the rarest option and this likely limits the exterior color selection. I don’t think the $5k camp stove slide out will be a popular add on either and this may...
I mean more of a push towards universal use and charging standards, lose the need for any need adapters and allow maximum charging efficiency and speed no matter the location. There are Federal standards for every fuel pump and fuel tank, standards on fuel composition, should be the same for...
