I'm in the exact same boat. Right now I have LG/BM but the black is too dark and the lighter interior looks too light. No doubt the wood trim is the FE is incredible. I'm less sold on all of the upholstery. In some of the earlier pictures I saw it just looked like too much green. Some of the...
True - the rules could be different in 2022. And it's possible the credits could be higher. Or it's possible, to your point, that they could disappear entirely. Either way, part of my justification is the tax credit in 2021. 2022 delivery changes the equation.
Plus... And this is a big one for me... If I take delivery in 2021 it goes on my 2021 taxes and I get the $7500 in March-ish. If I take delivery in January it's 2022 taxes and that month delay has me paying for the truck a full year prior to the tax credit.
Ha! Deal. 110% fair. Like I've mentioned previously, I think a lot of people scrambling like that to find info is because Rivian isn't super forthcoming with the info. So us passionate people are digging for it wherever we can.
@747 Whalewatcher @DB-EV - guys... like others have asked... take pictures, post videos. Can't wait to hear about it. Don't forget about us little people while you're all test driving the Rivian like a big deal and stuff. :)
Agree to disagree on both of these accounts. Sure, we all know they can't magically produce 48K vehicles at once, but we've also been led to believe that LE is exclusive, it's coming earlier, etc. So, hey, it's only for employees, its a pretty big caveat, imo. And you see things differently...
I have no issue admitting that I'm looking at many of RJ's statements to help gauge my delivery timeline. That's the same reason I'm looking and listening to other people's experience - I'd like more of an idea than what I'm getting from Rivian right now.
I will disagree on the first statement...
Only comment I'll add to the thoughtful and respectful discussion between @cc84 and @DucRider - I thought I specifically recalled, although I can't find a record of it now, a comment RJ had made months ago that said employees wouldn't be prioritized. That he and all of the other employees would...
We've got people searching for people's home addresses from photo data and complaining about events and locations due to proximity to homeless populations and *I'm* the one making it weird?... Juuuuust sayin'.
Well, back in April 2020 they told me it would be out later in the year...
And then they told me the same in July 2020:
And then they got tired of me asking about it:
I'm a 12/18 preorder holder and I'm in the same boat. I got a few things at the owners event in Atlanta that I was invited to a couple of years ago but only the art print sent to me.
