,
Well said.
In addition to pre-order holders I have several friends and family who have heard me talk about my Rivian for almost 2 years now. I constantly get asked "do you have your electric truck yet?" and even though I remain positive in my answers, even they are losing interest and it's...
They also stuck with June deliveries right up until the May 27th email where they announced/buried a one month delay in a larger announcement.
I get delays happen and are inevitable with a launch like this, what I don't get is why their communication strategy is so poor.
I had to take family to the airport yesterday and on my way back home stopped by the Denver location. It looks like they've started tearing up the parking lot on the east side of the building (where the Rivian service center will be going in).
My very uneducated guess is this work relates to...
I haven't had a chance to go by the Denver location in a couple of weeks to check progress, however on a positive note it stands to reason that once the SC is operational we'll see deliveries in the area. There's no point in having an SC if you aren't delivering and servicing vehicles...
I'm of the same. mindset as those who have replied to my comment The delays aren't unexpected and are part of any type of mass launch on something of this magnitude. Like many others I'm only disappointed with Rivian's communication strategy around the timelines, but my disappointment isn't...
What concerns me is that even those who are "OK" with the delays aren't bullish on Rivian's timelines. I'd feel better if those who are still strong supporters were being vocal that they have faith in the current timelines.
For Colorado Rivian has announced they will be installing chargers in all 44 state parks. As others have noted, those are likely to be L2 chargers designed to charge while you're out hiking, etc.
I drove by the Denver location today, I didn't get any pictures but did see a few workers in one of the doorways. From what I could see it looked fairly empty inside but they've definitely started doing something. :)
