Very fair point. I should have been more clear about it being relative to the other new options that are out there in EV land ;-)

As I've been thinking more and more about it, I'm thrilled where the pricing came in for the R1S, but want a sanity check from this (albeit biased) board. I originally thought I'd be canceling my R1A reservation since I was certain the first ones would require $100k+ optioning...and obviously I...

April 2019 preorder and just got the link 5 minutes ago - quick and done since not much in the way of options to choose for the R1S.

Just cancelled my Mach E preorder today...so I'm down to the R1S and the Cybertruck. Based on what I can see here I'm probably around 10k in line from an order number perspective (4/17/19), whereas I'm about 2,200 for the Cybertruck (I ordered as fast as I could when the address went up during...

Assuming we can get something in this relative price range and configuration around the time my pre-order is deliverable (whenever April 2019 pre-orders are ready) I’d be stoked. I agree with you wholeheartedly around the value proposition and would personally much rather have the go anywhere...

I hadn’t thought of that - it makes sense. I do wonder, with the Tesla juggernaut being what it is, and increasing options from mainstream brands, how many people will want to pay six figures for a brand new car from a (relatively) new company. I guess an extra couple billion in the bank helps...

Makes me feel better about the staying power of the company to be sure...perhaps they won’t feel obligated to launch with nothing but the highest end trims with this level of runway added to the balance sheet.

That's news to me. RN's seem to be highly correlated to when people placed their deposits, and presumably would (roughly) be the order in which they make the cars available to reservation holders (I'm sure some exceptions apply). What makes you think the RN number has nothing to do with when...

112746xxx. Considering many early adopters seem to be leaning toward the tri motor I’m hoping my dual motor is even closer to the front.

I pre-ordered my R1S back in April, but I also took a run at the Cybertruck and pre-ordered the dual motor a minute after Elon announced the pre-order web address...so I’m pretty early in line. My biggest Rivian question is what will the actual selling price of the early R1S’s be? Are they...

I know it's apple and oranges, but I'm suspecting the first batch of R1S's will be similar to, if not more than, the Black Label PHEV that comes in around $90k fully loaded. I've been eyeing it for a long time, and sat in a Black Label (not PHEV) at Fashion Island, and it is freaking nice...

Want an SUV for carpool duties and taking the kids. camping. R1S fits the bill with 7 seats and solid range. As cool as it was the R1T wasn’t even a consideration. A Model X could probably work, but really want something off-road worthy in the event we go down that path :-)

So funny you say this. The more reading I’ve done on the concept of the “hedonic treadmill” the more I know you are 100% right. We all have our baseline level of happiness, and no matter the car we buy or the stuff we have, we’ll inevitably revert to that place. So...spending $100k on a Rivian...
