I donāt think itās a matter of being wrong. I think most people logically thought that Launch Edition Green would be the first color produced. The way they have kept the color such a secret only added to the mystery and still does.
Donāt forget this Forum maybe reaches 10% of Reservation holders and not everyone on the Forum is going to report. So whatever number of people reporting they were contacted can be multiplied by at least 10. As an example look at any of the Polls on the Forum and what a small percentage of...
What I meant was it is the Length and Width of an X5 and the height of an X6. I realize itās a totally new Car that hopefully gets delivered in early 2022. I Will purchase either the RIS or the BMW iX whichever comes first.
SORRY I WAS NOT WRONG. I just thought RIVIAN was a different company from the rest of the World. I was just off by 3-6 months. Iām ordering a BMW iX(X5 ELECTRIC)on 6/1 when the order window opens. Delivery 3-4/22.
They did a good job of hiding the delay in all of the info dumped this morning. It sure does look like a 3-6 month delay without calling it a delay. If you quickly read the long e mail this morning you could have easily missed the fact that some LE holders will not see their Vehicles until 6/22...
This is a major delivery delay, without actually saying It, that is sort of hidden with everything else. Whereas they had communicated that LE Edition would be complete by 12/31/21 now itās Spring. As you said that could mean up to 6/22 delivery. I think for some of us later Reservation holders...
There is no way they will be delayed. They will ship 100-200 units in June so they can stay on track. They obviously have a different philosophy from the other Auto Mfgās and do things in their own way. This is why a lot of us are so excited about the Company. Everything they have done, except...
So if you were contacted as late as June 15th and live in LA or Chicago you would still have your RIT before the end of June. It takes no more than 3-5 days to ship a Car to Ca. Also, while you said you would be concerned if Guides donāt reach out by next week there is nothing any of us can do...
Iām not sure what the concern is as if they reach out in early June they can certainly ship Vehicles ten days later. As someone previously said you can go into any Dealership and buy a Car and have it ready the next day. Even if youāre Financing it you can have it within a week or less. We all...
Itās unrealistic to think anything will steal attention from the Ford Electric Truck. Very few people know anything about RIVIAN. This is due to the popularity of the F-150 and the dismal marketing of RIVIAN. While everyone on this Forum is obviously excited about RIVIAN the average person knows...
Interesting note from someone on the other Forum
āI spoke to CJ at Rivian yesterday, (May 11th) and asked what was going on. I am a very early adopter, Nov 29th, 2018, and hoped to be one of the first to get mine. He said that my guide should contact me soon, but could not say when. I asked...
Why do they need to communicate the exact specs to their Customers? Canāt think of one good reason other than a normal company would communicate as much about their product as they can. It might help sell the product. While RIVIAN may have enough orders for the first year that will not always be...
You are in the top 10% of Reservation Holders based on your date. Plus obviously LA will be an early delivery period. If they can make 10% of their Launch RITās in the first 45 days you should see it in July. Iām presuming they donāt start making anything until after 6/15. The only other...
I reserved a RIS on 9/10/20. I figure I will get the car in mid Nov. Here is my simple calculation only using Reservation dates ( I realize there are other factors).
According to the other Forum there are reservations for 217 RIS LE. I excluded duplicate orders entered, Canada and Hawaii. This...
I agree with you about the number of pre-orders. Iām not aware of many people, on this Forum, stating they they tried to get an LE when the system opened up ordering and were unable to get one. If they had more than 20,000 total orders (of which 10,000 people actually ordered an LE) they would...
Why do people think that RIVIAN, two months out from deliver date, has not officially announced what the mileage equals? Forget about the 400 mile range( which may never happen) will the first delivery get 280-300 miles in normal driving? Also will they deliver 100 RITās in June so they can meet...
