Couple of suggestions:
You could try renting one this winter. Or if you have a config close to mine I might buy it from you for the pre-price increase price if it doesn't work out.
Another option is you could always buy and sell it here for that price as well and make a small profit.
Dang, I wish I had a pre-price increase pre-order. I'd pick one of those up in a heartbeat! Or even split the difference with my R1S dual-motor order.
If anyone works at Rivian and has a hookup, let me know :)
I've done that on cars and bids, $69,420.
Seriously considered this R1T -- but I have an dual-motor red R1S I just confirmed last week.. I wish I could do both.
