I'm supposed to be April/May and as of yet no contact from guide. Getting a little anxious because I'm trying to coordinate delivery with my need for a vehicle mid to late May, we'll see???? I also changed my interior from ocean to black based on posts that ocean will delay delivery.
Beside the leaking fluid issue it looks awesome and love the LE green which is what I have on order. Keep us posted as to your experience with Rivian service.
If you are a trader the sentiment right now is very bearish. If you are a long term investor I would start buying or add to positions. If the product is as good as the reviews the company will flourish and once production ramps up the stock will follow. Also once some sort of enhanced EV...
As part of Rivian's quarterly report to stockholders it said it would "sharply curtail it's factory output due to supply-chain disruptions". I wonder how far back that will push my R1T LE ordered in 2019, starting to also wonder if it is worth the wait?
I actually had a feeling that there might be pricing issues down the road so I did print out my original confirmation. I originally ordered the ocean coast interior which was included in the LE package at N/C. Under new pricing it was an extra $2,000 so I cancelled and went to black but...
Obviously when folks get their delivery date and the final invoice I'm sure the pricing will be carefully checked to make sure it is as originally ordered, if not most including me will cancel.
I did not cancel my order but was planning to as soon as I was contacted by a Rivian guide. My increase came to 14% and was not acceptable. As a preorder holder since 2019 and stock investor (Rivian down 6.5% this morning) I think R. J. made the right decision for the long term reputation of the...
When my dad was in sales and a customer would ask him "is this the latest I can get" his standard reply was "wait until the day before you die to buy and that will be the latest you can get"..
As I continue to wait for my launch edition R1T (ordered 12/19) I go back and forth as to a final decision, wait or cancel. The pros and cons are constantly being debated in my head, a new and expensive product from a new manufacturer VS a state of the art promise of the future of electric...
Excellent review of build quality from a trained eye and I would say pretty impressive for a brand new vehicle from a brand new manufacturer. I had my 2019 Tesla 3 detailed recently from another detailing pro who said he thought build quality and paint quality on the Tesla's are on par with an...
I have a Tesla model 3 performance and by far the best vehicle I have ever owned and I have owned a lot of cars! Bottom line If you end up with a Tesla you won't be disappointed. I have a deposit on the R1S 12/2019 because I am trying to get down to two vehicles one for me one for my wife...
Good points made by all, as usually the case it becomes a decision that meets ones comfort level and risk tolerance. If you have unlimited funds then the economic risk would be negligible. If you have to take on a second mortgage to make the purchase a totally different story. I own a model 3...
Rivian is planning an IPO sometime in 4Q 2021 or 1Q 2022 according to some sources. Obviously Ford and Amazon as well as other early investors would like to hit their elephant. That said I agree Rivian seems to be to be more methodical and diligent than the others....
According to the WSJ a number of EV and EV battery startups that went public all hit snags missing their IPO projections, much harder than than it looks...
No worries DuckTruck as I am fairly comfortable with Rivian also, I was just trying to gage peoples perspective as I know there will be a number of depositors who will not go through with the purchase for various reasons. I wonder what % of canceled orders Rivian puts in their projections?
Anyone else concerned about buying an expensive EV vehicle from startup (remember Fisker)? I have my deposit on a launch edition RTS but keep thinking about having the hope and faith in a brand new company albeit the large investment from Amazon and Ford.
