Personally, even though I'm disappointed with the progress and zero information about R1S. In reality prefer well built vehicles rather than inferior product to meet the deadlines.
Rivian will be a public company s00n and they have to answer shareholders. So we can expect decent ramp up. My...

Our First Mile Event Tour is finally here. As a preorder holder, you’ll have an all-access pass to experiences featuring the R1T.
You’ll be able to drive an R1T on a specially...
Personally, in my case sooner If I can get my LE R1S sooner is better. I'm happy about the First Mile event in Normal but frustrates me that there is no updates about other locations.
Also, if they can start delivering R1T s00ner to real customers, it would address the bad press from media...
I'm not a Rivian fanboy, seems Bloomberg hates Rivian. Their review was bit sarcastic and now this article. Note: Its behind paywall and haven't read the article.
I seriously doubt LE orders are greater than 5K. My guess is its somewhere between 2000-5000 not more than 5000. Feel even 5000 is very high number to carry the LE badge.
I would love to have my LE R1S in December but my guess is sometime in Feb/Mar.
1. GM, Ford, Hyundai, and Kia reservations are just $100 deposit where as with Rivian its $1000 deposit so they have lot more serious buyers. Also, personally feel ~50K preorder is very strong for a startup with no brand recognition. I'm sure after the recent media reviews they would have had...
Rivian not using production builds for these events and test drives is a smart move. As time goes by, for sure Rivian will have production builds for test drives.
This forum is amazing!! I don't have google R

Software Enabled Services. We assume the LTR opportunity from software to be $15,500. This is comprised of autonomous driving capabilities of $10,000, and a monthly subscription plan for infotainment, connectivity, diagnostics...
In one of the articles read pricing is between $50-70K based on trim levels and the range for AWD is around 240 miles. Range isn't impressive but has super fast charging.
Feel Kia EV6 may be better option.
I had white LE-R1S after seeing reviews wife asked me to change it to Blue. Blue looks awesome and unique. I really don't like to pay extra for paint option, and also upcoming EV tax credit final bill will play big role in what color I chose.
Tbc, I admire Elon Musk and have great respect for him.
My biggest gripe is he couldn't fix build quality issues so he convinced people to accept poor workmanship. Also, I hate him for bringing subscription crap to automobile business and about over promise and under deliver. Everyone is...
