You need a Mac truck to withstand a deer strike. I was in a dodge Ram with a glancing blow and still dented the chrome bumper. Poor deer was limping into the woods.
If it is anything like Tesla at this moment try and stay clear. Tesla was going to give me auction price of $24K for my 2017 Mercedes C300. I sold it for $33500. This was 2 months ago. Gave me time to hold the cash and wait for the Rivian.

Only Rivian would know. There was never a mention of priority for early deposits. I would think deposits are just an estimate of those interested. When the orders open up the serious people will get taken care of and the cancellations will begin.
I mistakenly reserved the R1S and when inquired about changing I was told, and this is a quote, "We can’t make the exchange internally currently. However, not to worry, as a preorder customer, you will be able to choose either the R1T or R1S in our vehicle configurator which will be live in late...
