No offence to you but this is the crap that has pissed me off today. I ordered Dec 4, 2018 and have the same window. These guys are total amateur hour.
The reality of lessons learned. Rivian is essentially only producing handmade prototypes at the moment and that's without making any R1S units. They'll need to average 1000 units a week for 2 years to get preorders out by end of 2023. It's kind of silly to think that's remotely possible.
Dude. I reserved in December 2018 and have basically heard nothing in 3 years. Where are you getting those 'expectation' dates from?! Give or take I am 50K trucks ahead of you in the line and based on what I am hearing and seeing do not expect my R1TA Max until well, well into 2023, maybe 2024...
I don’t think that’s far off at all. Perhaps even tight. 2022 is all LE deliveries so really there are no non LE trucks until 2023. There are 50K orders ahead of this guy? There is no way in hell they build 50K trucks in 23/24. Just won’t happen. I ordered Dec 2018 and can’t see me getting...
I had no idea to be honest and then coincidentally I saw an email from them on their upcoming banking changes. MS and Etrade will al be one soon I guess.
As you point out, most EVs going forward are going to be very similar on spec. Huge HP and torque, OTA updates, suspension, autonomy etc.
Rivian for me is more about the vibe and the ethos of the company (RJ). I've had my Model X for 5 years and was one of the first Model 3s in NJ. I love Tesla...
