Cuz this is the same crap that they did with the Gen 1s and it was not appreciated by a lot of people who bought them and it's a crappy thing to do the customers you claim to value.
When your entire company is riding on the release of 1 model, it's really stupid to disincentivize people from...
Then they should either accelerate the chip production to be the same release time or provide some kind of path to upgrade, even if its a paid option.
The only reason to do it this way is because they value profits over their customers. What they're basically saying to me is, "Hey, we know...
I was going to be waiting for a tri-motor and I really don't care about self-driving features, but just the choice to brazenly announce that they'll be screwing over the first wave of buyers so quickly really makes it hard to take Rivian seriously as a company with a strong future.

I'd love to see a more off road capable 2-door Jeep Wrangler competitor, but 2-door vehicles just aren't popular enough to justify making them. Especially with Rivian still not technically making profits on their vehicle sales yet.
I think you're gonna be more likely to see something like that...

While I think It's great news (for some people) that the R3X is gonna be the first version of the R3 released, his exact words were "... we’re launching R2 first, allowing some time to get that stable, and then launching R3 ."
To me, 'some time to get stable' means once the Georgia plant is...
