Apparently I’ve reached the ignore limit and can’t ignore anymore posts/threads. ?
Let’s leave Kia out of this…. I’ll line my EV6 against any ICE vehicle you got
Especially if geography has been playing into the delivery timelines.
Yeah, I hit that 1000 thread limit myself recently. You can reset and start over, but let me tell you, the first day or 2 after doing that sucks as you have to re-ignore any of those threads that are still active. But it was worth it in the end.
N just cancel your order. You're going to screw over someone who pays you $10k and then gets their order cancelled by Rivian. Buy the truck or don't. If you want to sell a truck after buying it, feel free.
Hmm, sounds about as painful as unsubscribing from all the unwanted emails I get. ??
He might think the truck might not be worth as much if the new buyer can't get the tax credit.
Fair point.
To everyone who is very upset with me for selling my reservation, I’ll offer a few words, I don’t expect it will resonate but at least you’ll know where I’m coming from. I was a very, very early believer in Rivian. However, over the past 3+ years, Rivian hasn't handled their customer relations well and this week it came to a head for me. I’m not making money off of their “discount” per some other comments- this $73k was the sticker price for almost 4 years up until a few days ago. I wanted to love the brand and the product, I went to all of the meetups. I went to CES, I went to NY Auto Show, I met with people who worked there, with engineers in Normal. But for me, every non-marketing email from Rivian since mid 2019 has been an endless string of disappointment. If you put your deposit down with a shipping estimated time in 2020, how are you not a little bummed out? There are forces beyond RJ’s control, but Rivian made a massive mistake this week. They let all of you down. They thought you wouldn’t be angry. They took you for granted. They took your hard earned dollars for granted. If you miscalculate the supply chain timing by 2 years and production costs by over 15%, the mistake is owned by you, not your customers. Don’t take your terrible forecasting out and tough breaks out on early adopters, the believers, the people in this thread and on these forums when you have ample cash on hand to withstand these setbacks. That’s exactly what they did and I’m not okay with it. I’m not a bottom feeder trying to make a buck, I can buy the truck in cash no problem, I’m doing this because it is a very very small way (completely insignificant some will laugh) to try and say “what Rivian did this week is simply not okay”. And they were going to gouge you, to follow through with the price increases until their PR team begged RJ to write a letter and Ford and Amazon pressured RJ to hit send. Anyway, be upset if you will, but not gonna lose sleep over taking a very small stand against a terribly run company that had everything going for it.
