Leaked Monday email! [JOKE]

[ksujeff99]

A little birdy sent me an advance copy of my email, the one that's going to start going out next week to everyone. Yikes!

Jeff,

As we shared previously, we’re taking every opportunity to get you into your new Rivian as quickly as possible. With that in mind, we’re happy to share updated delivery timelines with you. As you may know, we are in an unprecedented period of supply chain challenges, rising inflation, and labor shortages. Unfortunately for many, this means your delivery timelines will be later than previously communciated.

Rivian is committed to not only our customers and our employees, but also to our shareholders. With that in mind, we’re announcing today that newer orders, using the updated pricing, will be given priority in 2022. Your preorder is still valid and will be delivered as soon as possible.

Your new estimated delivery date is
October-December 2023


We know this will be frustrating news for some, but we believe in clarity and honesty in our communications with you. As always, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Keep on adventuring!

Apparently this is a joke...but oddly enough I actually would pay the higher prices if I could get my truck tomorrow. ?

Wow... According to the delivery estimate in your signature, that's a delay of more than a year.

If this is legit... and mine gets delayed by over a year, I'll just buy something else.

" newer orders, using the updated pricing, will be given priority in 2022 "

Thats crap. I get it. Make money, but 3 years counts for sweet f'all at this point.

I will assume the "/s" at the end means it's entirely a joke, but that's not cool if I'm right. This should be deleted if it's just a joke.

Gotta be a bad joke. “Custom” Engagement, not “Customer?” Clearly not a cut and paste.

Phew....

strike 1....

Strike 2?

 

[moosehead]

Wait, this is just a late Rivian April Fool’s joke, right? 2 months late seems right, no?

Or we’re getting trolled.

Either way, seems like the torches and pitchforks should be kept close.

I vote permanent ban for these poorly executed jokes at everyone's expense that make Rivian look bad.

Rivian customer service, especially any executive communications, doesn't need any help looking bad.

You left out a paragraph:

As we break down the silos with our reorganization remember that the brand benefits from feedback from internet influencers and youtubers. That said, we will be delivering the first 500 R1S vehicles to the top tik-tok, myspace, and youtube content generators based in Moldova, Kenya, Tuvalu, and Orange County. This strategy is a paradigm shift away from efforts to satisfy loyal customers and toward maximizing our short-term investor sentiment as well as a more general boiling of the ocean sea-change to our industry.
