R1S Shop Access and Prices

[AxelR]

Interesting, what’s your ETA for delivery? How long ago did you place your deposit?

ETA June July and we placed our order in April 2019. We also just got access to the shop.
We’re very big LR fans (despite the fact that both of ours didn’t a lot of time in the shop and left us stranded in Canada). Terrible purchase both for value and reliability but sometimes illogical purchases feel right.
If LR had an EV Defender…. We’d probably go that route.

Wow! That’s a hell of a wait but congrats on approaching the finish line. Yeah, reliability does concern me about LR, was hoping Defender might be an exception. LR does seem to be dragging their feet on going full electric, an electric Defender would be sick.

Yes, I am new to the Rivian world. You are the only one to reference this post being trouble so take heed to your own brilliant observations and don’t reply.

I just didn't get here in time, been busy today

Hope you like waiting though, I'm not aware of any EV that fits your needs you can just pick up today.

I suspect the R1S inventory will catch up to supply by late 2024 and it’ll be a 1-3 month wait for a configuration, but that’s just my best guess. These things are so fluid, as we have seen with Tesla in recent months, so no one really knows. Preorder holders will probably take delivery with the lower pricing, but reservation holders are impossible to predict since it’s 100% refundable and prices are much higher. With the way interest rates keep going up, the market for any 80-90k+ vehicle is going to keep diminishing.

LOL, that comment was only meant for Mitchel674 since he implied that I thought I deserved shop access before others when I was “ late to the party”. I see there are still some people that have been waiting multiple years now. I hope they don’t have additional multiple years to go……

That makes sense - if Rivian’s production goals are met. With a large backlog, prices can be as high as Rivian wants. Once the backlog is caught up, it will be interesting to see where prices go.
