Rivian Ordering Hasn't Improved Since March 2019

[Count Orlok]

Surely this is old news as most people already know what The Count has been up to.

The Count has determined that Rivian has not improved its purchasing process since he first ordered in March 2019.

Tried to get an update on 2025 Quad Max deliveries and no callback as promised; no email back.

So instead of waiting, he is trying to buy a new R1T. Completed the "trade in form" and was told by the computer his submission needed review. Haven't heard back. Nobody knows why. A couple R1Ts the shop interest The Count but it would be good to know what Rivian values the Royal R1S at before he tries to sell it private party.

In the meantime, Ford has reentered the chat room with some good pricing on the Lightning. The Count just wants a truck to putz around God's Country in place of his F150h. He'd rather have the R1T (ideally the quad max but $5 says Rivian is cancelling that project) than the Lightning but at some point function matters more than form.

I don't think customer service is given any information about future product availability that's not already on the website.

I would take that action. Rivian is going to make the quad; there's no reason for them not to.

Also, it's still in preorder. Rivian hasn't announced quad deliveries yet to anyone outside of the company; even his Royal Highness won't get the inside track.

FWIW Ford's trade in offer on my 22 R1T was, well, insulting. Rivian gave me 11k over what Ford offered. Which effectively erased Fords "Deals". on the lightning. That's ok, I was happier to stay with Rivian anyway.

News of what The Count has been up to hasn't reached my favella yet...

Amazed that there is cross shopping a Lightening to a Quad Max - quite different capabilities and prices.

The Lightning is in comparison to what's in the Rivian shop. If The Count was told the quad max as "may 2025" then he'd probably wait. But he played this lack of communication game with Rivian once before and doesn't suffer fools gladly. As everyone is well aware.

Verily curious: if the delta between QM and Lightening with preference towards Rivian, why not a Tri Motor R1?

It's not my business, but I just... assume the better option, all things considered, for your use case, if you want it now...would be the R1T Tri Ascend. Even RJ has said something along the lines of the Tri Motor hitting the 'sweet spot.'
