Rivian pricing has rolled back to "pre March 1" for previous order holders

[thestvff]

My dashboard still hasn't updated. I had canceled my reservation and then reinstated it (R1S). Anyone else who canceled and reinstated have their dashboard updated?

Mine is back. Had just placed the pre-order a few weeks before the price debacle. Whew! In under the wire. ? Still crazy-expensive, but in the grand scheme of things not much more expensive than a well-equipped Colorado would be, and infinitely superior.

Now to see which reservation arrives first - Rivian, Cybertruck, or F-150 Lightning. The others are getting cancelled. ?

I received (now my second email) that prices have been restored. Received the same email 2 weeks ago.
Weird though that I cannot edit my config? I finally was able to see R1T’s in person and want to change colors - but ‘edit build’ button is gone.
I can’t remember what colors cost $ and what were included for us Launch Edition customers.
There is a statement on my account page that I need to ‘contact my guide’ to make any changes.
With OC interior - I am still out 2 months or so on delivery.

My pre-March 1 pricing has been restored but I cannot change the config as it says I must contact my guide. I have not been contacted but now see when I click 'Contact Guide' it appears I have been assigned one. I guess I will contact them and see if the changes I want to make affect delivery timing! Estimated window was Oct-Dec 2022.

Hey Brian - v can you made ‘edits’ to your original build? I lost the ability to modify my order since my account has been restored (I never canceled when prices when up).

My pricing updated today. Placed in Dec. '21 for R1T Adv, silver, rubber mats, charger came out to approx. $98Cdn.

New pricing for R1T, silver, PT, mats, charger comes to $96,180Cdn for a reduction of approx. $2K Can.

Not sure what changed but the orig base was 97+ and now it's 93+ (but without PT which is extra $1,900)

Hoping the feds will revamp the EV incentives in new budget come April 7. Right now, offering $0 for this vehicle. I think they want at least 20% EV for new purchases by '26 so they better offer something as current incentive is truly pathetic. Likewise, there's a provincial election coming in Ontario in a few months and hoping major parties can offer something. Current prov. gov. offers nothing.

When did you pre-order?

It depends but mostly yes, no bed cover and gate up. Makes a nice ball of turbulence that the main flow of air over the vehicle can slide off and over the rear of the truck.

https://www.motorbiscuit.com/will-dropping-your-tailgate-improve-your-trucks-gas-mileage/

For this series of tests, Consumer Reports used a 2013 Dodge Ram V8 at a speed of 65 mph on the highway. The tailgate was left up during the first test and lowered on the second test. For the third test, a tonneau cover was secured over the truck bed.

Many truck owners believe that a tonneau cover will improve a truck’s gas mileage just as well as leaving the tailgate down. This is because the cover will supposedly distribute the air evenly across the body of the truck instead of collecting it in the cargo box. This theory is backed up by tonneau makers, who claim that using one will improve your gas mileage by 10 to 13%.

During the first test, the Ram got a combined 22.3 mpg. With the tailgate down, the truck got a combined fuel economy rating of 21.5 mpg. This shows that buying into this popular myth is actually worse for your car in reality. However, both of these ratings were better than the test involving the tonneau.

With the tonneau cover attached, the Ram’s fuel economy rating was 21.4 mpg. According to another study conducted by SEMA, the tonneau cover increased their truck’s fuel economy, but only while driving at a certain speed. Their test truck saved a little over one mile per gallon while driving at 85 mph. However, this situation is so uncommon that you probably won’t save much money at all while using the cover.

Another popular method that Consumer Reports didn’t test is using a mesh net. The net is attached to the back of the truck with the tailgate lowered. According to a test conducted by Mythbusters, it improved their truck’s gas mileage by 5%.

However - also depends on what Rivian did with the EPA test, with it on, or off, were their aero designs accounting for tonneau or not, etc. Each car is going to be affected differently with this type of scenario. Also not considered are if things are in the back without a tonneau.

We also never cancelled our original order. As to making edits, I have never made any.

I‘m a long way further behind you in line, but my understanding from reading threads in this forum is once your configuration has been locked by Rivian you must work with your guide to make any final changes before your delivery.

FWIW I just logged into my account at Rivian and my preorder has reverted to the pre March 1 pricing, with the exception that the tow hooks are now included.

As a data point, I preordered an R1S on October 6, 2019. When the configurator went live I passed on the Launch Edition because the Max Pack wasn't available.

My "delivery window" was estimated October-December 2022, although this isn't showing up on the website so far.

I wanted the Max Pack too. but now I've got large pack. hindsight I should have taken the LE, but that info was not available. Good news is the price came down $17,000 for me. I'm not expecting to get one this year, even with July 2019 preorder. but not gonna change to other EV. To me it seems I'm getting 2018 pricing on a 2023 Rivian...

Did anyone notice the time windows are gone from the chat and call links on the support page?

I wonder if they are going to be 24/7?

They fiddled with (lowered) the base price of the Adventure by $1500. PT is now a $1500 option.

This is great for those that don’t want the PT. The manual PT is $800.

Same here, I had to add the PT for $1500. didn't realize they lowered by $1500. I'm good though.
