Transfer of R2 reservation

[Zathras]

Eric, in a way, I agree, and have been wrestling with that very thought. I sort of feel bad about using my reservations for people who didn't make one for themselves. However, I did have the foresight to make the reservation within the first five minutes of Rivian opening the reservation queue. In the end, if it's transferable, is it any different to you than if I use the reservation for myself or my wife as originally planned? Also, there are plenty of people who are going to jump you in line because they are legacy R1 owners, which I also am. I made the reservations to create flexibility for me, my family members, and possibly a friend after experiencing a 2.5-year wait for my 2022 R1T from time of reservation to when they went into production.

With the R2, you will get yours soon enough as long as the configuration you want is the soon-to-be available version.

I suspect that Rivian won't let it happen. But of course in the great scheme of things, it won't matter to me personally. And I see your point about making the reservation with keeping in mine how it goes down for those you reserved R2s for..

For me? I want the upgraded Gen 3 electronics in the R2, so I'm going to have to wait until at least the end of the year. That's about when I'll have my car paid off and be able to use the full amount as trade-in to keep my payment down. So Win-Win.

I guess the issue with what feels like line jumping could be nothing when it all works out and they get production up and cranking them out. I'm sure plenty of people aren't going to follow through with their reservations. So six of one and half dozen of the other.
