[Sgt Beavis]

Where is the option claiming RJ is the Anti-Christ?

I’ve never seen the motor as add-on when it’s the only one available. I’m very disappointed.

I reconfigured to an LE R1T at $85k which would only be about $1,700 more than I was going to originally pay for the R1S I had configured.

But, it's definitely leaving a bad taste in my mouth -Not sure I can justify $96k on the R1S - I could afford it, but I don't think it's worth it to me.

I’m out of it is actually ~$95k from my ~$76k original estimate on the configurator. For that price, there are a lot of other EVs I’d buy first.

I'm out. Tapping out. Finished. Tried to save the planet, can't afford it. Buying old diesel an rollin coal.

Canceled after price was about 104k

I was on the fence already and considering the iX instead. The Rivian always seemed like the better deal. I don't need the off-road capability, it was more about a large EV SUV that wasn't a Tesla.

Unfortunately we will probably end up cancelling. I'll wait to see if they change their mind and offer some benefit for long time reservation holders. Considering I put a deposit down well over a year ago and have a launch edition reserved, this big of a price increase now is a kick in the nuts. If they maintain the new pricing we will cancel.

I was a 2018 res. and canceled. For the price increase by the time mine would have been ready, I could possibly get a Lucid Gravity.

There should be an option for "changing to dual/standard" but then it's not my pill.

My thinking is same as yours. I will keep the R1S reservation until decision day (which will now come a lot sooner I suppose!). I also have a Vinfast VF9 on reservation because I love its unusual looks. (Also a cyber truck, and Silverado). New rule in EVs: reserve everything, buy nothing, wait and see.

I feel really awful for all the people here who have been faithfully and anxiously waiting for years. It totally sucks. Same thing happened to the Model Y RWD folks.

Seriously, can we have a poll option titled; "RJ Scaringe is the crusher of my BEV dreams"

 

[indianriver]

Done, RJ. Done. Going to look at iX, or something. Right now, I am pretty pissed.

RJ = Gozer ????

I wonder how many reservations they have left at the end of the week? Go from 80k reservations to 20k. Haha. I do not need a truck, so good thing the BMW dealer was supposed to be calling me tomorrow anyway. For ~$100k, the EV options definitely increases quite a bit.

I am keeping my reservation for now to see how this pans out, but if it’s truly ~$15-20k increase, then I’m definitely out.

A smaller profitable number is better than a larger lossy number

Oh I know. But if they suddenly only show... 40k reservations that really hits the potential revenue.
