Here is some food for thought...
In another thread talking about the lack of Rivian Apparel/store, a user here was given a reason by a Rivian representative. Once they start selling something, it changes their tax status. Even a hat.
I'm no accountant, and cannot speak with any authority on this, but the tax status reason seems... reasonable. Maybe this same reason speaks to why the details we are all hungering for aren't available yet. Specifically when it comes to cost (and thus configuration).
Compared to Tesla, Ford, GM who are not startup companies and not in a deferred tax status. Maybe it is legally easier for them to present that information.
Once again, this is all speculation on my part and I don't claim to be any authority on the subject.
