I'm happy for all of those who have ordered and getting their VINs and deliveries scheduled, etc etc....

But misery loves company and I'm starting to feel pretty lonely...
I understand the folks with R1s getting to order already, but there seem to be quite a few non-owners as well.... I had an early day one reservation like most others, so I don't know what the other considerations are that we aren't seeing.

So I'm creating this thread for those of us who feel like the sad puppy out in the rain.... where we can commiserate as being a part of the "unchosen" masses.
For those who say "you're just whining..", you're damn right I'm whining, and I'd like to hear from others who feel the same way.
Not yet. Oct 24 rezzy. Can I Haz R2?

The Count doesn't want an "AI enhanced" vehicle unless AI stands for snowplow.

Early reservation, no invite. This irked me, so I am no longer getting the launch version and waiting until Q4 '26/Q1 '27 to get the Gen 3/LiDAR version instead. Due to the snub, not paying top dollar for dated mid-2024 tech.

Your also right near the manufacturing plant. Are you still getting the launch edition with Gen 2 tech?

The Big Question: How many of those Day 1 reservations of the 68k actually want to convert for Launch Edition right away?
If only there was a way for Rivian to... I don't know, I'm just spitballing here, ACTUALLY ASK PEOPLE THAT QUESTION.

The amount of data Rivian collected from reservation holders is incomprehensibly negligent, and if their conversion rates turn out to be shit, it's going to be their own fault.
