This is way out of line. Great message ... 'I'll be mean to those that I deem to be unkind.'
For those not drinking the Rivian Kool-Aid ... Senior Management is putting Customer Service in harm's way and THEY can use them as a buffer against providing candid and open communication. If you...
Others have posted that this is a way of consistently allowing Rivian to sell direct-to-consumer. Amazon also charges your credit card before transit ... really not very different. I understand the liability of something this significant that you don't control the shipment of is odd, but...
Which seems reasonable to me. I go on golf buddy vacations. Four guys with four golf bags and four pieces of luggage would easily get into a R1S. Beyond that, I don't think it competes with a Suburban and neither does a Tahoe.
If Rivian wanted to be transparent about the colors, they could provide Pantone colors or the like. At the very least, their own photos of ALL their vehicle colors in both day and night. But, that doesn't seem how this company operates.
Candidly, I don't even know what that means ... other than Rivian might have a working, durable suspension right now ... so the chances of them modifying it and going through spec changes and millions of dollars of testing - only to possibly have unforeseen problems - would seem to be nil...
I'm not sure what a "smoker dirty" is ... but I disagree with how OC is portrayed on the Rivian Website. If you want to see "perfect white" or bright white check out the Tesla interior. This to me is more off-white. I hope to see it in person.
Thanks to all that posted OC views. Much...
My delivery window is Oct-Dec 2022, so you might be correct. However, I would prefer to expect it later and then be pleasantly surprised. Certainly, we will all get a much better idea for timing once R1S customer production/deliveries take form.
Indeed, thanks for the info. I also ordered white with Ocean Coast R1S ... but I only ordered in 02/21. So, I'm guessing I might be a Fall 2023 delivery ... if that.
Certainly, you will be one of the first R1S delivered which is exciting for you and for us.
