June 16th order LG in CA and 0.0 updates on vin other than the preproduction email...

Wait till they show the iX7

What's surprising is that the order of what is being delivered is backwards compared to popularity.

I don't think you will be able to order tomorrow. I think they will tell you what month you can order then you get the delivery window.

So, it looks like Rivian is running production the smartest way possible. If you look at the color matrix and people who have received Vins. It's all the lowest % colors before letting it rip on LG and CC.

100% sure you don’t have root access to Rivian OS. But nice try. None the less running aftermarket software violates Rivian TOS. And if I was the other persons lawyer I would use this against fault. I would not disclose you have this running to your insurance company.

So you have an aftermarket software running on your car… interesting omission in original post. Is it possible the Comma interfered with the safety system… highly possible and you will never know.

Based on 300-500 units a day and about 1K invites were sent out on the 16th. That would put production completion on Monday-Wednesday. This is assuming none of the ordered had already been filled last week.

With Tesla you have to worry about the FSD driving into another car or crashing because it can’t compute. Go look at the detailed data Tesla provided. Much greater accidents than human drivers. Several current lawsuits where the driver was alert and the Tesla crashed on its own.

Same, just got the email. That means by Wednesday we should have vins.

From what Rivian told me it was 2-8 weeks leaning towards the later. I am now 1 week in since ordering and have not received a vin or a window. Ordered on 6/16

I believe that if you have a reservation, they will let you know when your order window is by EOM. This is not very hard for them to do.

Has 0 impact. Once you get the invite it takes you to the configurator to order.

The problem with buying and selling is depending on the state you will owe the sales tax. This reduces the value of the gains.

I am also pretty sure Tesla does not allow this. They may have changed the terms, best to first check if Tesla allows buyout or resale.

Actually the $23k is. If you add all depreciation including factory and R&D it is $37k. It’s well documented that the actual production cost per R1 is Negative.

The electric G wagon is $186k and sells like hot cakes here. Its slower, less range and no 3rd row. Lots of people will still buy a R1 QM even at $160k. Rivian is forced with profitability dilemma and must make money on every car they sell. Losing $30k per unit is no longer acceptable to...

This car is a direct competitor to the Tesal MY, the leasing will follow that. The top trim will never be cheap to lease. Where you will see them playing with the MF are the lower 2 trims. To be honest get use to these lease prices especially if rates go up as has been floated.

Selling R1's right now make Rivian $0 and actually they lose about $23k per R1 produced. So, your comments are the opposite. Once they hit cash flow positive and can survive without losses from the R2 expect major changes to pricing on the R1. It will not be acceptable for the R1 to continue to...

I actually expect the opposite. Once R2 is underway and selling at a clip to maintain profits the R1 will increase price to become profitable out the door. I can see the quad and tri getting a $20k increase along with 10-15k on the DM.
