Again, you miss the whole point. This is about trust. The Company send my reservation in November (which you maintain is about the time the company knew about the production delays, so my April/May delivery should safe). At that time they also had to have know about the probability of a price...
Again, you miss the whole point. This is about trust. The Company send my reservation in November (which you maintain is about the time the company knew about the production delays). At the same time they also had to have know about the pricing increases then. (If not then they are really out to...
I received my delivery estimate in late November, so if you are correct, absent any further supply chain disruptions (the possibility of which they say are baked into the numbers), you are confident and trust that my R1S will be delivered on time (April/May)...so I guess you would take that bet...
Perhaps you have not seen the previous posts, but this whole chain started with comments about the lack of communication. I reserved an R1S more than two years ago and they emailed that I could expect delivery April/May.
If they will produce 25,000 total in 2022 and 10,000 will be to Amazon...
Also, if you listen to the company in their conference call, the company has some pretty exciting tech improvements for future production which might actually make it better to take deliver later :)

I hope things are cleared up for 2023.
Please read the Company letter (page 17):
"We believe that throughout 2022, the supply chain will be a fundamental limiting factor in our total output for the Normal Factory and that our manufacturing equipment and processes would have the ability to...
Hummm...so you think the preorders were less than 15,000? Because, based on company and press reports, they are projecting 25,000 builds this year minus 10,000 that must be delivered to Amazon. That would leave 15,000 for both Pickups and SUVs to be delivered in 2022. If that is true, it is hard...
You are a better person than I am to trust their lack of communication. It is clear from news items that Rivian is WAY behind on their production schedule.
See...
I don't know if anyone from Rivian reads this site but if they do, I have one word for them. LEARN. Learn from you communications blunder!!! Many people on this site have reservations with expected delivery dates. My expected date is April/May. You must immediately communicate with all of us and...
Well said. The original agreement was very clear that the price was not guaranteed. Anybody that is unaware of the massive inflation in material costs is living in a cave. If they had handled communication better from the start (my reservation is more than 2 years old and their comm has been...
I am a reservation holder for more than 2 years and ever since the beginning their communications have been sorely lacking. They really need to up their game. It should be no secret to anyone that we are in a very difficult environment with massive supply dislocations and inflation. It was not a...
Thank you RJ for reversing course on this. You have regained our trust. I have been a reservation holder since Feb 2019 and have been looking forward to getting my R1S asap. Glad you learned the importance of communication. This has been a long wait!
Wish they would make good on one promise: "To bring added clarity and better understanding to delivery timing, in early 2022 we are introducing a new feature on your Rivian Account Page that will display your current delivery timing estimate. The information will be tailored specifically to you...
