My post was only to defend the ones you see as spoiled and entitled. I disagree, but you're "entitled" to your opinion and I respect that. I never questioned who Rivian should answer to and I stated I had no problem with Amazon Vans being produced first.All I will say in response is if people expected smooth sailing with a startup EV company, than their expectations were off. And secondly, the pandemic has effected all industries. Obviously there is a great deal of division in our country regarding the pandemic and I think that plays into peoples understanding on its short and long term impact. We tend to be a society that needs instant gratification. That isn’t helping the situation. Educated adults should be able to look at the situation and understand what’s going on. If you are unhappy there is a refund waiting for you. Otherwise sit back and wait, because options are limited. I’m not seeing any F150s, Lucid air, cybertrucks, or hummers rolling off the assembly line. Rivian honestly does not owe you anything. They maybe have $300,000-500,000 grand in reservation money. How much did Amazon, Ford, Blackrock, ect invest?? Who do you think they answer to really?
However, Rivian has never have stated who they should answer to as fact, but instead blaming the production delay of R1's for other reasons. The reasons they mentioned apparently have had no effect on the Amazon Van production. This is a comment which I think should be addressed by someone at Rivian.
If you think I am unhappy, or impatient, you are wrong. I also have a first day reservation for an F-150 Lightning. I will take whichever is available to me first. I have no choice but to wait. No problem. My last comment is, I don't think waiting for 3 years would be considered instant gratification. I think those people have been extremely patient, but that can be debated as well.
