Any word on Camp Kitchen production/deliveries/pricing?

[Jamlank]

Curious if anyone has heard any updates about this? I just had another completely worthless chat with Rivian and was told in 6 different ways, "when a guide is assigned you can ask about this".
Can anyone with a guide ask? And does anyone have anything definitive on if the original pricing will still be honored?
During my chat, I was given the impression that honoring the original pricing will be up to the guide too (which seems unlikely).
Has anyone gotten a camp kitchen yet?
I feel if an option is no longer an option, Rivian should relay this. It could have a significant impact on customers decisions.

It’s definitely an option, snow peak was touting it at overland expo.

presumably there are shortages of any number of components for it. Many of the snow peak items are sold out with snow peak themselves, for example.

It just got removed from my configuration last night without any communication or action from myself. It's really weird.

I've delayed my purchase but when I spoke to my Guide a month ago the Camp Kitchen was still, uh, on the table, and if you ordered it at a given price then that is the price you would get it at when it's ready.

It's been removed before delivery from everyone who ordered it.

I've been struggling to try to get all of the items out of the set.

I would guess that because Rivian has decided to proactively remove the kitchen, tent, and shuttle from all orders with a 2022 delivery date, we shouldn’t expect the kitchen or other removed accessories to be available until next year. Even if some limited numbers will be available before then, the removal suggests Rivian isn’t confident in any deliveries this year having them.

To paraphrase the great philosopher Wimpy, I don't see how you can estimate a camp kitchen delivery tomorrow from a truck delivery today.

Oh wow, they removed my kitchen too despite having an Oct production estimate. Let's just hope that they're not like "you didn't have kitchen configured at time of order [because we silently removed it] so you're not eligible to purchase the kitchen at reduced pricing".

Well, it’s today and the next six months. If Rivian is right now removing the kitchen from orders with 2022 estimated delivery dates, that suggests that Rivian doesn’t believe anyone taking delivery this year will be able to do so with a camp kitchen. Not that everything Rivian does makes sense, but it wouldn’t make sense for them to remove the camp kitchen, right now, from a preorder with an October delivery date if they think there’s a chance the camp kitchen will be available by then.

Yeah, I doubt that there will be any kitchens if they're making this move. Plus, even if there are kitchens, there will be a huge year+ backlog of kitchens going back to the earliest deliveries, and they require service center time to install (with SCs already overloaded), so October deliveries will be waiting a while even once they start shipping kitchens.

I wonder if the SC need is actually a major factor here. Like, if they want to focus on ramping up new hires, fixing missed quality issues, making deliveries, etc. then it makes sense that they'd limit elective servicing jobs like kitchen installs.

No camp kitchen on my pre order anymore either. Disappointing! As long as I can get in the future at same price as Rivian claims, I am ok with it. What else ya gonna do??

Agreed. Mine has a Dec 22- Jan 23 delivery date and is longer on my preorder.
