Only hours away from the new configurator, I'm curious about your strategy around how you'll configure.
I actually have two reservations, one R1T and one R1S. I reserved both before I knew that I could switch from one to the other upon configuration (now we know that we can). I have decided the R1T is what I want, but I will probably hold out for the 180kWh version. It seems that the 180kWh version will not be available as a configuration option. So, do I configure one of the 135kWh versions, and then wait to configure the other till a 180 is available? Or, can I configure now, then change the option later?
I emailed Rivian about this and this was their response:
"In [the configurator] you will be able to use your preorder to select either the R1S or R1T and choose which options you want on the vehicle. I know personally, I'm looking forward to the R1T in Rivian blue but if you are anything like me, you may change your mind a few times. No worries if you do, you will save your configuration but you will be able to make any changes you decide up to the point of signing the purchase agreement." (italics added)
Seems to me that the way these orders will be fulfilled is that we will all be separated into pools based on our specific configuration, then, as our exact model becomes available, we would receive it in order based on the lowest reservation number. Is that how you think it will work? And when, exactly, will we sign a purchase agreement?? (upon actual purchase next year??)
