Agreed.The only problem is a lot of people seem to be treating "deliveries begin in June 2021" as "I expect my delivery in June 2021". It's entirely possible that the first few months only see a few token deliveries to key stakeholders or first day reservation holders, with the bulk of Launch Edition deliveries taking place during Q4 2021. This would still meet the criteria of delivering all Launch Editions in 2021, but would backload them to the final months of the year.
As long as one R1T is built and in-transit to the customer no later than June 30, 2021, then Rivian has satisfied that promise, imo. The more difficult challenge, in my mind, is delivering the rest of LEs before December 31, 2021. I'd even be willing to give them a slight break if they've built all of the LEs and the overwhelming majority have been delivered, but a few are still in transit. In that event, I'd say they still met the goal. But if 1/1/2022 comes around and we've still got a decent percentage of LEs not built, then I view that as under-delivering.
