A post 3/1 preorder may also be more inclined to accept differences in their configuration in order to not wait a couple years. People that have already been waiting for 3 years may want to continue for exactly what they want (or a bare minimum of what they want). Post 3/1 orders also don't have a so called "fixed price", so further incentive to take what is available (although at any time Rivian can charge their mind on pre 3/1 orders)Actually a 2022 preorder might be FAR more profitable for Rivian if the reservation was made after the price increase. so they may care…just not in the way you think.
I am "only" a Sep 21 preorder, but I want 20's, underbody shield, and lately have been more inclined to wait for a max pack, I am in no rush, and "waiting" for a max pack gives Rivian time to improve software, hopefully further improve construction/build issues, and hopefully improve post delivery maintenance/service (although that can be hard as deliveries increase). I know there are many out there with no issues, others out there with acceptable issues, and probably a minor amount of severe issues.
