I think it's fine (smart, even) to delivery the first set of vehicles to employees. It rewards people for their hard work, and also allows them to work through production issues and have some of the earliest production vehicles "near" company facilities so issues can be communicated back and worked on, easily/quickly.I’m curious as to your opinion: do you think your preorder is higher priority than the employees who built the car itself over the past 10 years? And that paying employees should not be given their cars so that someone who reserved after them, like yourself, could?
My frustration stems from the missed commitments that Rivian has voluntarily made. They told someone to expect their delivery in October, and the entire month they insisted that is still the case. Now we're in November and the date changes to February? Not just a matter of "we're a little behind, and it's going to be early November... But literally 3+ months later. And they couldn't tell that customer before they completely missed the original deadline?
Rivian doesn't need to change how they're prioritizing deliveries. What they need to change, imo, is how they communicate their intentions with their customer base.
Most companies publish a roadmap. Why can't Rivian?
