Correct me if I'm wrong: If I see a Launch Edition in the shop with the $3950 All-Terrain Upgrade package, then I'm seeing a vehicle that was built for the R1 Shop (not an orphan). The All-Terrain Upgrade was not an option back in November 2020 when reservation holders could configure a Launch Edition.
Back in December of last year, RIvian removed the compact spare tire from all unfilled R1S preorders. So a true Launch Edition orphan (configured back in Nov. of 2020) would only have a spare tire if it were built in 2022. True?
All this begs the question: Why is RIvian building Launch Editions to stock the R1 Shop? Do they have a crate full of Launch Edition badges to use up?
