Would be nice to see a show of hands of who's ordered so far. I'm in for a R1T with my $1k deposit!

Unless pre-orders are unexpectedly good or 1st year production is highly constrained, I think all pre-orders will probably end up being 1st year production model. But hopefully by Rivian being a smaller nimble startup, fixes to issues can be rolled out as an on-going basis and not delayed until next model years.Just voted, I am interested to see how many pre-orders have been sent in. I am interested in the R1S, not to keen on getting 1st year production model, maybe if I pre-order later in year I can get one that would be pretty much bug free. Also waiting to see how model y looks
Two deposits I'm impressed! Are you possibly going to purchase one of each or just waiting to decide which one to go with?Placed an order for each, but only allowed one vote. Just thought I would skew the numbers a little bit.
After buying my wife a Model X last year and driving it for a few months, I was convinced that I wanted to buy the Tesla Truck - whenever it became available. I know there are no actual sightings of the truck yet, but after seeing some of the potential renditions, I started having my doubts if it was going to be a practical replacement for my current ICE.Two deposits I'm impressed!

I changed the poll to allow multiple votes now.
Isn't the Tesla truck supposed to be gargantuan? Tesla's rendering shows it capable of carrying another truck in its bed. And it looks like a semi tractor to me, quite unattractive.After buying my wife a Model X last year and driving it for a few months, I was convinced that I wanted to buy the Tesla Truck - whenever it became available.

Then Rivian came along. Both vehicles are esthetically pleasing to me, offer a lot of what I wanted/needed in a replacement vehicle, and there seems to be a plan in place for actual production. Tesla hasn’t produced anything as far as the truck other than “it’s coming soon”. I’m very happy with our Tesla and could very easily be pursuaded to purchase the Truck, but I’m leaning towards the Rivian vehicles right now as a replacement for both my Expedition and F150.
What in the world is that? Who is going to buy a transport sized pickup that can't even be parked in a garage or clear highway overpasses?! Even if it were sized/scaled properly, that is one unattractive truck.Isn't the Tesla truck supposed to be gargantuan? Tesla's rendering shows it capable of carrying another truck in its bed.

Daphne, I saw your post in the other thread about switching orders. Here's a question - what happens if you preorder a R1T and when it gets to your number in line you want to switch to R1S but it's not available yet? Do you automatically get put at the front of the R1S line based on the date you preordered/placed deposit?Pre-Ordered a R1S - May have to wait a little longer - time for me to start saving my pennies I have driven multiple SUVs - the last was a Volvo XC90 - Which I loved dearly - but I had the EV bug, so tested out my theory with a Ford Fusion Energi Titanium PHEV, I love the car in 100% EV, it is just ok in gasoline and more than ok in hybrid modes... But I am convinced that I am ready for 100% EV - I was really thinking of going with what appears to be the standard hatchback - but I was so hoping for an SUV - and along comes Rivian - been lurking for about 4 months, finally dove in - I am happy to have my place in line and may be tempted to switch to the R1T if I just can't wait any longer - it looks awesome too!
