Rivian or Fisker Ocean One

[sixthsense999]

I placed an order for Rivian R1S (nov 2021) and lucky enough to keep the original pricing, the same configuration now costs close to 20K more for new rivian orders. Also i was lucky enough to secure a fisker ocean one reservation. Which one do I keep, What are my options for transferring my reservation. Please let me know your thoughts. I really want to get my hands on R1S but not sure what the wait time will be. Fisker Ocean one looks cool too.

For me it would come down to what I plan to do with my next vehicle. Both of these are electric SUVS, that is just about where the similarities end. R1S is very much geared towards overland adventurous types with families, where as the Fisker is both shorter and narrower and does not seem to be a 3-row vehicle. So if you don't need 3-rows and/or don't plan to go off the paved path, then maybe the Fisker is your better option., or perhaps an R2S, if you don't mind the wait.

I ordered in November 2021 as well, originally as an R1T but switch in January to the R1S. My recent delivery window puts me in 2nd half of 2023.

thanks for your response, first of all i badly need an EV, i have solar + powerwall and current gas prices are outrageous, I like rivian tech better than fisker, biggest advantage is quad motor, choice of selective drive mode (rwd/awd), adjustable suspension height, 10 cameras for driver+ etc. since the delivery estimate is 2023, thats better for me I will have time to shore up my finances for R1S. Currently I have a 2017 audi q7 that I'm looking to replace , its a lovely vehicle but sucks on mileage.

Small correction; the R1T can never be only RWD. AWD in most modes, or FWD in Conserve.
