I flirted with this. The thing is just a bit dork. Square G-Wagon good-- not so sure yet on the Rivian. Maybe I'll get used to it, or better yet just wait on my Cybertruck.

Although tempted, I won't buy a first model year car, let alone a first model year electric car, let alone a first model year electric car from a startup company...

I will be honest, the front end has grown on me. But I’m so pissed off about the treatment from Tesla that I’ll learn to like the Rivian R1S if they actually deliver the damn thing. They have had delays, but they communicate with the order holders. Theor order holders are not sitting in the dark wondering when and if they’ll ever get a car. Currently the plan is to see which one gets delivered first, I still will take delivery of the model X. The question will be, will it be first or second to be delivered. If it’s second and I like the Rivian I’ll probably sell off the model X and be done with Tesla. As a customer I’m going to evaluate the product, the customer experience, and my overall satisfaction with the process and my purchase.
I'd love to know when you get that there Rivian. My guess is 2023.

For the first 9 months after I ordered my X, I was under the assumption that everyone was in a single file line, since trucking cars across the country will basically cost the same whether it’s the beginning of the quarter or the end.
The next 3 1/2 months I thought they were cherry picking the most expensive and closest to their factory.
The last few weeks I’ve come to realize they are just a kid, with a big bag of gummy bears. Sometimes they look and grab all the grape and cherry ones. Other times they are distracted by watching the Ryan’s World kid unboxing some random toy on YouTube and just shove their hand in the bag and eat whatever the happen to grab.

I’m really thinking about it. It seems to be a better actual SUV just not as cool
I have plan B, C, and D
I have deposits on 2 Model Xs LR and Plaid, 2 Rivian R1S in different trim, 1 Lucid, and 1 iX50
I did have a deposit on a LR 3 from even before my Plaid X...but Tesla cancelled that on me due to not taking delivery even though I told them it was my backup in case the Plaid didn't come. II have 1 car with 2 drivers...i'm taking whichever is available first now.

I love the Rivian look. Communication though... not good at all. Not Tesla horrible but pretty bad. One email in November 2021 with an estimated delivery window, that's it. Nothing since. Customer service is just like Tesla, no answers, standard replies, no useful information.
To everyone ordering or considering a Rivian, they are also experiencing production and supply delays. I believe only two SUVs have been delivered so far (one to the CEO and one to the CFO). I ordered the R1S 11/2020 and have a Launch Edition estimated delivery of July - September. Realistically, I don't expect it until Q4 2022 or into 2023. Rivian is prioritizing the R1T. I have driven the R1T and it is great. Love what they are doing and encourage anyone to look into them, I am just saying, it's going to be a long time... Wondering what will show up first, our R1S or our MX LR 7 Seater?
You discount the mind of someone living in an echo chamber. Solar (v3?) is on pause and a perfect model for the MX rollout. Batteries are uneconomical for retail and delayed for years. Cybertruck will be delayed years and 2x the price for the first year. I won't torch FSD fanboys, but EAP is sufficient. Elon thinks FSD is all that matters, without proper camera and sensor placement. Vision FSD will be auto-wipers for some years. Tesla is 95% 3/y. If you aren't with the 95%, suck a nut.
You are right and thanks for the correction. I have been drinking to ease my high-class problems.

Great car, but only 30 miles of battery only mileage (Florida). Fit and finish is great Porsche. Only problem is check engine light pops on sometimes (known problem) with no current solution, but OK to drive. Bought while waiting for MX.
My neighbor has the T, it seems great and I really like the interior and seats.
