I think he's just messing with you but expressing how jealous he (and I) are that you are already able to get the R1T. I wish I was that far up in the reservation queue.

Rivian price increased massively - $15,500. Cancelled, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

It looks like I will be lucky to get my R1T next year. Very jealous that you will get one in a couple of months.
On the plus side, it sounds like this massive price increase has led to many reservation holders nixing their orders, despite the fact that they reversed the hike for current orders. Looks like some of us will be getting ours even sooner now lol.

I saw an article about an investor lawsuit, but not anything about an SEC investigation. Those are two totally different things.

Unfortunately, you may be waiting awhile. They just lowered their delivery expectations to 25k vehicles this year (down from 40k+... I forget the exact number). It seems all new EV entrants (and autos generally) are really struggling with supply chain challenges.
Tesla's first yearly steady state manufacturing target for their first mass market vehicle (Model S) was 20,000 vehicles. Funny how Rivian's is turning out to be about the same. Funny as in, completely predictable. Meanwhile Tesla will make about 1.5M vehicles this year. Tell me again how any other EV is going to impact Tesla ... at all?
That's great actually - taking delivery of my MYP tomorrow, I'll get to keep her longer than expected!
Please sell it to this poor guyMine wasn't even early (expected 2nd half of 2023) but you better believe I'm going to get my spot in line back and sell the reservation

Well...as I recall, when Tesla was as young as Rivian is now, they increased the prices on Roadsters that were already ordered. Tesla basically apologized but claimed they couldn't sell them for less than it was costing them to make at the time.
This is absolutely correct. Roadster reservation holders were beyond furious.
And we’ll see what they do with the Cybertruck. No way those prices are being honored.
With Ford stepping out with a loss and the stock tanking to 23 that was my jump in point. Hears hoping long term they keep production flowing. Having been to the plant several times they certainly have the system down and the commitment. Rather impressive actually.
Ford still made money overall on their initial investment though. Amazon is also up. They just lost money on paper because they had already claimed profits from when the stock was high.
It's good that it sounds like the manufacturing side is coming along. However, I have also heard from engineering friends (who have connections to the R&D side) that the management is somewhat disorganized at Rivian. This night mean that improvements and bug fixes might be slow coming from Rivian.

Good luck to you. You will either be a zero or a hero. I think they are in trouble honestly but who knows. You could end up being a genius.
? Not following your logic. By your own understanding Tesla did the exact same thing (for presumably same reason) so how is this different again?
I think the main difference is that Tesla was still selling the base Roadster at the original price, but they raised the price of options. (And also made some upgrades that were included paid options.)
