Is your neighbor an employee? Non-employee deliveries have been rare as hens teeth.
I live in Seattle and have yet to even see one driving on highway. I’d flip my lid if my neighbor had one I could check out in person.

Except your getting a product that wasn’t cobbled together using random parts vs what was originally specced

I dunno. I think our 2015 RV is just as big a POS as the new ones we've seen, lol. But new ones are POS's with more features....

Rivian just screwed placeholders with an up to 16k price increase…

Thats the risk you face when you can’t deliver a product in a timely manner. Materials cost changes etc don’t stay fixed forever

I am hoping these are durable trucks, and scaling up would’ve offset price increases.. I am at least half wrong.

We are on the list for one and were a little pissed about the increase but were going to wait it out. We got an e-mail from Rivian this morning saying that people on the list before the increase get to stay at old price. They quickly realized they shot themselves in the foot.

The Rivian is incredibly capable but I'd want a tiny/light off road capable 4x4.
Sounds like Kia and others might have one in a few years.

THIS would be my choice.
If Prius had done this, I'd own one.

Rivian has backtrack the price increase for anyone that had an order prior to March 1st. I imagine it was due to so many cancellations.

Looking forward to my order a little less after that pricing debacle, but I’m glad Rivian attempted to unring the bell.
I think most people would have accepted a modest increase, especially if the company telegraphed it in advance, but an unsigned email telling you to check your account for price changes was a punch in the gut.
I have yet to see one on the road. Hopefully they start doing events again this spring.

Two in our tiny town. Based on those the quality fit finish seems better than Tesla which is meh
