Doesn’t seem to make sense to be an early adopter with such growing pains…

It is just a matter of time until I submit a request for my thousand dollar refund. I am curious to see how this plays out for Rivian though so I will sit tight for a little bit.

I also have the full allotment of Rivian IPO (175) that was offered to preholders. I will hold on to that.

Hopefully I should be able to see and sit in a R1T sometime this week. A local individual is taking delivery of his launch truck tomorrow and has agreed to meet up with other local Rivian pre-holders.

We will need a full report!

We also need someone here to drive the new BMW electrics.

My specs have not changed since I gave my deposit in October of 2020, but that cannot be said for a many pre-holders as they repeatedly change their orders. I have stuck with the exterior color I selected since the get-go and Rivian finally released photos of what the last color, Limestome looks like. Since the official release several individuals have now seen the color in person and I am uncertain if I will stay with it as I am not overly thrilled with the outcome. Very blah, see pics…

Kind of like the second thoughts folks are having about Brooklyn Gray.
