How much was your deposit and did they give you a welcome package or anything special?

Agreed . . . I have been rather disappointed in the lack of Marketing to people that put down a deposit, but I try to convince myself it's because they are focusing on getting it done LOL!@oak202
that's indeed odd given the fact the typical welcome package stuff is the EASIEST to get done. what does it take to outsource apparel, documents, and even a scale model of our cars. Not much.
I went with the truck . . . been keeping my eye on these "show & tell" promo/driving events they have been hosting. Hopefully they'll have one close enough to me that I can justify attending. I'd really like to get behind the wheel, and offroad, to put it through some pacesGlad to have you aboard @oak202! Hopefully they'll send you more cool stuff as they get closer to launch date and everything goes smooth for you.
Which Rivian are you looking to get? the R1T or the R1S?
My biggest concern with those is how theft proof they'll be. I know F-150 and Silverado guys who had break-in's.Good choice.
I'm likely to go for the truck as well but hoping to get a tonneau cover to make it SUV-like when required. Enclosed cargo space does come in handy at times.
The fact that the cover extends and retracts from the back of the truck should help a lot with security.My biggest concern with those is how theft proof they'll be. I know F-150 and Silverado guys who had break-in's.
Yeah that very true, I hope it's a big thing that gets covered as they start production.How theft-proof it is still concerns me. We'll never know till someone assesses it or breaks in.
Where did you find that @Victerry?Update: After reading some of the other blogs, I see Rivian has pulled another fast one on us. They are now saying the $69,000 price is AFTER the $7500 rebate from the Government! So they will start at $76,500, not the original $60,000 we were told. Nice fat increase doing nothing extra.
The only thing I can find is this article back in January that said Rivian is expecting a slightly lower starting price.I don't quite remember, it was somewhere here in this forum. I'm sure Rivian's website might say something, I'm curious now myself.
