Edit 3/3/22 - since posting this, Rivian has reversed imposing the price increase on existing pre-order holders. They are to be commended for admitting to a mistake (especially on the messaging and customer service aspects). While I still have concerns that this even happened, I'm sticking with my plans to buy an R1T and accessories, as well as keeping my investment in the company.
Let's flood the market with used Rivians. How? Take advantage of the 7 day return policy. If you can afford it, don't trade in an existing vehicle, don't swap over your plates, take delivery, drive hard for 7 days, and return it. You'll get your money back, plus any taxes you paid, and you can go back to driving what you have now. There will be a bunch of used Rivians on the market which will reduce demand for the brand-new vehicles. See how that affects their profitability.
