Not nearly as many as I thought it would be, especially with all the press over the past couple of months. But, on the plus side, I guess that means a shorter wait for all of us.

While I think it will be unlikely to actually accomplish, Rivian has stated that they plan to get through all of their pre-orders by the end next year.

48,000 is a lot of cars to mass produce for a new company that's certain to experience some bumps along the way. But, I was think the number was in the 90,000 range, which would have easily meant 2 years for recent reservations.


"Rivian had about 48,390 preorders for its R1T pickup trucks and R1S SUVs in the United States and Canada as of last month."

The big question for me is, "How many Launch Edition preorders?"

My guess: 48,386

We know from the order log in the forums that some orders are max battery so less than 30k and I remember the launch edition sold out. I guess 25k

I guess 2500-5000. No way more could it be more than 10k.

They shut LE ordering down after a couple of days with no warning. This was in November 2020, way before total preorders hit the announced 48k figure from September 2021. I can't imagine they would have let people order 25,000 Launch Editions, which will take a huge time to manufacture even under good conditions. Recall that they wanted this done quickly (and in low numbers, in case there are unexpected issues).
