I cancelled my Rivian order precisely because they kept on changing my configuration to the point I was still going to pay a huge premium for a vehicle that I didn't intend to order.

I am willing to wait but Rivian and the others have lost so much credibility to deliver that I do not even trust a deposit with them.

So I will continue to wait until manufacturers can ship these things as ordered.

Rivian has decent specs and looks nice, but lack of end-user maintenance shops concerns me. Warranties are worthless if the vendor goes bankrupt.

Do you mind providing some more details on what config changes they were making to your order ?

Deleting the option to have the max battery pack along with quad motors was what pushed me over the edge. I was still with them when they removed some of the other gizmos like electric bed cover but the battery and motors are what I really wanted.

If I wanted a dual motor config I'd just have ordered a Ford, which would probably deliver sooner, for less money, and probably better supported in the long run.

Could be worse, you could be GM writing off your loan then selling your investment in Lordstown Motors only to have Foxconn step in to legitimize the business.

I visited their website yesterday and really liked their two models. Beautiful cars, but I just can't fathom spending >CAD100k on one. And that's before tax where I live. Just so unattainable.

What’s changed besides the electric tonneau cover?

browniefed|3 years ago

Max Pack + Quad is no longer an option for pre-orders and now is Dual Motor + Max pack. The Max pack has likely dropped 1 battery module that it would have had. Power Tonneau is gone but may return.

So mostly the "drastic" things that have changed are related to motor/battery unknowns.

Everything around max pack configs (motors, timing, etc)

Adventure pack no longer includes kitchen or tent, etc
