This is very interesting to me and directly relevant. The only reason I have an iX is due to the fallout of my journey with Rivian.

Our family decided to go full electric and we need an SUV sized car. So I did some research and fell in love with the R1S. I got in a pre-order at the introductory price.

Rivian then infamously raised the price on pre-order holders, so I promptly canceled my order and bought an iX.

When they walked back their price increase on pre-order holders, I went ahead and got back in line - and I've been waiting since.

Meanwhile, my iX was ordered, built, and delivered from Germany. And I've been enjoying it for months now.

I'm still waiting for my R1S. They say it'll come in summer 2023........

I still want an off-road capable SUV. And the third row will be useful to me. I expect the acceleration and range to be on par with the iX. So I don't know if I'm going to keep the iX and sell the R1S for an immediate profit, sell the iX and roll the dice on making the R1S my main ride, or keep both.
