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.

Wow. I did the exact same thing for the same reasons ( except i dont need the 3rd row) expecting my R1S in 2024. It all depends how my iX holds up till then and if Rivian has a fix for all their repair/software issues whether I trade it in or also sell the Rivian for profit ifnits still profitable to sell in 2024
