Should I double up and place ANOTHER pre-order?

[NukeDukem]

I also have pre-orders for both Rivian R2 and Scout Traveler. At some point the Rivian R3 and R3X are also going to be available for pre-order and I might do the same with the R3X if the details align well with my needs and wants.

I couldn’t find any info on the R2 when I went to Rivian’s site other than a few photos.

I placed orders for both models because I'm not sure what I'll want when the time comes. Nice to know you can change at any point though.

At this point, my Traveler with the Harvester option might not be the best option for me. Should I reserve both or would it best to wait and change it at confirmation time should I desire the non-Harvester option?

I have one of each, so if you've got a spare 100 bucks, it can't hurt.

I DID THE FIRST FEW HOURS IT WAS OPEN FOR RESERVATIONS.

I did both Traveler options before the event was over. If the battery progression goes as I figure I'll be doing the EV by then. I hate to participate so early after the agonizing event to finally get my Lightning. But...I'm really hoping we get a worthy Scout and I'm getting excited !
Cheers

I just reserved the BEV-only model too. Hedging my bets

I’ve read there are significant delays to the R2 production. 2026 earliest but maybe 2028?

Reservations are totally refundable.

My past reservations:

2022 Ford Lightning
2023 Ford Mach E
2023 Silverado WT EV
2024 GMC Denali EV

Took delivery of both Fords but none on the GM/Chevy EVs and got a full refund 2 year after finding out their base EV WT was nowhere to be had for $42K.

How do you like the Fords? I’ve always been interested in both and test drove the Mach E.

You don’t think the Scouts will be delayed too? I think 2027 is quite ambitious.

I have reservation for terra Harvester but we don't now yet how much will be extra$ for the gas engine!.350 miles is pretty good ..more that I have in my Teslay Performance 285 miles .

I also have a reservation down on the TERRA with Harvester.

But in your opinion what do you think the Harvester price increase could be $5K or higher?

Right now SCOUT says 350 miles on a full charge but anyone who owns EV's knows that so many different factors determine range. The current climate, speed, having an ECO mode or regen brakes and even using the damn AC.

The other must have for me I am definitely doing a Glass roof on my Terra and who knows how much that will be? And curious to see if indeed 35" tires will be factory or are they upgrades as well.

Gotta say love the rustic hemp wood look in the TERRA and cannot wait to customize with leather and paint color options.

Really hope they do indeed come out in 2027 even if it's 4th quarter 2027. I was so bummed when the VW ID BUZZ got delayed due to COVID 19 but it worked out in the end wasn't meant to have one with that terrible 234 mile range and crazy high price tag.

Yeah, I felt the same way about it. Was interested until I heard about the range and all the touch controls.

The price will be for sure 5K more for the gas engine and maybe 5k $ inflation!
I really like the 2 Scouts ..but 2027 is very optimistic!

I’m not holding my breath on 2027. ‘28? We’ll see.
