Well, I’ve been swayed towards the rivian and will be giving up my CT plans. Wondering if anyone here has an early rivian reservation they’d be willing to sell?

Curious. Why did you join just to make the switch statement?

Good fortune on your decision, I would not choose the same path.
because I just made the decision and started the process of looking around for Rivian reservations.

It looks like they are checking Lunch Editions off their list.

So, you immediately went to the Cybertruck forum, not the Rivian forum and had to tell this forum you switched?

Hood for you on your decision, your communication logic does not make sense to me.

If you believe you are rubbing our noses in your decision, your decision does not affect us unless you cancelled a early CT reservation number. If you are from Rivian and trying to drudge up Rivian converts, does not make sense either to me since lacked subtlety and convincing pro Rivian points.

If your motivation is just to troll, there are mostly a learned crowd here with some edge cases.

If you are just over jubilant on your decision, again happy for you.

Your motivation perplexes me, I do not see the gain in the action.

Good luck. Assuming you have a reservation for a CT and hopefully for you it is an early reservation, I would not let it go to waste. With potential EV tax credits and the absolutely mind numbing backlog of trucks that are on preorder you may want to plan on purchasing both and flipping one for a hefty sum or at least help to pay for the finder fee to get the original persons Rivian reservation. Due note that you will not be eligible for any tax incentives on the Rivian purchasing it from the original reservation holder due to it not meeting the requirements. If money is no object disregard any advise or guidance. Enjoy whatever EV you end up with.

The Rivian is a solid choice, and likely will out perform the CT in some offroad situations.

Having seen the Rivian truck up close and personal, it's a very good truck. More conventional than the CT in many ways, but it is thoughtfully designed and will likely be loved by its owners.

For myself, I prefer the longer towing range and the longevity of stainless steel. I'll stick with the Cybertruck.

The Rivian factory is about an hour from my house. I thank you for supporting the economy here in Central Illinois!
