This week Rivian announced that it made a tough decision regarding its electric vehicles.
The Explore Package is Rivian’s entry-level trim for the R1T and R1S vehicles.
Earlier this year, Rivian announced a price jump that instantlyreceived a ton of backlash.
A few days later, the company backtracked on that plan.
And while that’s only a $5,500 increase, it’s still more than buyers initially anticipated.
If you ordered an Explore package, you now need to reconfigure the reservation with the Adventure trim.
However, depending on your configuration, the price could increase even more.
According to Rivian, almost all orders were for the Adventure trim anyways.
And to date, the company hasn’t delivered a single Explore trim.
We do have some good news, though.
Along with this announcement, Rivianconfirmedthat it will now begin shipping the delayed Ocean Coast interior package.
For those wondering, Rivian isstill on trackto offer its cheapest dual-motor variant in early 2024.
