said the lower-priced package didn\u2019t generate enough interest. \u201cThe Explore Package was designed as our entry option and it was our expectation that a large number of customers would choose it. To date, only a small percentage of customers have chosen this configuration, with the vast majority selecting the Adventure trim,\u201d the letter reportedly said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the letter, customers who cancel by Sept. 16 will get a full refund on their pre-order deposit.<\/p>\n<p>A MarketWatch email to Rivian seeking comment was not im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely returned late Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The lower-priced package for Rivian\u2019s R1S SUV has also <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arently been eliminated; <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TravisHoium\/status\/1560349013379006467\" class=\"icon none\">a tweet Thursday<\/a> showed Rivian\u2019s configuration website with only one option available, starting at $75,500, and the Explore version reading \u201cdiscontinued.\u201d<\/p>\n<div data-layout=\"inline\n                \" data-layout-mobile=\"\" class=\"\n          media-object\n          type-InsetTweet\n            inline\n    scope-web|mobileapps\n  article__inset\n          article__inset--type-InsetTweet\n            article__inset--inline\n  \"><\/p>\n<div class=\"dynamic-inset-container article__inset__dynamic\">\n<style>\n            iframe.twitter-tweet {\n                width: 100% !important;\n            }\n        <\/style>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\"><p>\n            <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TravisHoium\/status\/1560349013379006467\"><\/a>\n            <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>In March, Rivian announced a roughly 20% price hike to its R1T pickup and R1S SUV, but quickly reversed course after backlash from customers, and said it would honor prices on existing pre-orders.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Rivian reported a narrower-than-expected quarterly loss, and maintained its goal of producing 25,000 vehicles by the end of the year, after making 4,400 in the second quarter. <\/p>\n<p>Rivian had about 98,000 pre-orders for its electric pickups and SUVs as of June 30, according to its letter to shareholders in July.
