Rivian announced their 2021 production numbers yesterday (11-Jan-2022)

R1T, R1S, EDV production: 1,015
(including 12 R1T in Q3 and 1,003 total of all types in Q4)

R1T, R1S, EDV deliveries: 920
(including 11 R1T in Q3 and 909 total of all types in Q4)
But the EDV seems to be 90% of that production and that's not the "truck of the year".

I too feel something that may only amount to a few thousand deliveries in 2022 shouldn't be considered "available". The Ford Lightning is probably as good as the Rivian and although they will make probably 10 times as many in 2022 it really wont be available widely until 2023 or even 2024.
