So really, the price gap is $40k or more until R2s are actually delivered.

R2s are already being delivered to customers.
There is no honest way to manufacture a $40k price gap.
Look again, cheapest R2 is $44,990. Deliveries haven’t started on that trim but they are less than a year away.
You are incorrect when you say that Rivian isn’t delivering R2s. Factually untrue. This claim of a $40k+ price gap is absurd.
