I would release it in a 2028 gen3 refresh. But I don't work for the company. This would follow the 3 year cycle (gen1 = 2022, gen2 = 2025, gen3 = 2028)
Let me make sure I got this right: $83990 DLP base is $1029/mo with a RV of $48,096.
Looking at the stipulations, Rivian states the lease rate requires a $7k cap cost reduction. This entails your $500 deposit + $6500 cash(if inventoried, $3k incentive applies).
RV = 48096 / 83990 or 57.264%...
Right, I'm calculating the RV because they tell you. I'm using LH to add in the $7k down until the lease payment in LH gets the Rivian amount by increasing MF (APR). Adding cap cost reduction won't change the RV/MF, just reduce payments. With the $3k incentive and $500 deposit, I get $1310/mo...
Awesome. Rivian disagrees with your numbers (so does leasehackr calc). Most expensive DLP I can find in the store is $99,690 (one FG, one HMG). Rivian shows $1208/mo w/o taxes, fees, etc. Leasehackr calculates residual to ~57.065% and RV to ~3.01% to get to $1208/mo. Obv still not...
Good notes. Especially about the "need to" with respect to Lucid incentives. Rivian may be coming to the same situation with the R1S.
Perhaps the 2026 deals are for built units that have been sitting for XXX days. That triggers the "Available Now". Subsequently makes me wonder how Rivian...
I started with the Gravity Grand Touring but quit really quickly. Big delta between their 2026 and 2027 lease rates. 2026 is $950/mo (assume no $2k conquest) with $7.5k cap cost…. Makes it a $1140/mo payment.
I’m just banking on the 0% financing plus $1k+ incentive to show up again.
Ah well...
For grins... I just glanced at the numbers for the BMW iX XDrive60:
Monthly lease payments of $799 per month for 10k/36mo. Base MSRP of $89,950.
Purchase option price at lease end is $47,674, plus the purchase option fee disclosed in the lease contract. Residual is ~53%.
$799/mo is based on...
Here:
Note that it even is dropped for the quad.
You then have residuals (I've never tracked what Rivian publishes on the calculator). % = Residual Value / MSRP. Most all EV residuals will be horrible, especially on the top trims. All the following are foor 10k miles, 36mo:
Dual Large...
Was this during the Feb/Mar promotion or recently and they cut you a financing deal due to your issues? I only ask because I applied for/approved on the 0/0.49% back in Feb/Mar and had a vehicle which was coming in only to back out due to the color spec (really wanted light interior due to...
Haha, I didn't find out my position in line. I used 300k as a wild guess indicating I'm way back in the reservation queue and most likely stand no chance of getting a R2 until 2028.
Most likely doing it to streamline production in Normal.
Make the standard colors $0-$1000. Provide a $4-5k charge for an order of Borealis, RC, Yellow. Similar to German MFR methods.
HMB - Ha, I really want Half Moon Blue.... or shall I say "Catalina Cove". Company streamlining production
R1 colors....
El Cap - All paint used and replaced with HMG
Red Canyon - running last production run and soon to be replaced with CC
LA Silver - Use up all paint and replace with ES
"Proud R1T owner" - Not a proud R1S owner? haha. No need to answer
I just happened to do the daily check for Red Canyon in the store and saw the HMB. Unfortunately the only OC interiors are on the Quads which I don't want. I'm too afraid of SoCal sun + glass roof + black interior. I digress.
I...
I went back into my reservation today and my preferences had been wiped out and had the task to set them in the "awaiting action" stage. Found that odd. I'm like 300k in line so my only hope is SoCal priority. Perhaps they allocated their "Launch Edition" production already and their...
Just got done with a rental tat had the 400mile pack. Not sure what trim, etc... but it had manual seats which were horrid. Also the warning indicator for vehicle ahead was a 6" sub in the seat bottom. Also don't think the dampers were tuned right for the vehicle as it bounced a lot after a...
