From this, I learned there is a Q8 Etron refresh. Production halted previously at the 2024 model. I bought a used one a couple of months ago.

My lease was ending 11/26. I was probably mid pack in my R2 deposit. I was pretty sure it wasn’t going to happen, and I had a very cheap prepaid lease on an Equinox EV (fed $7500, Costco, etc) so I sold the lease on Swap a Lease, bought a like new Audi Q8 E-Tron for $38k. I really like it, but...

I get it that they should do better. But that husband/wife profile thing is truly a first world problem, isn’t it?

Not a Rivian owner (R2 listed) but as far as Audi and BMW, the Q6 and the upcoming iX3 are similarly sized and compare to the R2m not the R1S. I have a (Used) Q8 Etron which is a great driving car, but a less than perfect road tripper due to range and port location. Using Tesla’s chargers can be...

I bought a used 2024 Q8 Etron while waiting for the R2. But, I may stretch that out to the R3X, as I do like driving the Etron.

I decided to wait a bit, maybe a year +, to let some bugs out of the R2. The lidar stuff adds to that. I bought a like new Q8 2024 Audi Etron for now. They are great deals IMHO.

I didn’t think my ordered R2 would be available for 12-18 months, so I bought a 2024 AudiQ8 etron. The technology isn’t class leading for sure, but it rides beautifully, has a wonderful interior, is rated at 285 mi range, and at $38k with 20k miles I won’t take a beating if I do end up moving...

That’s me! I had an early order on an R1S but we decided it was just too big. Now awaiting an R2. But an Audi Q6 lurks there, get a lightly used one for $10k+ off by the time the R2 is out. The R2 looks much cooler, the trimotor a rocket ship. But I don’t want to be waiting 3 months for a...

I think I’m sunk for a 11/26 delivery when my current EV lease is up. Might buy a used place holder for a year or 2, maybe get the kinks out anyway. I’m in if it’s available.

Because of poor EV resale values, I’ve become a used vehicle shopper. When my Equinox EV (a “place holder”) lease expires next year, my first choice will be a lightly used Audi Q8 Etron, if my R2 isn’t available and I’m not convinced it will have long term reliability. The Audi isn’t the newest...

I’d look hard at a used etron gt, but the range isn’t there. If my R2 isn’t ready when my current lease is up 11/26, I’ll get a used Low mileage q8 etron. Road trip!

I’ll bet that Lucid I see there isn’t bad either!

Orange metallic!

I’m on the wait list, but my current lease (Equinox EV AWD) is done 11/26. Now I’m thinking I’ll get a nice Q8 Etron in the $35k range, and await the R3. I would spend more for the exact R2 I want, but it’s looking like that won’t happen by that date, and I’m not spending $60-$70k (OTD) unless...

Maybe was a B student. But getting an A at Stanford while doing typical college stuff wasn’t that easy. At least for me.

“In effect” was accurate. Learn some English. Nothing I said was against the spirit of the conversation. Basically, the thought was if you aren’t willing to put up with the problems Rivian presents, don’t get one.

Maybe not. But when companies put their efforts into production and sales with insufficient customer support for inevitable repairs, it’s a prescription for disaster. Remember, the R1 was first delivered to customers 12/21. That’s pushing 4 years. I would expect better by now. I’m waiting to...

I’d blow them up too for this crap. I’ve owned at least 30 cars, never had to wait 2 months for an appointment.

Perfect. And I’m 79.

My lease on an Equinox EV is up 11/26. I’m somewhere in the R2 que. Odds on this working out?
