I personally think we are going to be in for a surprise when these early trucks/SUV's start hitting ebay and similar sites. My intuition tells me the people who sold an LE for 5k might be kicking themselves.
I have an april-may R1S LE and will be watching the resale market very closely. Range...
I'm glad the better looking 20" wheels are now a no cost option.
My paid for Tacoma depreciates about $1 a day so I'm not that concerned about my delivery date (R1S #18XX) while obviously still being excited.
I won't be surprised at all if you see these for sale second hand for $100k+ within a week of deliveries. It happens with literally every limited product on earth.
And I'm thrilled for both parties involved, they both get what they wanted.
Bumping this...
I have an LE R1S reserved at this point, and I preferred the look of the R1T 20" wheel and currently have them equipped. However to spend $1800 on a 20, when I can get 22's for "free" seems silly. So I was also exploring the ideas of a more aggressive tire. I live in Utah and...
You're probably a ways out still from needing to choose. Just wait and see what the market is like. When you need to confirm you will know delivery timeline and what these are selling at.
*IF* people are buying these for 10-20k over sticker there is nothing "douchey" about flipping it.
As...
I also really prefer the 20's from the R1T. Hopefully thats an alternative for the R1S. Right now I have my build equipped with the 22's, but living in the mountains would require a better tire option in the winter.
I'm optimistic for september. My R1S LE order number is 1,8XX. I'll be happy as long as I get it before the ski season starts. If it's ready August 1st I'll be excited.
I originally configured with the 22" option. I reserved an R1S, but I prefer the 20's on the R1T. If those are available for the R1S I'll do that. Those Perelli AT's are really good in the snow and not noticeably louder on the road.
Spot on. We will see what happens. I've been historically very happy with the results of SPAC investments and am currently holding several without targets so I'm selfishly hoping for this route. Cheers
Right!
Keep in mind the SPAC also doesnt need to absorb the entire company. If Rivian is worth $25-50B a SPAC can participate in almost any series of group fundraising prior to the public offering.
I cant imagine any company bringing a $80k~ automotive product to market with many issues from a user interface/experience/roadworthy perspective. This is going to be competitive with every other highline product from known manufacturers.
I dont need to drive a Model X, Cayenne or a 700hp Land...
A lot more companies are going public via SPAC's versus IPO's recently. These are more accessible to retail investors, but unpredictable regarding what company you may end up investing into.
Lots of information online regarding how these work and the risk/return associated.
