I've been having the same back and forth. I don't need the quad performance and prefer the added range of a DM but the quad leases are enticing.
I have a DM order that has a 61% residual and 0.00212 money factor on a 12k, 3 yr lease.
My delivery has been delayed and my Guide confirmed I can...
Some more definitive numbers....
DM Large Pack R1S
61% Residual and 0.00212 Money Factor
12,000 mile, 36 month lease
Numbers are from my Guide on an upcoming delivery.
Same. And here I was getting myself all excited my config was finally being built. ?♂️
The delivery window and my shop access both disappeared yesterday.
Good taste! I configured that exact build (Limestone) in October with a large pack. Rivian's anticipated delivery was within 4 months at time of config but it's been crickets, despite having a Dec/Jan delivery estimate at one point. I digress though.
Let me hit a few of your points....
When...
Fair points. Understood and agree. I read your post as if it was implying the significant amount of excavation in GA (noted in this thread) was an apples-to-apples alternative to the piles in SC. Much excavation has little to do with soil improvement but rather grading and general site work...
This is not accurate.
Rammed or vibrated aggregate piers are used based on the site's geotechnical report which maps out the soil conditions. If the soil does not have enough capacity, these "stone columns" provide additional bearing capacity for the foundations that will be installed above...
I called my guide about doing the same. Configured in October.
She said the standard batteries aren't yet configurable, including std+, and won't be until the summer. She seemed to imply that so long as you're not scheduled for production, changes are possible, but changing to the std isn't...
I spoke to my guide about changing my large to standard+ and was told that standards (including std+), won't be configurable until the summer.
It's odd (or maybe a wise marketing strategy) that on Day 1 of the announcement there were a handful of std+ in the shop but now they're no longer...
I'm in the same boat as a few others on this thread.... configured in October, Dec-Jan estimate, and now shop access for a few weeks.
When does the 8 step process begin and we get a more definitive delivery window (assuming waiting for our config)? Is it prior/after it's manufactured? How long...
Congrats! Glad to hear the S is a winner. Can I read between the lines that you had some delivery issues? Care to share?
Also, out of curiosity, when did you confirm your configuration? 9/2022 R1S reservation. Confirmed last month. Awaiting a delivery estimate. Central NJ here.
That's great to hear if it's up and running in any capacity. As a confirmed order, awaiting a delivery estimate, I can only hope the stars are aligning!
No substantive update but someone on reddit a few months back noted they heard Trenton was going to be a "mobile service center."
Multiple job listings have been posted for both Trenton and Edison for months, all the Trenton jobs have a "field service" title.
