On a more serious note, what Scott mentions might also get you a better vehicle if one has the patience. Most of the issues that new owners are discussing seem to be software issues which will be correctable, but some may be hardware, and, with experience, Rivian is almost certain to initiate...
Would most people declare the profit? Who reports it on what form to the IRS or to the State?
I mean, when I bought my last new car, I got no deduction for its purchase. When I sold it some years later I took no loss on my taxes for the difference between what I had paid minus what I had...
I would certainly hope (dare I say assume?) that they would do much better than that! Even our low tech Volvo drivers profiles include dash display layout, hot and cold starting temps for the cabin, driver and passenger seat heat/cool, steering wheel heat, as well as radio stations, HUD...
I don't mind the extra hassle (and virtually 0 risk) of selling at retail for a larger amount if it's worth enough. In my location we also pay 8.8% sales tax on the net purchase price, so a trade in with Rivian is automatically worth that much more than any competitors. The hard part is...
" The first R1T trucks will be our Launch Edition — marked with special interior badging and offered in an exclusive Launch Green color option. Select this configuration and you'll be among the first in line for an Electric Adventure Vehicle. "
This is one of the reasons I ordered what I...
That was one of the reasons I chose "Launch Edition". Perhaps I misunderstood, but it was my impression that these were going to be the first off the line, limited edition, limited choices, first into the hands of the buyers...
Perhaps this has been discussed in another thread, but does there appear to be any rhyme or reason to the order in which vehicles are being delivered? It doesn't appear to be by pre-order date at all, which is what I would have thought would have been the strongest determinant.
Starting in a similar position as you, I THINK I've put myself in the best compromise I can by simultaneously having a GMC Canyon on order, as initially strange as that may sound.
I need a truck, prefer a mid-sized. Each vehicle has a pretty big list of things I want that the other does not...
Oh no, I put mine on and off while driving all the time; get's cloudy or sunny, sunrise, sunset. Swap out prescription glasses for prescription sunglasses. It's actually kind of a big deal. I would wonder if you could put a peel and stick glasses holder on the underside of the passenger half...
You can add a second set of photo eyes to the garage door at a height that would prevent a future occurrence if you enjoyed the auto open/close. Cheap and easy.
I said something similar about the Saturday event on a Reddit thread: I, too, only got an invite on Thursday as a long time preorder. All the staff were very nice, very patient with everyone. But I got the impression that they were a little overwhelmed trying to get the facility together, the...
