Useless dickhead comment. So many vindictive folks on this forum.

I confirmed configuration last night on a shop R1. You’d essentially lease a vehicle with an initial total value of $18,000 less than w/o voucher. So I believe it’s applied to both payment and residual-could be wrong.

Agree, it’s borderline cringe.

What?

Lease noob here. But I’m considering this now that prehike orders are included, the monthly would be <$700/month. I don’t want to end up owning an antique valueless EV within a few short years with all of the quickly evolving technology, out of warranty with unrealistic repair costs. How does...

I had a similar impression from his monograph. Like he’s salivating at the fact we have a deadline now…for the greater good no less.

I read the entire thread and haven’t seen one post of outrage.

They don’t offer leasing to pre-hike orders. If they did, I’d sign on.

Same. Although it would suck, I would have to respectfully walk away from a forced purchase right now.

Sounds perfectly normal to me? What’s the big deal? Is it supposed to sound like semi truck?

In a similar situation amongst other things but I’d be willing to pay for it. Impending comments “pre price hike reservations really shouldn’t be honored anymore” or “I suspect Rivian is going to give you a deadline” etc.

I was actually being serious. Can we really not rest our elbow on the dang thing without denting the hood or door panel? Or was that guy just being dramatic?

Wait. Leaning anywhere on an R1 series, such as the hood, with our elbows will dent it?

Glad you found that interesting! I’ll continue to take advantage as long as I need to and/or am permitted to. I don’t expect nor demand guarantees. I may decide to purchase 2-3rd qtr this year, but given an ultimatum right now-I certainly wouldn’t pay the updated pricing.

People have been saying they’ll give original reservation holders an ultimatum for >1 year. Some of us just aren’t ready for various reasons. I don’t think Rivian is going to boot potential/almost guaranteed buyers. But I do find it interesting Rivian owners have the fever dream that they will.

I’m not upset about it but actually agree with you. Wish they’d offer leasing to preorders. Yes, we still exist. Someone mentioned it wouldn’t be profitable for them since there is no guarantee of purchase at lease expiration…well neither is selling the vehicle at $80k. That makes no sense. It’s...

What does it look like at night/turned on?

Now that is cool.

Might help if you provide everyone with some examples of which trucks you consider looking “manly”. Also, what does your presence in a tourist meca have anything to do with the thread?

Realizing this isn’t the norm…I think, it’s still just one more reason why I refuse to take delivery in 2023 as my daily driver. There’s no way in hell I’d ever have time for any of this annoying stuff.
