  1. High Money Factor Gen2 R1S lease

    Nothing is really negotiable, sadly... The money factor and residual are both set. I tried negotiating both with the delivery team and the guide -- to no effect. Best bet is to scour these forums and look for folks offering a friends/family discount!
  2. High Money Factor Gen2 R1S lease

    I asked my guide… but yes you can plug it into an online lease calculator too.
  3. High Money Factor Gen2 R1S lease

    Interesting, really? I thought that if you purchased mid-lease, you had to pay all remaining rent & depreciation charges? I’ve bought at end of lease several times, but never mid-lease. My hope is to keep the Rivian beyond 3 years - am leasing in part to get the fed lease credit, and to have an...
  4. High Money Factor Gen2 R1S lease

    Yes we’re definitely in (if at the tail end of) a stretch of high interest rates, no argument there. I’m just accustomed to seeing below-market money factors and APRs for car leases / purchases - including Rivian’s offer of 2.9% for a purchase. But I guess there’s enough demand for these cars...
  5. High Money Factor Gen2 R1S lease

    Hi all, I’m taking delivery next week of an R1S dual motor performance. Just got a lease offer for a 36 month lease with 63% residual (great!) and a MF of 0.00327 (terrible!). I’ve got top tier credit and solid income, low debt., etc., so I can’t fathom why the MF would be so high. And the...
  6. Gen 2 R1 Delivery Waiting Room ā³ Post Your Orders!

    Nice -- almost the same as mine (we picked Slate Sky interior). You already have a guide assigned? We ordered just a week after you . . . would love to have some step / progress, even just the assignment of a guide, to for the feeling of momentum! lol.

    We were also considering the EX90 (this Rivian will replace a beloved XC90 we've had for 6 years). What swayed you in favor of the Rivian? I still haven't driven either -- but the combination of range, power, and exterior style were enough to push me to Rivian. And the repeated delays with the...
  8. ? 2025 R1S Ascend: You can now choose SLATE SKY + WALNUT WOOD interior! ?

    I admit to anti-RAM bias too... My only non-European cars over 30+ years of driving have been a Tesla and (soon) a Rivian. ?ā€ā™‚ļø @Davethadog you're the second person who's mentioned not LOVING the ascend trip, others have seemed to love it. I need to see in person before the car shows up -- at...
  9. ? 2025 R1S Ascend: You can now choose SLATE SKY + WALNUT WOOD interior! ?

    Oooh that’s very nice - same exact build as mine but just a different blue. I love the Rivian Blue - we went back and forth between the two blues. Glad to hear multiple users have praised the ascend trim. I can’t wait to see it. I love ordering cars (and I have done it many times) bc you get...
  10. ? 2025 R1S Ascend: You can now choose SLATE SKY + WALNUT WOOD interior! ?

    Yes once you add to dual motor the performance option, dynamic roof, enhanced sound, max battery . . . the difference is like $5k. Which feels trivial to step up to Tri motor and get the ascend trim. The number of times I went back and forth configuring both ways! ?

    Sirna7 I agree with you! In thr vids and photos it’s drool-worthy. But after zoro25’s comment I worry the vids/pics may be deceiving. Will have to go check out in person…
  12. ? 2025 R1S Ascend: You can now choose SLATE SKY + WALNUT WOOD interior! ?

    Bummer to hear you weren’t a big fan. From pics and videos it does look gorgeous and premium & plush - the fabric (or at least soft-touch) backs of the front seats, the extra touches of plaid fabric accents, etc. Funny thing is that the Ascend trims actually helped ā€˜upsell’ me to the tri-max -...
  13. ? 2025 R1S Ascend: You can now choose SLATE SKY + WALNUT WOOD interior! ?

    A few folks mentioned seeing videos of Slate Sky + Walnut Wood interior -- could one of you share a link? I've ordered a Tri Max w/ Storm Blue and Slate Sky interior, without having seen anything in person. I think I'm gonna love it but am slightly weirded out by the 2-tone -- would love to see...

    Taking deep breaths after pulling the trigger yesterday on this beast: - Tri Max - Storm Blue / Slate Sky Interior - 22" Sport Bright Wheels I *really* don't need all the power of the Tri-Max! But I love the Storm Blue paint and the Ascend interior enough that I justified stepping up to the...
