Check to see if Tesla actually still has SERVICE in your area. I'm in Chicagoland and they abandoned the area around 2022.
We had ours installed in 2020 and they messed up and cause a roof leak. I made a call, and someone showed up pretty quickly. I ended up having to fight them to fix the...
Using that same math, Rivian loses $108k on every R1 sold.

Question on the "taxable amount" for states that lower the amount based on trade-in. Does having a loan still out on the trade-in car cancel out any of that? Rivian isn't giving a great trade-in value for our Model S, but dropping the tax rate helps a lot.
Without discussing if the pre-existing contract stuff counts, if it qualified for my preorder, would anything change if I bought one from the R1 Shop instead?
I just got access to the shop (same 4 R1S's for 3 days straight in the listing?) and want to make sure I don't cause an unforced error...
