I leased an R1S quad motor in February and am casually looking at trading it in for something else. I can't make sense of the fact that (1) the residual is $66K and (2) the buyout from Chase is $76K while I still have ~$28K in payments over 2+ years to make. I wonder if Chase is anticipating the...

Found the car on copart. I’ll be curious to see what it goes for. Whoever took the mileage down must’ve looked at the remaining range ? https://www.copart.com/lot/39042244/2023-rivian-r1s-adventure-ca-vallejo

Yeah I am glad I am leasing this time around - between Rivian working out kinks, battery innovation and increased EV competition, I am guessing resale is going to be shit.

So the body damage came in at $27k but then one of the motors was leaking some fluid. The shop recommended towing the car to Rivian to be inspected and said it'd take weeks to 1 or 2 months for them to look at it. If the motor ws fine, then repairs would've taken 6-9 months. The insurance...

I heard from the estimator at the shop yesterday: - The car has been partially taken apart and he has a revised estimate he is waiting for his tech to review - He said he doesn't think the frame is bent but they have't gotten it up on the machine w/ laser to make that determination - He said...

Yeah I'd hold off on a claim until after I know its fate. My point in telling insurance is so they know it's coming and can factor that into their calculation when determining if it's a total loss or not.

I told the shop I wanted to pursue diminished value and she gave me a referral for an appraiser they say has it down pat and has worked with all the major insurance cos. The appraiser charges ~$400 but I suppose that'll be more than worth it. I also mentioned to the field adjuster from my...

watched the cam footage and the bus didn’t even seem to be slowing down on impact. He must’ve been going 40-50mph. I dropped the car off at the shop and she said repairs would take months unless it’s totaled. She also said the quarter panel appears to be repairable. Let’s see how the car looks...

Oh wow. I mean it’s related to the bikes if loaded but still.

Honestly I’d prefer it to be totaled. I feel like the car will never be the same

no it was on the bus the whole time. You still think the frame is messed up?

Yeah it was on the 101. Insurance claim is filed with my insurance and they’re waiting for the other party’s insurance to accept responsibility. Figured I’d get the repair process started. My insurance quoted 8.5k based on the pics and video they had me submit. Guessing it’ll be quite a bit...

Oh and here is the bus.

I was in the carpool lane and traffic came to a stop. A second or two later, the bus behind me rear ended me pretty good. Protein shake went flying everywhere. I was pretty shaken up. Once we got to the side of the road and I saw the damage of my car vs the bus, I was very impressed with the...

Update - took delivery early on 8/5. My timeline is: - 7/10 - 8 steps opened up - 7/14 - Got email that my car was ready to leave factory. Guide tells me 5-6 weeks - 8/1 - Get email to schedule delivery. Earliest window is 8/8 - 8/3 - My check arrived at Rivian so I texted asking if they could...

My car left Normal 7/14 and got the text hat it arrived from the SC yesterday. I am taking delivery 8/8 - the first date they offered. Hoping there’s some chance I can pick it up earlier if they have a cancellation.

Is there any chance they have a delivery appointment cancellation and I can pick my car up earlier?

Just had the SC reach out to schedule delivery! The first available date provided was 8/8 and I grabbed the first time slot. I wonder if QC is driving the delivery date or if it’s backlog of deliveries needing to happen. In any case, next Tuesday can’t come soon enough!

I’m sure you can - worth confirming with your guide.

I texted my guide Friday about the second "Your car is ready to leave the factory" email and he responded today saying (1) that was a system error and my car was on the way - that it should be here in 2 weeks or less and (2) asked me to upload my current car's proof of insurance. I am hoping the...
