Made out like a bandit!

$67k!? How much did you pay for the truck?

Of course, sometimes paying for peace of mind is worth it based on circumstances. It works for you, so that’s all that matters. It might not have been the right financial choice, but it was the right choice for you. That’s separate from pure smart financial advice, which only cares about $$$$.

💯 the way to go. But if you have good credit the rate will be in the 4s for finance. I have been offered low 3s via my credit union. Best financial advice I ever received: do what gives you more $$ in the end, not what makes you feel good. 😊. You can run the numbers on any bank software or model.

Leases are expensive. R2 deliveries could improve with better communication. 😊

If you plan to keep the asset beyond the loan then you will never be underwater in a relevant way. All that matters is how much you are paying for it vs how much the sticker is - house or car. And horizon for investment return. You will never care about being underwater on a car on a good loan...

Lol are you just spitting out random terms now? This has nothing to do with with financing or not. Houses use water. Cars don’t. Cash is better.

lol I was obviously being tongue in cheek with my specifics. But the principle of financing at good rates and putting your money to work is what every financial advisor would tell you to do. Same with mortgage etc. You just have to have the discipline. In fact, buying a house with a mortgage...

If you get a good rate, it is much better financial decision to finance and invest the principal. Otherwise you are flushing money down the drain. Giving up a good rate makes Zero sense to me.

If you could legit get 240mi @80mph for 80->10, that’s a game changer. Especially if you can get 800V architecture. At that point, in the right areas with the right chargers, you are really close to gas fill up time, with a bathroom break.

If it was truly water intrusion due to a flood, it would an insurance claim, not a warranty fix. Warranties do not cover something like a flood.

lol you got a thread locked without making it past 1 page. I suspect many feel this thread should be locked too.

Prove that you haven’t shown that other brands do not have the same issue? ok - done! Also, did you just use AI to respond to a comment about you using AI? lol, you aren’t very good at this.

But you haven’t answered whether Rivian is an outlier here or if other car brands see similar trends and results. And it’s a little weird to say you aren’t using AI when you clearly are.

I am the opposite of a Tesla fanboy. And I find your posts to be annoying, repetitive, and of 0 positive benefit to the site. Feel free to do as you like. We are free to judge you accordingly.

You are arguing with someone who rarely adds anything to the discussion but snark.

I think the funniest thing is that everyone knows OEM tires do not last as long as non-OEM tires.

Right. But it’s the RR of new tires.

Yeah there’s an epidemic of drivers blinded by LEDs on wheel wells. 🙄
