You mean a trade in reduces the amount of basis for the sales tax of the new car? All the examples I’ve seen with trades at Rivian are where the Rivian offer are so low that you’re still better off taking the sales tax hit if you’re trying to optimize for maximum savings. But going with the...

If you can swing the lease buyout amount, you’re probably better off selling to Carvana or carmax. While neither will do a direct lease buyout of a Tesla lease, they’ll probably offer more money for the Tesla after you buy it out. Rivian trade ins are in general on the lower end. Rivian website...

Tesla does the same thing

I love the interior. I will promptly forget this car even exists and never think of it again :)

Ya feels like terrible sales training. Unless they have an overriding objective to get you into a R1 today. The R1 interior is solid from a touch and aesthetic perspective. Not a lot of hard cheap plastics, especially on the upper half of the cabin. It falls short a bit from the rattles that...

T1 luxury 😂😂😂

Do you have the vehicle back yet to look at the simple 24hr drain summary? My guess is that the motion cameras kept activating and recording.

Also, if your estimate is on the borderline of total or not, you can voice your preference. Years ago the adjuster asked me exactly this when there was flood damage, and he helped push it to the total territory after I told him I’d prefer that.

Looks like a straight on hit. Lack of paint transfer and scrapes, just pushed in. Wild. So sorry. Any local business with cameras?

Not my experience selling to carmax for my R1s. They paid out exactly to the online quote after a quick look around inside and out, with a quick lap around the parking lot. The offer was 4k more than what Rivian was offering. Covered my Lyft ride home from the lot too. Carvana when I used them...

I had mine replaced two months ago. I’m surprised that the replacement failed so quickly… aw well shit happens. Glad they took care of you. I like the peeps at canton and Chelsea

I got rid of my R1S and did not get another Rivian primarily because third row access became an issue without the center pass through option. I would have gone with another R1S if they offered captains chairs. Secondary reasons include suspension that my passengers, especially in the rear did...

Mini is struggling. In the era of larger and larger cars, their whole identity is being challenged. I hope they don’t die, but I think they’ll at most be a niche choice (the mini coopers). The countryman is a whole other discussion

Yup! I’m around. I’m in Newton but could go meet you in Natick - going to lookout farm at 89 pleasant st. Cheers

Set of Jack Pucks. $70. You know em, you love em. Will ship at buyers expense.

$50 shipping at buyers expense. In Boston MA area. Cheers

In my area Rivians are incredibly common. Three neighbors within the same block as me have them. School pickup drop off is a steady procession of rivians. I expect the uptake for R2 to be very very strong here

Shocked that they skipped the first or second thing to do - try with a different set of wheels and tires. Or even swap front and back to see if the vibration goes elsewhere. Aw well. If you need a specialized wheel balance and repair place, I can send you a great recommendation. Most wheel...

There’s residual and there’s buyout. Residual is a set amount that is supposed to be the cost - depreciation of the vehicle over the lease period. You essentially pay for that amount financed to lease the car. You can buy out the lease at any point before the end as well. That amount you pay is...
