Visuals of GM is downgrade. I prefer the prior look and set of fonts. I want to maximize the screen real estate and see a larger map on the display. I’m sure Rivian will make improvements.
If you don’t have cash to buy it out, and plan on financing, do NOT buy it out. Makes no sense. That MF rate is reasonable and a fair amount of interest for optionality and the benefits that come with a lease.
3 row SUV demand will continue to remain high. An efficient 3 row SUV? Even higher. A 2025 Honda Pilot imo is great value, until you start driving it because MPG is awful - reportedly 14-22, city/highway. The R1S is in a league of its own (no one wants to buy a Kia), especially if you get...
Do you have cash to buy out your vehicle or are you considering financing? The EV lease credit loophole is great if you buy out in full with cash. If you intend to finance, the interest you pay, which is likely more than 4.9%, neutralizes the benefit of the loophole.
4.9% is very...
Unless the money factor (interest on a lease) is a good rate. I picked up a Max Pack DM Performance last week and MF converted is under 5%. I was surprised at how low it is, and cancelled my plan to buy out immediately. I will comfortably continue to lease since it allows to protect against...
120 V outlet doesn’t work, otherwise, great vehicle. Those Video Influencers are haters or just being too nitpicky. Find me a vehicle without bad apples
OP has every right to complain. 120V outlet is a feature of the vehicle and for $70-100K, it SHOULD WORK. Never, ever, compromise if you’re paying big bucks on a vehicle. That is why BMW and Mercedes are top luxury brands because their drivers demand PERFECTION as they should. Rivian...
When can we expect true 500 mile range in a broad range of environments and speeds?
I drove a few hundred miles in freezing temperatures @70-75mph and averaged 1.4 m/kwh. One of the worst road trips I experienced because it required 4 charges each way.
Range in winter is a big problem, I...
OK, so what I’ve gathered here so far is:
1. Zero down
2. 10k miles
3. Check online and call Chase repeatedly
estimated savings: 5-6k
I paid about 2100 in fees when I leased. What fees if any are required when you buy out the vehicle? That should be deducted from the estimated savings.
I...
