In 2021, the consumer would have got a $200/month reduction from federal $7500 incentive alone. The lease rate would be around 8% to equal your $525/mo combining both the federal incentive with the customer down payment.
Just the federal incentive alone and a 4% APR with the same depreciation...

You are 100% correct regarding the lease rate being high. 3% though is the polar opposite... Direct competitor...
For the OP listing suspension and frame, I could see it adding up quick with multiple replacements of suspension components, shafts... then tack on a welded subframe to cast aluminum gen2 replacement (perhaps OP couldn't warranty this even though a known issue). Add in multiple tire sets. All...
This is correct... normally the best incentives are at the end of the quarter. Best deals I've seen werre the Feb/Mar deals when 0/60, 0.49/72 financing was offered. Lease was ok... but nothing like the inclusion of the $7500.
Note that IF there perhaps is R1 gen3 around the corner, there...

In normal mfr/dealer model, the...
Note that I have a sticky that I try to update with the current lease, financing, and random discount offers at the top of this section.
That said, the $7500 wasn’t a true Rivian incentive… it was just a federal incentive passed down which was excellent when leasing a PHEV/EV (if purchasing a...
A few changes for offers:
Order any new R1S or R1T between July 23, 2026 and July 27, 2026 and take delivery by August 31, 2026 and get a $1,000 discount to the vehicle price applied to your order.
R1 Tri financing reduction across the board to 0.99/0.99/1.49/2.99 through 7/31 and taking...
Trend Analysis:
R1 - Residuals down and APR up. Worst case. Increase in inventory incentives on some Dual/Tri
R2 - Slightly lower residual and APR down. Same payment
I haven’t found official gov documentation but I’m am currently basing statements that the point of sale incentive would be based on who the vehicle is registered under.
