Every time I see someone complain about the CA registration fee I tell them they're much better off than being in Virginia. Virginia charges annual personal property tax on vehicles. It's based on an arbitrary valuation that is inconsistent from county to county. Our 2023 personal property tax...

What also comes into play is location and timing. Carvana, KBB, etc adjust prices constantly based on market demand. We sold a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee to Carvana in 2021, after six years of ownership, for around 8k less than we bought it for new. Used car prices were crazy at the time. In Nov...

Absolutely not. If there's a fault with something I'm all for pointing that out and Rivian working to improve. But your post without any source of real information just perpetuates an unverified data point that has been beaten to death on an online forum. Plus the forums are crawling with trolls...

What is your real, based on facts and statistical data, source for your information and the quality of the glass compared to other OEM's? Going by your profile you don't own a Rivian.

Rivian will let you work with any Rivian certified body shop to replace an R1 windshield. Our insurance worked directly with the body shop and covered the glass replacement and recalibration. Rivian’s cost also includes a recalibration of sensors. This is not a Rivian specific item, and you’ll...

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Keep in mind in 2022 pretty much every Rivian delivered was an R1T. (Outside of EDVs) So the R1T backlog was filled before the R1S backlog. In 2023 Rivian also stated that most of their R1 production was R1S, which makes sense. 2024 on we're going to see sales of R1's that are mostly new...

There’s a RAN location right off of 95 in Belcamp, MD. It’s in a shopping center with a grocery store and food options. Rivian chargers are reliable. There’s a RAN in Newark as well. The EA station in Abingdon, MD is a larger station and it’s reliable. PlugShare is also a good options for...

This looks like a typical lineup of Tesla's at some of the Super Chargers in the NoVA/DC area. And that was before Ford and Rivian gained access. Tesla owners are going to come to hate other EV's and Tesla for opening their network up.

This. We’ve been on a few 2-week plus trips since getting our R1 and we just leave it plugged in.

Spoken like a true Tesla owner. Rivian was super easy to purchase with and their lease terms are pretty clear. It’s no different than going to a dealer.

You are correct here regarding leases. When leasing the goal should be as small of a capital reduction cost as possible. This will push the monthly payment up, but you’re less out of pocket at lease start. It’s not like a straight purchase where there’s more of a benefit to putting more money...

There are some details missing here or you didn't read the fine print of the lease terms. This is typical with all manufacturers. They advertise a lease price, for example Rivian is currently advertising $559/mo for an R1, but there's fine print. (See below) The total due at signing will also...

That residual seems normal for current interest rates and the typically higher rate associated with a lease. Leases are notorious for not being transparent in the rate. That’s also a big down payment on a lease. Yes, it’s lowering your monthly payment, but the benefit of a lease is less cash...

Overall I think the numbers are good, but Bloomberg went positive. Yahoo went negative on the headline saying RIVN missed production estimates. Gotta love it.

RIVN Deliveries: The company reported first-quarter deliveries of 13,588, a sequential decline of around 3%, which is smaller than the 10% to 15% decline it forecast in February. (From the above Yahoo Finance post) Also: "The company said that they have produced a few thousand additional...

Just to confirm, did you double check the VIN of the truck they delivered to make sure it matched the VIN you picked from the shop? Does the manual cover show up on the window sticker? (which should have come with the truck)

Sorry this happened. Keep a set of jack pucks in your truck. This is the first accessory we bought even before the truck was delivered.

So many things could be the issue: Battery pack will charge slower above 80% Charger could be the issue and not putting out enough power As mentioned above, the vehicle has a charging curve and will top out around 220, from 0-20% state of charge the battery will charge slower, then faster from...

I suspect aimed very much at the European market. Plus, filing the void of the hot hatchback, which doesn't really exist anymore.
