Michigan Looking for R1T, maybe even R1S asap

[Rivian635]

Honestly you can just wait until the beginning of 2023 and get one for MSRP or less. Buying one second hand in the next 6 months would be a horrible decision.

Assuming Rivian catches up by early 2023 there will be plenty of Rivians available on lots. Like all EVs people will buy it without being prepared for owning an electric car and trade it in shortly after.

Next 6-8 months? Bad decision.
Whenever Rivian catches up and there are 5k+ cars on the road? Easy to find a lightly used R1T.

Unless the number of orders jumps significantly once people start seeing these on the road. One of the early non employee owners said it is unbelievable how many people stop to talk, take pictures, etc... That will lead to orders.

Considering offering my R1T launch edition with a delivery window of April/May. Message me if interested.

Well clearly you aren't THE enthusiast! Jeeze.

There are thousands of new Ford Broncos on the road, and they are going for 20K+ over sticker, even used. I would expect similar for Rivian for at least a year after mass production starts, and we don't know when that will really begin.

Thank you for the replies.
Some of the replies were expected, so I appreciate your confirmation.
I am totally aware that some people waited a long time - similarly to Tesla Plaid people and they started selling their cars after a few month. The plenty of sugar comment is understood

Hey Drive - I have a March/April Delivery date on an R1T. Let me know if you want to buy my spot in line. Dm me.

Well, yeah, now it's a mess. Anyone with a preorder will be getting a car that is simply worth at least 15k more than what they paid.

Think we're going to see a lot, lot of people buying it, getting the tax rebate, and flipping it. As much as people might want or even love the car, getting a free $20k+ is a big deal.

This made me chuckle.

Is it a free $20K if you have to pay exorbitant prices for lesser vehicles? It's kind of like a raise equal to COLA just keeps you where you were, not wealthier.

I think of it as a customer loyalty coupon.

Seriously? Lol! Must be a Russian oligarch trying to shield their money from the coming sanctions.

I love that this was the first thing I saw when I clicked on the thread. I was laughing at the thread already thinking "welcome to the club pal"
