Purchasing advice - Gen 1 vs Gen 2

[COdogman]

If you “love” Rivian then you probably understand their charging network is not the same as Tesla’s in more ways than one. Rivian offsets the power used by its charging network with renewable energy. That isn’t free. It may not be important to you, but it makes a difference to me. Combine that with multiple other charging options that allow me to avoid putting a penny in Leon’s pocket and I will use RAN wherever it is available.

No one is forcing you to use Tesla. You simply chose to do so.

Still on the market. CarMax didn’t bother to fix the Rivian I reserved. They just released my reservation after a couple of days and sold it to another unsuspecting buyer (it’s an assumption but it was sold immediately after my reservation disappeared). Figured that would happen.

Hey all, I'm new to the forums. I'm pretty much in the same boat as the OP. Scouring all the places daily for the right one. I found a Jan 2023 quad that I really like, but is that too early? Also anyone know how to better filter carmx or carvana for all terrain mode? Finding the needles in the haystack is time consuming.

Is it a Rivian Blue? I traded mine in a month ago (for a Gen 2) and am hoping it is finding a new home. I actually have no idea when in 2023 is was built. I‘d say 2023 is a bit hit or miss, but I looooooooved mine and had nearly no issues. I traded just cause I wanted more range and like new stuff.

I’m pretty sure that Tesla has been 100% renewable energy for their superchargers for a few years now.

No, it's white with green interior.

If you can hack it, st least a 2025 Gen 2! It’s what i got and I would say it’s pretty stable build (for me anyway).
