Makes sense, especially if that report of thousands stockpiled at Normal is true.

Not as good a deal as it looks. Max pack is $6000, Performance is $5000, so a total of $11,000. So in effect they are giving you a 60% discount...And id call the Perf package "not worth it" until it gets to $2000, which is what Tesla sells their MY perf upgrade for. I got the Max upgrade for $3000 (50% off) and $3500 off the lease (IIRC) for getting a trade quote for my Tesla - but not actually trading it in. So, i basically got the Max pack for free - tho its not worth anywhere close to $6000! The Max packs dont seem to be moving, which just says the market has spoken and they dont see them as worth $6000.

On the other side, i keep getting similar emails from tesla to buy a new MY. Not biting...

Whatever it takes to move inventory sounds great to me.

I got a basic foot long Subway sandwich today and it was $17.50. Now wait for the tariffs to kick in. Interesting times ahead.

That was a very expensive subway location and not typical.

Tempting. But, gen 2 seems to have a lot of software issues. And, I do not want a car payment. Not in this economy. Hell no.

Yes, I know many who are holding off on a major purchase right now. To be fair with any software issues, they are and will continue to iron these out with updates.

Why don’t they put the incentives clearly on Rivian.com. The website is horrible in providing information. And not very user friendly.

Perhaps this isn't for everyone? I have an R2 deposit, maybe they're targeting these folks?

Price of an R2(so far) is a lot less than a new R1. They can target them all they want, different buyers.

I didn't get the one you got but did get this one. I do not have R2 reservation. No I was not interested.
