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.
Age/Responsibility is the key... I'm not giving my TM3 to my son. No matter how much trust I have... there is too much temptation.
There is a kid who drives a TM3 (unknown trim)... but his car is EASILY recognizable around town and driving in our neighborhood and he is an accident waiting to...
You need to live in SoCal with all the BMW to Tesla converts that drive like idiots :p
In going from my BMW M3 to the TM3, I chose the TM3 AM AWD specifically because it had plenty of go juice and I drive around in "chill" mode 98% of the time. The only switch is if I'm next to an EV at the...

The Rivian upgrade "improves" from 4.5s to 3.4s (~25%) and gives and addition 3 preset drive mode...

Dark Accents (formerly $1000), AT wheels, underbody shield - less range due to HW
Basically, what is your use case.
Not sure how the min/max limits in the RAD Tuner with regard to the "Acceleration" setting and 'Relaxed' = 0% and 'Responsive' = 100% impact the 1200 ft/lb torque and 1025hp values.... But it would be interesting to test drive a Quad Motor, pull up RAD Tuner and then drive in 0% and 100%...
Math wise...
Its a little bit more than $5k carrying taxes and interest using same terms in financing
Its "only" $3,265.21 using Rivian promo financing terms for 6yr loan\
If leasing, the Performance adds $16/mo to the payment under 3/30 BUT being given $3k incentive is $83/mo over the 36...
