  1. Rivian Lease Tax Credit Question

    It's not a rebate - it is a credit. When leasing the tax credit goes to Chase Bank (aka Rivian Financial Services). It is currently being passed on to the consumer as a Cap Cost reduction when leasing. Being able to offer the credit is a big factor in Rivian getting into the leasing game. The...

  2. Rivian Lease Tax Credit Question

    Virtually any EV purchased for business use and carried as a depreciable asset (leased vehicles fall in this category) are covered by a different section of the tax code (45W). Rivians finance branch gets the credit and passes it along. Consumer purchases are covered under 30D which is the...

  3. Burnt wire in the wall charger

    The wire size is not the cause, and is in fact the largest size allowed when installing the Rivian Wall Charger. The 6 awg wire itself is rated for 75 amps, but when incorporated into NM-B the extra insulation reduces the allowed current to 55 amps. The section of burned wire was not in the...

  5. Burnt wire in the wall charger

    It looks like it was improperly torqued (too little or too much) and it developed into a poor connection causing excess heat. Over time, excess heat degrades the connection further generating even more heat. The end result is what you see. While there are other possibilities, that is the most...

  6. R1S Leasing guidance (Trade in for sales tax exemption - Washington State)

    Qualification is actually based on the fair market value - the total of lease payments only determines the amount of any sales tax exemption. RCW 82.12.9999 Exemptions—Vehicles using clean alternative fuels and electric vehicles. (Expires August 1, 2028.) (1) (iii)(A) Have a fair market value...

  7. How to handle getting the $3750 Fed Tax rebate during purchase and then getting the rest from the Binding Agreement

    It won't. You can take the $3,750 or amend your return and hope the IRS doesn't audit to examine the "Binding purchase agreement". https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/credits-for-new-electric-vehicles-purchased-in-2022-or-before If you take the $3,750 your date placed in service will be...

  8. Poll - Do you plan to place R2 Reservation for $100?

    Don't see an option for: Yes - previously owned an R1 Will absolutely be placing a deposit on the R2. While the R1S is a great vehicle, it was too big for what we needed. Predicting what vehicle(s) we'll need in 3-4 years is a bit of a crapshoot, but I waited that for an R1 and the deposit was...

  9. Has anyone received their refund for an amended 2022 federal tax return?

    Audits rarely happen during filing season, but generally happen within one year of the date the return is filed. But the IRS can start an audit up to three years after the filing date.

  10. Has anyone received their refund for an amended 2022 federal tax return?

    You missed the AND portion Meets State law AND 5% minimum non-refundable

  11. Has anyone received their refund for an amended 2022 federal tax return?

    Because they would have to retroactively examine all sales in 2023, decide which sales qualified and for how much, and then reach back out to customers to get any missing information they need to generate the report. They do not have my SSN/TIN on file The report they are required to provide to...

  12. Has anyone received their refund for an amended 2022 federal tax return?

    I'm not the one making the bet. Everyone counting on the BPA holding up is doing the betting. Rivian has there collective heads up somewhere very dark when it comes to the Tax Credit. I'm still fighting with them to get the report they were required to provide at the time of delivery on my R1S...

  13. Has anyone received their refund for an amended 2022 federal tax return?

    Not how it works. They haven't even looked at the CONTRACT (AFAIK there is no way to submit it with your tax return). Accepting your return is only the first step - are all the referenced forms included, is the math correct, etc. They have not confirmed the actual validity of any deductions or...

  14. Regenerative Braking and motion sickness

    It's too bad Rivian (like Tesla) elected not to use blended braking. The ability to map regen to either pedal can make the EV driving experience easier/more pleasant to a wider audience. There are EV choices out there that allow full one pedal driving or a setting that coasts when off throttle...

  15. Has anyone received their refund for an amended 2022 federal tax return?

    The IRS will issue a refund automatically and only a flag for a later audit will result in a denial of any deduction or credit claimed. Good luck to all that are claiming based on the BPA as it very clearly fails the guidelines that the IRS issued. Not only will repaying the $7,500 hurt, the...

  16. No tax credit for Rivian (effective April 18, 2023)

    AFAIK, Rivian is not supplying customers with purchases in 2023 the documentation required to claim the credit. At least I have been unsuccessful in my attempts. Anyone get the required report? SECTION 5. SELLER’S REPORTS .01 Required Reports under Sections 30D and 25E. For purposes of §...

  17. Anyone who filed for the tax credit get their refund yet?

    Getting a refund doesn't mean they will allow the credit. Like almost all deductions it is automatic (as long as all the required forms are attached) and they will later examine (aka audit) returns they want to take a closer look at. Same principal as claiming a $7,500 donation to a charity -...

  18. Required IRS statement not provided

    The August PBA is worthless by IRS guidelines, and in any case would not apply for deliveries after Dec 31st. 2022. Purchase was under $80K, adjusted income is under the cap, assembled in North America, battery restrictions delayed until the day after the IRS issues the guidelines so the old...

  19. Required IRS statement not provided

    Been a long time since I posted, but thought I'd pop back on with a PSA. Took delivery of my R1S (switched from the R1T), last Saturday As a qualified manufacturer, Rivian agreed to a number of things. Among those is providing a report at the time of purchase (in 2023) with information...

  20. January/Feb delivery windows

    I know of 3 deliveries in the Portland, OR area and one in Bend. None are to people active on this forum (nor are they employees). Don't want to spoil the negative vibes, so I'll step out. Carry on.
