Came across this on youtube. Dealer clearly doesn't know much about the truck. They are asking a breathtaking $145,790 (which includes a $790 dealer "handling" fee). If you consider that they are selling $400 and $500K Porches, maybe the R1T at $150K is a bargain?

In the video the dealer boasts about everyone at the dealership driving the truck "around the block" so I guess that is what you are getting for your handsy, I mean handling fee...

This is the unfortunate but inevitable outcome of insane demand and supply chain constraints.

Pretty significant scuffs on the Tonneau cover with just 133 miles on it.

Seems sacrilegious to put Porsche plates on it. I bet that really grinds rjs gears…

I haven’t seen one delivered that didn’t have lines similar to that, but maybe not as pronounced. It rubs something in the retraction. If it didn’t come with launch edition I would have selected a manual cover.

The lines on the tonneau cover are very obvious. They could have taken some time and got the truck cleaned up for the video but they didn't even care enough to do that.

They know someone will buy it either way.

With more and more resales happening, I've decided that I find it amusing now. Rivian is delivering quite a few of these things and they won't be rare at all in just a few months. I know I've said it before, but hardly a day goes by where I don't see one on the road here.

Another video from the same dealership.

They point to a panel alignment and trim alignment issue at the end of this one. The VIN number shows it is in the 4 thousands so this should be a fairly new build.

Similar but this one has 300 ish miles on it and we know Kyle put 3000 miles on his! :cool:

It would be hilarious if RIVIAN was selling their own cars to dealerships at a markup to make up for the money lost on honoring our pre March 1 price increase.

Well played, RIVIAN. Well played!!! :CWL:

Maybe in Cali they are common, but they aren’t going to be common anywhere else for years…

common, uh huh. Rivian aims to produce 15,000 combined T & S this year. Tesla sold 1/3rd million vehicles in Q1 this year. I'd say Rivians are going to be extraordinarily rare for about a decade.

I get that, however I meant it more from a perspective of the market value should drop pretty quickly as more hit the road. But ya, I guess if the market value drops 20-30k maybe that's no big deal to these buyers.
