Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
Where is your R1S located? I was able 'expedite' my order by requesting a demo drive. Once in the service center, I told the demo drive representative I have an R1T on order in their facility. She made some calls and was able to schedule delivery in 5 days.
This is very personal decision. For me, the demo R1T I purchased just hit the right check boxes (pre-price hike pricing, point-of-sale tax credit and full warranty).Hi all - in a bit of a predicament here and would love any advice.
I am based in Los Angeles, and was going to pull the trigger on the $699/mo Quad motor lease deal that is currently going on the R1S, and was going to do a 0 down, which would give me a $902/mo payment for 36mo with 10k miles. Below breakdown of what I was going to do. This would be on a 92K MSRP.
I then came across the Demo Cars Shop and made the following reservation on a 2023 R1S with 5464 miles on it. The config is superior to the lease option with upgraded interior color (need to see the green in person) and 20" All Terrain Dark wheels. Most importantly, it is priced at $73,400+taxes/fees, and I would be financing this.
I am in no rush, and want to just make the right decision with hopefully the best deal. Given the Refresh that is coming up, the depreciation of EVs and the above 2 options in terms of leasing vs purchasing and the associated priced cars, what would you recommend?
Not very often- I think Rivian is still on their first round of demo vehicle sale- America loves SUVs, so the R1S can disappear as soon as they come up-- mostly from cancellations, for one reason or another at this point.
ATL - so not local to me. Will ping my sales guide tomorrow as it's been 2 weeks since I reserved.
I've only seen 3 dumps. At the beginning back in early March when the demos first appeared... once again in late March and then late April. Every time the R1Ses sold out in minutes. I recall seeing one in March and thinking "yeah I should put my name on this" and it was gone before I could reserve it lol
Compass Yellow for the win. I hope you're not a Bears fan lol. I wanted a Red R1S for the wife to go with my yellow R1T but couldn't have Chiefs colors in the driveway. So we found an awesome Black, college colors not Steelers lol.
According to the Rivian guide, only orders from Normal, IL can be shipped to other states. In all other states, the customer will have to travel and pick up.
Yes but that was not true back in early March when demos first appeared. Rivian did ship them across the country but changed that rule a few weeks later. Rivian guide told me no POS tax credit either (I booked R1T first in early March but let it go) but it seems that has changed recently too. Now it seems you can buy and register demos in the states (I.e MD) they list as not possible lol.
How are you finding R1S's in the demo inventory? Everytime i check it's all R1Ts...Hi all - in a bit of a predicament here and would love any advice.
