I didn’t want to post this until I actually did the deed in case somehow it was all some kind of big mistake. I’m not posting to brag, but rather to let folks know not to sleep on the trade in! Rivian offered $63,000 for my 2020 Tesla Model Y Long Range (only upgrade from the base model was 20” wheels), which is just over $9,000 more than I paid for it. I guess the confluence of gas prices, supply chain, rising EV demand, and the crazy used car market in general are really inflating car values right now.

I picked up my R1T (Pre-March preorder Adventure, FG/BM, 21”, power tonneau) for $13,600 ($74,950 base price + $2650 fees and taxes -$1000 deposit -$63,000 trade in). After the Federal Tax rebate, the total net cost of the upgrade from Model Y to R1T will end up being $6,100. I’ll post a thread later on my impressions between the two after I have more miles under my belt, but let’s just say I think that’s a screaming good deal.

They gave me $62500 for my 2020 MY Long Range. Rivian is very generous with Tesla trade-ins. Used model y are selling for up to 70k now.

Dealers (and hence, the auctions) still can’t get enough used cars right now. Two days before taking my delivery, I sold my 3 year old Tundra back to the dealer I originally bought it from for just about $350 less than I paid for it. That’s my kind of “lease”! They offered me about $1500 more than Rivian’s offer, after factoring in the sales tax adjustment that would’ve resulted from the trade.

2022 R1T & 2020 Tesla Model Y LR & R1S on order
Now I’m wishing I traded my Y instead of the 3. My r1t would have been free.

Actually the 3 was a standard+ and I got what paid minus taxes. Kept the LR Y for longer road trips.

Rivian R1T, Model Y
The new Model Y pricing is also helping resale stay high. The Model Y Dual Motor just received another price increase. It’s now $65,990.

We paid $48,990 plus $2k for 20” Induction wheels for our 2021 last February. That’s a huge $17k price increase.

I sure hope this holds. Planning to ditch my 21 MYP if Rivian ever contacts me to get delivery scheduled. Im even tempted to sell it now to keep the $$ and just drive my other car. But with Rivian's track record thus far does not seem like a great idea.
