Yup, Rivian honored all pre-order pricing. I cancelled mine after the price increase and was able to get back in line after they rescinded the increase for pre-orders. Anyone who didn’t get in on the early Quads could do 20% off any inventory Rivian I believe but the time redeem was some time last year so if you preordered you had 3 years to execute on the deal

Leasing a lightening for mid 300s or less vs Cybertruck seems to be a no brainer.

Even the new commercial truck credit one can apply for does not make sense. If they need to move units, discount/captive financing rates + freebies needed to happen yesterday.

The devil is in the detail…. The 2025 models are here, and that’s for a 2024 model and a 24 month lease with a $6600 customer down over and above the Ford 10,500 lease incentive (7500 of which is the federal tax credit). So you’re broadly prepaying 275 per month to get to the 272 payment.

The national ad is the ceiling on pricing. Way better deals are possible.

Vehicles are getting expensive especially half ton trucks. Pretty cool to see that light bar illuminated behind you at night. Couple nights ago pointed out a lightning by its light bar to my daughter.

Never mind, that's taken in Texas. Texas is on a whole new level. My coworkers in our San Antonio office wanted to dispose of old hard drives by taking them in the back, getting some beers and blasting them with shotguns 🤣

I love the look . In front of a high end store. I wonder how pro and con Tesla fans would react if there was a two door coupe version I think a coupe version would be awesome
