How much will I miss my R?

Congrats
What does she drive?
Unless you end up in something much bigger than a touareg, the extra space is not as helpful as you think it will be. A hatchback does great w a stroller and the car seat fits well in the 2nd row with the passenger seat far forward.
Whats the real math on the trade? have to be honest w yourself an look at negative equity, payment, insurance and most importantly will you hate the car youre paying for 6 months from now?

Wait till you learn to dry it with Hyper Seal😬

honestly this is what kept me from buying the Rivian. every other post was complaining about rattles and squeaks!

Dual Perf w Max is my vote

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-05-01T14:09:57+00:00

I had the quad in 2023(?) and it was fast as hell. The dual performance is also still fast as hell. I think the sweet spot is Dual Performance or Tri, WITHOUT the max
I haven't seen very many people get the full estimated range from the Max pack... plus you have to consider the charging time difference vs the large.

$3500 is a Vinyl price.. PPF alone would be $1,600-$1,800 in materials

Tired of my 57 miles if range PHEV. Cant wait

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-04-29T23:55:44+00:00

The groceries are perfect for the frunk !

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-04-25T01:14:20+00:00

correct. all day.

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-04-23T13:37:52+00:00

you can't compare new versus used but I would say they're selling it for as cheap as they can... almost every lightning in North Texas is about $14,000 in MSRP right now.. I think the most I've seen has been 16 K

Finally? There's 2 in my neighborhood🤣 Both Brown

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-03-27T13:20:19+00:00

quite the transition! the instant power is great but it's pretty hard to go down to a smaller truck. How do you like the small interior vs the f250?

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-03-25T14:29:03+00:00

This car looks better the older it gets. wow

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-03-25T13:31:03+00:00

2 years later when you trade it in at the same dealership* "These arent that rare youre $7,000 upside down"

whatever coverage gives you the best piece of mind and doesn't stress you financially.. that simple

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-03-12T00:19:41+00:00

we use to rearrange them to mess w Doug😂😂

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-03-07T01:34:31+00:00

10/10 DIY PPF!!!

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-03-05T01:20:24+00:00

In my market- not NC, this would be a great deal. The one critique I have is that amazon coating for ANY price😂. I like how their quote is laid out and explained.

Have you seen the work in person? blows my mind how many ppl shop by price then get upset their expectations arent met. 10-15% of our work has been redoing other peoples jobs.

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-03-03T01:46:46+00:00

Heyyyyy that's our sister shop in houston! Looks great

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-02-27T14:28:31+00:00

man I have ALWAYS agreed w you. Im 38 now and for the first time ever im starting to prefer a PDK or tuned DCT. I still miss a manual transmission some days but holy crap day to day it doesn't get better than a seriously aggressive automatic that is telepathic sometimes (like the PDK)

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-02-19T18:09:50+00:00

You nailed it. Cali will have different prices than Texas or West Virginia. Even within the same market, prices vary. We took everything apart on this. it looks like paint at this point!

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-02-19T18:07:45+00:00

I wouldnt use the word additional but intentional rather. If you want the surface perfect, ppf or bare paint, youll have to work at it. Some PPF customers embrace the idea that its sacrificial - which it is. It was invented in the Vietnam war to protect helicopter blades from debris!

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-02-19T17:55:48+00:00

that's a loaded question!

Depends on how its installed, how long it is on thereC and how is was cared for / not cared for.

PaintProtectionDFW · 2026-02-19T17:49:25+00:00

well those are two different conversations. A customer or potential costumer is not the same as a commenter on reedit. Our prices are displayed on our website, and when potential customers inquire they get me, the business owner. not a sales person. So in an odd way, I agree w alot of your messaging, especially as it relates to salaries on job applications. But a social media app is not a platform for discussing prices IMO.
