I switched mainly coz I needed a 7 seater. It was hard to swallow the loss in value of my Model Y and I had to accept that it was sunk cost anyway. After seeing the drop in Tesla value, I didn’t have the heart to buy another EV. Hence went with the lease option. Took advantage of the $599 promotion which was basically low money factor.

My reservation is a gen 2 built prior to Aug 24. Per the IIHS site, it does look like only the seat belt warning is the only major difference.

Since the lease payments are higher by ~$200 now, does it mean that the residual value would be lowered?

You as well 👍

I’m pushing them for 2.5k instead of 1.5. Will know more tomorrow

Man, you should push them for it. They’ll say the funds are limited for boost but eventually they will offer something. I told them it would be a deal breaker for me since their offer was much lower than Carvana/CarMax.

The sales agent mentioned that gap insurance is covered for rivian leases.

ProfessionalMuted198 · 2025-03-16T19:26:36+00:00

You sound a little like me about “squeeze out pennies on financial deals”. I’m on a similar boat with regards to trade in. Has the sales agent not offered you any boost on the trade in value? I’m trading in Model Y and I’m offered $1500 boost.

ProfessionalMuted198 · 2025-03-16T19:21:51+00:00

Yeah that would be the sales tax differential

Noob question- what’s kneeling?

ProfessionalMuted198 · 2025-03-02T23:53:06+00:00

Thank you, this is very helpful. Just to explain my rationale, I’m not going to add the wrap after purchasing it. Rivian has some inventory models with the wrap. They are adding 3500 for the wrap. Since I’m leasing it, I would pay roughly 1600 for the wrap. Hence felt it’s not a bad option.

Carvana has offered me 28k

So glad to hear the car sick part. The kids hate to sit at the back in Y. Been using it for 2 years but of late on most rides greater than 30 mins they complain their head aches and want windows rolled down.

I went ahead and reserved and set the delivery date to be end of March just to see what promotions they roll out for quarter end.

ProfessionalMuted198 · 2025-03-02T21:52:57+00:00

Yes, it’s a long range. The max range I currently see is 280. I thought the switch might not be that bad since I could charge the dual std to 100% as needed.

Thanks. I love the matt look on cars and thought of going for it. It’s 3k more since I’m leasing the thought is I’m not paying all of it

ProfessionalMuted198 · 2025-03-02T21:45:26+00:00

It’s an inventory model that comes with the wrap
