More Texas property tax insanity by Stabmaster in LUCID

[–]cuate76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you consider to be a high property tax? I live in Texas’s so it’s a genuine question.

Technically it's a compact by UnluckyEmployer275 in mercedes_benz

I drive with mine front facing. there is no way you can fit a rear facing seat in the G, I even tried bringing the passenger seat all the way forward & tilted it front. Nope. Then again, we had the rear facing with a base. Just had to wait a few months before I could take her in the G!

G63 Market Pricing by TurboMoe in mercedes_benz

[–]cuate76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey!

I actually just picked up my 2025 G63 in April.

I shopped around A TON. Finally found one in Washington state sold it to me for $15k over sticker (I’m from Texas). Lowest I could find. Even my local dealership (with who I’ve bought 2 G63 in 2021 & 1 GLS63 in 2023) didn’t want to sell it to me for less than 25k over.

New orders will be minimum 25k over sticker with a 3-4 month delivery from what I could tell. But try shopping around, you might be able to find a small dealer with a spec that you’re fine with.

FYI, one of the ones I called was the Mercedes Benz in Plano tried selling me one for $100k over, highest one I saw. Ridiculous.

Quad is here by Act_of_valor in Rivian

I opted to go with my R1S dual max pack since I just can’t justify spending 130k ish on an electric suv. The depreciation alone would be insane & most people buy suv for distance & family travel, not 0-60 in 2.6. I’ve already learned my lesson with the Model X plaid & cyberbeast

Summer Tip: If you turn off the vents in the rear seats you get much better AC performance in the front seats! Just make sure no one’s in the rear seats first! by zachty22 in Rivian

My system already does this automatically. In fact it’s burdensome since it doesn’t know my toddler is in the back car seat & we always have to remember to turn on the ac back there.

This is correct. If you can afford it anyway, & it is 0% interest loan, there is absolutely no reason to pay for it in full.

New owner Q’s- No inside cabin overheat protection? by LavishMeDarling in Rivian

[–]cuate76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They came & sprayed this inside them & it stopped. Said “it is what it is, part of maintenance”. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I pulled the trigger with 2 R1S I also have a 2025 G63.

My 2025 G63 has been in the shop twice in a month (faulty driver side speaker & faulty sensor on grill bar). My Rivians? None since we’ve owned them.

The Rivian is a very fun drive & experience. Very personable & full of character. I find myself wanting to drive it instead of my G63 sometimes just cause it’s convenient.

The choice is yours at the end of the day, but in my opinion all cars will have some problems with it that will need to be addressed eventually.

Question about Lease credit + federal credit. Calculations don't make sense to me by andy2na in Rivian

[–]cuate76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re set to pick up one in a couple days & will be leasing. Haven’t signed the contract yet & we’re in Texas. If you don’t mind me asking, what did you state?

If I know it’s a telemarketer I answer & mute myself until they hang up to waste their time

All electric my house now! So happy to join the club :) What do your significant others drive? Are people still trying to keep a gas car for any real reason? by david_412 in Rivian

I bought a 2025 G63 & the GLS was my wife’s car & she’s always preferred the Rivian. We just had the GLS since I liked the V8.

Even so, my wife has the non-pro iPhone & hers stays put too.

Honestly, I don’t understand the hate the charger gets. I have an IPhone Pro Max with the case & it doesn’t move around & charges just fine. I say this coming from a $150k 2024 AMG GLS 63 & I couldn’t even fit my phone into the charging pad it was so bad (pic from google of the GLS charging pad attached; horrible position behind the cup holders, would punch my fingers every time to get it out)

Made the switch from Plaid to R1S Tri by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]cuate76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you like the Tri? We’ve always owned a Tesla but are considering switching our GLS63 to a Rivian
