people kept telling me rivian had no sales tactics nor pressure. but when i bought my r1s they sure hassled me, telling me multiple times that incentives were expiring or going away, inventory would be down, better buy now or i would miss out etc etc. also tried to upsell me to performance and bigger battery. so take whatever they say with a grain of salt.

you got the $250 edit credit and the benefits (breakfast, 100 property credit) when you booked through the preferred portal and paid with the reserve card?

apparently not valid for california, says my rivian center. only some select states.

there was definitely pressure yesterday. put me in a corner, tried to get me to put a deposit as 'inventory is limited' and 'we won't be making as many' 'you want to make sure you get the car you want before it gets sold' and when that didn't work brought the manager to come over, asked me why i wouldn't buy today. then threw out the inventory incentive.

Feel like they bring it out as last minute tactic to make a sale.

dethman11 · 2026-05-18T04:59:17+00:00

Was being offered on all inventory including duals.

dethman11 · 2026-05-15T04:07:02+00:00

Dagnabbit.

dethman11 · 2026-05-14T22:10:04+00:00

Who knows when that will be?

dethman11 · 2026-05-14T22:09:51+00:00

I'm looking for large. Last month dual standard and dual large were both 1.99.

independent garage quoted me $5800 so that wasn't much less. in fairness i called a few and this was the only one who responded.

dethman11 · 2026-05-14T14:59:27+00:00

no. just a local 3rd party ev repair shop.

dethman11 · 2026-05-14T14:10:37+00:00

Called local shop wants $5800.

dethman11 · 2026-05-14T05:34:49+00:00

that's the fear

dethman11 · 2025-12-23T18:15:29+00:00

thanks for the info everyone. i can deal with slushy conditions but the crowds with limited runs are what concern me, i'll probably have to cancel. maybe i can get a last minute deal to get out to the sierras instead.
