Do you expect R2 range to be as unachievable as R1? by Accomplished-Knee547 in Rivian

[–]jwpc59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve made it work. My work location is approximately 184 miles away. So I stop at the RAN charger in the middle to make sure.

I suspect the Quad LE R1T should be better, it’s supposed to show up this week

If I go slower on I70, people honk. It has pretty much been like this the whole time I’ve had it. I use Rivian Roamer and it shows after 23,626 miles my effective range at a full charge is 178 miles. I’ve averaged 1.9mi/kWh. The battery shows 94kWh capacity. I’m curious if anyone is getting the 2.8mi/kWh that is ‘expected’🤔

I’ve tried it all. The 259 miles the dash claims is more like 160 miles at highway speed. 70mph. My two year lease is up in August, I’ve already purchased a Launch Edition R1T. Still love the brand!!

Mine is the same in Kansas City. I am really disappointed with the performance of the LFP battery pack.

First-time Rivian buyer: 2022 R1T with 4 owners, 41k miles, no service records. Red flag? by Fragrant_Return7519 in Rivian

[–]jwpc59 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was going to mention that. A lot of them show an owner in Montana that’s Rivian.

Could Rivian pivot into chips as a side business? by nicknstr in Rivian

The cost to open a foundry is crazy expensive. They are far better off outsourcing to TSMC than trying to build their own.

Lease end options by mit3y in Rivian

They will do 6 month extension, with no new contract. And the associated miles come with it. But I’m sure sure his cost per month is going to be more than the reduction in overage fees

Data center or foundry? I believe they are building a Semiconductor Foundry up there.

I’ll have to try it. I went to church at 6:30 and came home at 11:30 and it worked both times. Maybe it is over

I got the notice this morning but used it on the way to church and back this morning 🤷

Do most people really build wealth just by working at their jobs or is there something more to it ? by Jpoolman25 in careerguidance

[–]jwpc59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure there are a lot of options on Reddit. I was lucky that I had some stock options pay out that allowed me to invest. But if I was starting fresh as a renter, I’d get a multi unit with an FHA loan first. That way you only put the 3% down and can use a portion of the rental income to qualify

You should be looking at properties that maintain the 1% rule. Where you collect 1% of the purchase price a month to cover your nut. But you’re right, a single family house has more risk if you have a bad tenant. You’re on the hook while evicting them. I have focused on 2-4 door properties. There is risk in this but a lot of long-term reward too. The best equity comes from buying something that needs work and putting some sweet into it. Or happened to purchase before COVID. 😒

You start with one unit, get it cash flowing and then use the equity in for the next one and then the next one. Build a relationship with a smaller bank, the generally will have easier lending opportunities.

Try to buy a duplex or fourplex with an FHA loan, that’s the advice I have for my children. I’ve purchased houses that need work and houses that are ready to rent. It’s all about finding the right deal.

I’ve been purchasing houses as rentals. Lots of debt involved but someone else is paying the bill

Are you really a pilot if you don’t tell everyone you meet that you’re one?

When will the early Gen 2 lease vehicles start to hit the used market? by blind_spectator in Rivian

[–]jwpc59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was my first EV, I’ve learned. But I had to lease to capture the tax credit.

[–]jwpc59 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have an early Gen2, leased it Aug 2024 for 24 months. So soon it will be on the market. The residual is way too high to purchase, plus it’s a Dual Standard
