Those insurance prices are insane. We’re feeling it too.

Got the same spec about 2 months ago in Vancouver and it was a July 23 build with 90 KMS as well. They definitely give them a good run before delivery

congrats to us. been a lot of fun driving it. ya it was fairly “high” on the odometer but it’s probably from moving them around since they were built almost a year ago.

Same insurance quotes in Colorado. I have a Raptor, Model S and a MDX. Same price as you. I’m looking at trading the Raptor for a R1T.

ya that sucks. it's so expensive. good luck with the trade in. i've been having a lot of fun with the R1T.

Just weird- truck has been built for over a half a year but they had you wait two months for delivery. I ordered my 2024 R1T in February and took delivery two weeks later.

Not two months. Ordered March 14, delivery was March 27. Just under 2 weeks. It may have been sitting at the factory in Illinois and took that long to transport it 🤷‍♂

@@wai00che00 It's too early to tell but here are some things I'd like to share... - I've driven over 1200 miles in 10 days. At this rate, it would be best to buy instead of returning it and paying overage fees 😅. So it's been hanging out on the driveway for the last week or so. - It is very fun to drive. Is it fun because it's a Rivian, or because it's a truck? I'd say a little bit of both - In 3 years when the lease is over, Rivian may have a newer R1T or maybe other competition. But definitely I want a truck on the driveway for sure. - What's great is I have the option to purchase after the lease unlike Tesla. But one thing to consider is if I finance the rest, it will fall under used car and the rates could be worse than a new car. Many things to consider but it's been a fun truck. Not perfect but fun. I plan to do a closer look video and more comparison videos. I've been on two road trips. I recently uploaded a Vegas trip earlier today. kzread.info/dash/bejne/paucusero8zKf84.html

Good luck. I hope my videos will give some insight and help with your decision. Go for a demo drive. I also have a video on that as well.

Congrats!! I do have to say, the Rivian sound system is really bad. Change the preset to “Rock” and it’ll sound a little better

I have a 2023 model s performance, a 2023 Chevy Bolt Euv and a first year teenage driver of a 2005 Toyota 4runner and paying 1500 every 6 months with Costco insurance, which is Connect. This price was with the black executive card. I also combined my home insurance with large savings. Give it a look.

I tried State Farm. That was my previous insurance. Rates are similar to Nationwide. I have my reservation for the cybertruck but my turn won't be for a while. Maybe when the lease is up, it'll be my turn. But I prefer the R1T's looks over the CT. 😀

Yes The last 4 EVs we paid cash so no interest payments to make them more expensive. One we sold and was basically "free" minus our use because of "pandemic" pricing of used cars. Another, Tesla bought back and we made $20K because of price drops. We've owned gas and hybrid and now EVs. We've taken them all on road trips. I have 120 mile work commute. I need to do oil change every 2-3 months. I reach those "belts" maintenance in about 2 years. So in terms of maintenance, yes we save money. We live in California, currently gas is $5/gallon. Just my work commute alone, I easily save money on fuel cost and maintenance. We have solar at home and charge our cars at home. Pretty much free. Solar is paid off. So, yes. In our situation we definitely save money. I invite you to check out our road trip videos. At the end of them, I break down costs and compare to gas. Our results is not a guarantee for everyone. WTF indeed :)

The Rivian Soundsystem flat out sucks

@sherwinm

I was trying to be "fair" haha. I heard the original Meridian system was better than the current Rivian in-house Elevation brand. I have the Rivian branded system. I've seen someone added an amp and sub under the second row seats. I may talk to him about it. But we'll see how "destructive" the mod is since this is a lease. It's fine, I can live with it I guess. I've taken two road trips already.
