Thanks! This is under Section 30a of the contract: 'If you return a Vehicle early to a dealer that we specify, that dealer may choose to purchase the Vehicle from us pursuant to a dealer purchase program between the dealer and us (“Dealer Purchase Program”). If your Vehicle is purchased pursuant to a Dealer Purchase Program, then you will be notified and you will not be assessed an Early Termination Charge.'

@@thedukeofmanville Oh okay, I see the section now. But I stopped reading after the 3rd sentence. Too much legal verbiage. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks! I had it in my last vehicle, and I only used it a few times for the navigation, but The Rivian's navigation is much better than my last vehicle. So, I don't understand what the big deal with Car Play/Android Auto is. Maybe its because I grew up without navigation and cell phones? Thanks for commenting!

That's awesome! Congrats 👏

The panel gaps are pretty good for the most part. My R1T did have to go in for service, and there is a video on that. I will be making a video as well on some issues that need to be addressed with the R1S. Thanks for sharing!

😂🤣

Welcome to to channel! All Rivian R1s require a $1000.00 deposit, so actually that was a down payment although it's not really considered a down payment because its paid with a credit card. However, I still had to pay taxes and fees. How much that amounts to depends on your state. I hope this helps and thanks for commenting!

I appreciate that. Thank you🙏🏽

Thanks! Yes, there is an option to purchase and the purchase option at the end of the lease is $65,682.50 at the end of three years. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks! I'm sure she will give her review.

@@thedukeofmanville Looking forward to that.

There was no verification of income just a credit check that took a few seconds to run. Thanks! And congratulations!

Thanks man! Appreciate the quick response!

Thanks! They are giving better deals with the quad motor vs the dual motor.

Thanks! I asked for their permission, and the sales person even asked me to give out his name and number, but I decided not to. However, as far as recording conversations are concerned it is important to note that under Federal law, 18 U.S.C. § 2511(2)(d) requires only that one party give consent. In addition to this Federal statute, thirty-eight (38) states and the District of Columbia have adopted a “one-party” consent requirement. In other words, you can provide consent to record for both parties if you are part of the conversation. Also, from what I understand, since Rivian doesn't have dealerships they have to go State by State to get approval to lease their vehicles, and this takes a while depending on the State's laws and regulations. Thanks for commenting!

@@thedukeofmanville Thanks for the detailed response…learned something new 😁 I gotta stop watching your videos. I’m dying for that R1T, even though I don’t need a truck (😜crazy!), and even though the R1S is smaller, it feels too big. I guess it’s because the cabin of the R1T is smaller than the R1T in my mind. I’d really like a utility EV, and I refuse to buy a Tesla. Guess I will have to wait for the R2 as it seems to check all the boxes. Thanks again

@@thedukeofmanvilleif it needs repair where do Rivian owners take their cars for a repair if there is no dealership?

@@elias38 A Rivian service center which is the same place we took delivery of our R1S. They also have a mobile service, and some things can be fixed over the air.

Thanks!😎👍

I have a kia ev 6. Do they accept a trade-in ?

@@kingsleybarnie6280 Yes they do.

Sure! I'm will be doing a video measuring the interior of the R1S.

You can find the mount here: amzn.to/3JlJW7Z

My Rivian R1T took a year, and the R1S took a couple of months because I got one out of inventory. If you configure and order one it will take longer depending on the build. Also they shut the factory down to retool. As far as costs are concerned, I cover everything that was due at signing in detail in the video. Thanks for commenting.

I have a video covering insurance cost. I believe it's titled Rivian R1S Vs Durango Hellcat.

@@thedukeofmanville thanks

@@edarr8937 You're welcome! It's towards the end of the video.

Thanks! I really appreciate it!🙏🏽 I would not consider this to be a traditional salesperson since I had already configured a Rivian and placed a deposit. They were trying to move inventory before the end of the quarter, and this was a wise move because I got a much better vehicle at a lower price than the one I configured. Thanks for commenting!

I had already paid the deposit because I configured the R1S in the configurator.

Tax will depend on ye state and there is 1800 destinations fee ( all leasing car charges) … around $380 for registration fee… I think that’s it.

Since it's a lease Rivian transfers the $7500 credit to you. Otherwise, it won't qualify. So the cost of the lease is reduced by that amount.

Yes, but it's up to the dealer to transfer it to the leasor.

Is that the only one in Maryland?

Yes. It’s been open less than a year! I just recently returned a Cybertruck I had for a few days..sooo good! Rear wheel steering is awesome! And steer by wire so Sick! I hope Rivian adds it someday.

Im going to wait for the refreshed R1T before I lease one..

Can you do more than 15k miles?

Yes!!😂
