It finally happened. I got a truck. I’ve been wanting a truck for a very long time. I could have bought one a while ago but my work commute made it an impractical purchase. But electric vehicles made owning large vehicles affordable and practical for our use case.
I’ve been eyeing the Rivian R1T but many reasons prevented me from getting one. But now, things have lined up and I finally have a truck. Not only a truck, but an electric truck. This will be. a start of new activities and videos. Videos where I can compare Tesla and Rivian ownership.
In this video, I share what deals I was able to get and what the payments look like. Would you get an electric truck? Would you get a Rivian? So far it has been an interesting experience.

How was your money due at signing so low?! Everywhere I look it’s 10k down all said and done on a lease

@johnmcdonald927 2 месяца назад

Or could you please outline the total out of pocket spend between deposit and down payment and then payment? Going to call rivian tomorrow lol

@sherwinm 2 месяца назад

@@johnmcdonald927 I was able to lease it with $0 down. In California, you don't pay for the taxes of the full amount of the car during delivery. You pay taxes every month when paying the lease. The break down I have is... First month payment: $813.87 Taxes: $734.70 Acquisition Fee: $895 Documentation fee: $85 Title & Registration fees: $1,161 Total is $3,689.57 That's what my document has listed. This may vary due to price of the car, credit check, etc. Hope that helps

Hi Sherwin. Can you share your Vehicle Summary page. This is what I have configured, how does it compare to yours, and what is your purchase price?

@markdeadrick3978 Месяц назад

I went for one of the '23 lease deals last week and was originally going to go for something like yours (Sherwin). I wanted a dual motor with a standard battery, ideally Limestone with the grey interior. I kept looking at the vehicles offered for my area in San Diego. (The service center is literally about half a mile from my shop.) A quad motor, large, white, grey interior, with power toneau cover popped up at a relatively low price. After clicking "go", and the back-and-forth of the online contract (never had a guide step in, which is fine.). I got lease at $5000 down, but total out of pocket almost $10k (which includes sales tax on the $5000, plus I believe taxes on the $7500 tax credit), first payment, license, doc fees, etc. My monthly at 10k/yr (we have too many cars to choose to drive) is $583/mo including tax. My total expenditure for 3 years will be just over $30k ($844/mo net). Doing the math on yours, I get about $32k ($895/mo net). You will be paying interest on the amount you are not putting down, BTW, they have to make that money somehow. I think these deals are probably going to be around for a bit longer. If they come out with the new Enduro Tri and Quads, they will probably still have older 23s and 24s to discount. I could not see purchasing one of these or any EV at this time. This is my first lease in the past 13 years and in this case I think it makes the most sense. -Mark

@@markdeadrick3978 Nice! The quad motor are good deal too because their residual value is higher. The deals will be there until the inventory is gone. Congrats on the new truck. I stopped by the San Diego location on my recent video. Really nice people there. I hung out for like an hour and they asked about owning Tesla and Rivian. They even suggested places for me to check out afterwards. Wife was attending a conference.

@w4ufal 25 дней назад

So glad I watched this! Had no idea they can upgrade and take stuff off. I’m slightly over budget with the lease calculator so I’ll try and get in touch with sales now. Thanks for sharing your content!

@sherwinm 24 дня назад

From my experience, the lease calculator was a little off. It was lower than I anticipated. Had I known, I may have opted for the quad motor since it has a higher residual value so the payments may have been very similar maybe another $20/monthly. The sales people are helpful in finding inventory vehicles and finding more deals not advertised (if any). But they cannot help you with finance numbers. This is only after they run credit and you have given them $1000 down. Good luck. Pls let know what you end up getting.

I'm looking at either getting the Model X or R1S. Following for your experience with both!

@sherwinm 2 месяца назад

We’ve had two refresh Model X. One Long Range that Tesla bought back because of issues. We replaced it with a Plaid. Still have issues but they are saying “within spec”. As much as we love our Model X, it’ll be our last. But when it works as expected, it’s a great and fun car. Right now there’s the annoying clicking sound at low speeds. We recently went to Grand Canyon with it (video coming soon) and it was fun. I have plenty of videos on both Model X. I want to test drive the R1S next. It’s on my todo list. Thank you for your feedback

@fattmozz 2 месяца назад

from what I heard, Standard and Standard+ battery packs are the same physical battery, with the difference being locked up by software, which means you can pay to upgrade to Standard+ after sale. It also means that you can safely charge Standard battery pack to 100% given there is a buffer of 45 miles that you don't have access to.

@frumpd63 2 месяца назад

100% unconfirmed conjecture.

@sherwinm 2 месяца назад

Rivian hasn’t officially announced anything about unlocking the battery capacity so I didn’t want to risk it. Also, this maybe would have been a 2024 model and I wouldn’t have gotten the extra $2000 off. I think the config I got is the “sweet spot” for what I’ll be using it for.

I couldn't find your insurance question to reply to but I did a follow up video and broke down how much each car's insurance cost is. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qrHsLx-9sGg.htmlsi=TWO95qyyb1M0Al_S&t=1470 California is very high right now and many things come into factor. But I got an email yesterday and it will be another $30 lower total in May. They didn't give me an updated cost for each car.

@kusa1403 2 месяца назад

Nice information video. my dad and I are planning to lease the Rivian R1T but insurance is our concern of being high. Not sure which company is the cheapest. Do you have any suggestions?

@sherwinm 2 месяца назад

I’m in California, I have Tesla. The initial quote was $279/monthly for $500 comprehensive/collision deductible. But when I plugged in the info after taking delivery, it went up to $310 with $1000 deductible. Rivian insurance was about $325/monthly. I have to call Rivian again and check. I haven’t settled with an insurance company yet. This is just to give you an idea. There are many factors that are considered when you get a quote. Many places will require a VIN. I have videos on insurances but again that’s based on my history, location, etc. hope that helps

@duckieash5732 2 месяца назад

$279/month, that seems very high. How much are you paying for insurance on your MX?

Do you have an idea how much it is to buy out the lease? I am planning to lease and buy out to get the credit. I am interested in the fees needed to be paid to buy it out.

@sherwinm 2 месяца назад

Sorry I don't know and all lease agreements are different. I would assume it's whatever is left on your lease agreement + residual value. That's just a guess. You would have to ask maybe your Rivian guide or the bank your lease is with. There is a disposition fee of $495 in my document but that's if I do not purchase after the lease. But you do have the option to purchase with the lease, unlike Tesla where you have to return the car.

@firworks 2 месяца назад

I wish I understood leasing more. I always understood leasing to just be lighting money on fire but I've seen so many people talking about the great Rivian lease deals. At the same time my last vehicle purchase was in 2017 and the market is completely different now with the economy the way it is. 816$/month sounds astronomically high to me but then I see people taking on a 700$/month payment for a normal lame car and maybe the Rivian actually isn't outrageous.

@sherwinm 2 месяца назад

I'm not an expert at it but from what I've researched here are the reasons I leased. - It's cheaper than buying (lower monthly payment) - I know I will not drive it as much and it's not my primary car - The $7500 is taken off the price of the car so it lowers the payments further VS $3250 if you buy and that's a tax credit - I have the option to buy the car after the lease, but beware of higher interest rates if you finance - They have the 1% rule when leasing where the monthly is 1% of the vehicle price. Apparently, if this is the case, then it's considered a "good deal" You also have to consider it's a $800 monthly payment on a $85K car. I still don't understand the residual value and all that but it seems it was a good deal. I just went on RU-vid and watched lease videos. But most of them are non-EV cars with dealerships that play games.

@santiagohills3997 2 месяца назад

The issue with leasing is that the first three years are when depreciation is the highest. And then you turn around and start the process over again. And since cars are so much more durable today, you miss out on years 4-6, when cars are usually still pretty solid but depreciate much slower. And in years 7+ it’s all just a bonus, the car might depreciate a couple grand a year, so any use you get out of it is a bonus-you can eventually drop collision insurance and just have liability-a $2000 deductible on a $4000 car is silly. I knew some folks in the 90s that were taught to lease so they always had a safe reliable car with a warranty. If you have one car, and it has to work every time, leasing penciled out. And if you have the money and just like having new cars, and don’t mind payments, leasing’s the way to go. That said, EVs are so new that next year’s cars will make this year’s obsolete. You might want to upgrade sooner. So maybe it makes more sense.

@rexlybrand6688 Месяц назад

Have you figured out what the cost at the end of the lease would be? I wouldn’t have been able to get the lease without knowing that dollar figure. Yeah I think it’s called the residual. That’s what I waited through your whole video to find out!

@sherwinm Месяц назад

the residual value for my truck is $48,152.50

@rexlybrand6688 Месяц назад

Awesome, thanks, Sherwin!

@gerharddohne2518 2 месяца назад

If you are leasing and not planning on buying it at lease end, you could charge the battery to 90-100% all the time.

@sherwinm 2 месяца назад

Yes but it’s so slow after 80% SOC. It drops to about 40-50kw speed. Maybe when I get my adapter I can do it at home. I’ve charged over 80% many times with my Tesla at home. Don’t really notice much degradation.

How is Rivian different than any other over-hyped money-losing company headed for bankruptcy? Rivian convinced early investors to pour in tens of billions of $$s. But now Rivian is consistently losing $1.5 bill/qtr (4Q23). Between the convertibles and lack of plans to reduce losses, it will be increasingly difficult to attract new money. Rivian had 963 mill sh o/s as of 12/31/23. Like 100% of companies that lose money every quarter, Rivian will almost certainly go bankrupt. Feel sorry for any Rivian owners

@sherwinm 2 месяца назад

Thank you for caring

@santiagohills3997 2 месяца назад

Tesla lost money every quarter, until they didn’t. Same story with Amazon. Rivian has Amazon as a major investor, among other very patient sources of money. Rivian’s plan to turn the corner was pulled straight out of the Tesla playbook. They have to make it to the first delivery of the R2, and have decent margins on that car once they do start building. If they can make good delivery numbers on R1, they’ll need to hold on until the first R2s ship. If they’re close, they can probably shake down the deep pockets for spare change, long enough to get into production.

Costs per vehicle are reducing every year, supposedly they are within 4 quarters of break even. They have their mass market vehicle coming online in early 2026. Nothing is guaranteed but rivian has a great brand and people love them. Of any non Tesla start ups, Rivian appears to be have best chances - fisker, lucid, nikola etc
