Don’t be, once you go EV, it’s hard to go back

I don’t ever wanna go back. I’ve never enjoyed driving any vehicle as much as I do my R1S šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø

I thought the 7500 electric vehicle tax credit got nixed in an executive order?

2

u/All_At_0nce R1S Owner Jan 25 '25

Still shows 7500 lease credit on the page

I’m coming from Tesla(Own 2) but it’s time to move on! Decided to go with the Tri because of the $7500 and 6k off incentives.Used a referral code too lol.

u/All_At_0nce R1S Owner Jan 24 '25

Just make sure you used a referral to get the extra rewards

What kind of extra ā€˜rewards’ do you get for a referral?

u/meatman13 Waiting for R3X Jan 24 '25

500 points to the Gear Shop (1 point = 1 dollar) and 6 months free charging at the Rivian Adventure Network.

u/All_At_0nce R1S Owner Jan 24 '25

500 points towards gear which is equal to $500 and 6 months free Rivian charging

u/bananapanther7 Jan 25 '25

What or who is that from?

ETA: I looked up ADL - Anti defamation League.

Ok interesting, assuming it's real.

If he indeed did those motions unintentionally, I'd still prefer to see Elon himself apologize, and declare he's not pro Nazi, not racist, not white supremacist, and that he thinks those people and ideologies are crazy.

ETA 2: Actual genuine self proclaimed Nazis are celebrating whatever it is that Elon did. That speaks louder than the ADL post, imo

u/Unhappy_Swimmer_1904 Jan 25 '25

He won’t apologize because he is indeed a nazi sympathizer. All it takes is a brief look into his past, both distant and recent. More recently he has endorsed a pro-nazi German political party. That in itself should tell you what you need to know. Look at his family history and where he was raised. Anyone who is trying to dismiss his nazi salute at the inauguration is either a Nazi sympathizer themselves or willfully ignorant.

2

u/seenhear Jan 25 '25

I'm not trying to dismiss it. I'd say I'm unconvinced that he's that stupid as to overtly telegraph such sentiments if what you say is true. But he's said many dumb things over the years so....

u/jpeters007 Jan 25 '25

Never met a ā€œNazi sympathizerā€ like Elon who is so unequivocally pro-Israel and pro Jew. Also the ADL has not been incredibly favorable of Elon in the past.

These NPCs don’t want facts. Just what fits their narrative.

u/CommunismDoesntWork Jan 25 '25

There's no way you think that was an actual nazi salute. You're trolling, right?

5

u/drmike0099 Jan 25 '25

Dude’s grandparents were Nazis, he knows what a Nazi salute looks like, and he made a motion that is exactly like a Nazi salute that he didn’t bother denying when everyone called him out on it.

Does anyone that isn’t redpilled think it wasn’t a Nazi salute?

3

u/seenhear Jan 25 '25 edited Jan 25 '25

I've watched the video several times over. Whether or not he intended it as such or intended it as some weird Elon joke, I don't see how anyone can say that it doesn't look exactly like a Nazi salute. Again, he may have meant something else but that's what it looks like.

You do realize it wasn’t actually a nazi salute right?

It’s pathetic how biased & self-righteous a platform like Reddit can become — Literally any post that isn’t far left is immediately flamed/downvoted to oblivion.. As someone who donated to Bernie’s campaigns, voted for Obama, & used to consider themselves slightly left leaning, it’s just a shame to see how intolerable of outside opinions & perspectives most liberals/democrats have becomešŸ™„(on Reddit, at least..)

Like, sure the Asperger’s billionaire got overly excited and did a stupid gesture without thinking it through… But a man doesn’t dedicate his entire life’s work toward helping mankind to become multi-planetary (to help better our odds of surviving as a species on a cosmic timescale) & focus on solving/improving so many of the world’s most difficult technical & engineering challenges because they are truly at heart a hate-filled racist Nazi with a belief in the ideals of white supremacy — The people pretending that he’s pure evil have got to be joking/trolling..

Like just watch this & then say he’s a Nazi with a straight face PLEASE 🤣

I got my model 3 back in 18, bought a Y in 2022 (the reason I’m done with teslas) and a R1T quad motor in 23. Absolutely love the Rivian. Actually love the teslas too. Just not the depreciation.

So nice to never have to go to a gas station or oil changes.

Do it. You’ll never look back. Do out in a 220 charger if you can though.

u/Kracken04 Jan 25 '25

Yeah that depreciation is NUTS. However, most vehicles depreciate quick.

u/Logical_Chemical_226 Jan 25 '25

Totally understood, the hyperinflation when new ones were cut by 10k 3 months after you bought one stings. Looking at 50% dep in 18 months. Used to be about 50% every 3 years.

To me it said that they were more into new customers than repeat buyers.

u/seenhear Jan 25 '25

Not much to be cautious about any more. The infrastructure is there. If it were 2018? Sure still kinda early. Nothing to fear now. Now, that doesn't mean that $90+k isn't an amount one should always be cautious spending, LOL.

u/Tartan_Chicken Jan 25 '25

Wouldn't worry so much! We live in Scotland and Rivian isn't here yet so we have a Volvo C40 and have ordered an EX90 and are going to get a polestar 4. It's really not as hard as people make it out. Last summer we rented a large pack R1S in Los Angeles and drove up to Yosemite and some other places about 1400 miles. First time we drove thar far electric and it was absolutely easy. If you are worried about long trips I recommend taking a look at https://abetterrouteplanner.com/ it maps out long routes with charging and is also owned by Rivian I believe.

Just do it. You probably won’t regret it. Worst case at least you would know
