I agree that the ride quality in the CT is amazing and it has a ton of utility and even efficiency for a truck, not to mention all the other features. I test drove one a few times, including one extended drive and it’s awesome. Ive owned two Ys, two 3s, and two Xs, and the CT is clearly...

I’m personally not surprised that demand is limited at current prices, even considering the $80k CT. I just bought a new MY for over $30K less than I would have paid for the CT, plus I got no interest financing which I obviously wouldn’t have with the CT, effectively increasing the cost...

I think the variable medium to long term is whether CT ever goes international beyond NA. Knowing Tesla, they’ll find a way to get approval, but if not prices are more likely to drop over time as they only have 2 countries plus Mexico which has to be quite a small market.

By my calculation, leasing and then buying is now cheaper than financing, because of the tax credit and the new reduced lease rate. That seems like a good deal. Does anyone know if ‘25s are being delivered yet?

the Rivian test drive was ok. I see why they are struggling while competing mainly with Tesla. I have even less faith now re: the company’s solvency. compared to the CT, the R1S felt clunky. The 2.9 0-60 in the tri requires launch mode so it actually feels slower to me than the awd ct...

the problem with financing now, for most buyers anyway, is no tax credit vs leasing with the tax credit. I don’t know if low financing is any better than the new lease rate (as of tonight) with the tax credit. Anyone else able to calculate the difference?

I’ve tested driven the CT and it’s great but like a lot of people, I only need a truck maybe once a year. Here are my considerations. For anyone reading this whose owned both vehicles, please chime in: The R1S is almost 2 feet shorter with obviously way more usable interior space. Turning...

Btw, I’m cross shopping with the Rivian R1S Tri and the lease transparency problem is the same- $500 deposit required to get all the details. I never thought I’d consider Rivian but the R1S might just be more practical for my needs, especially car camping. Im test driving Saturday.

The lease numbers on the website don’t make much sense to me or just lack details It defaults to $7500 down but then says ~$12k due at signing. Is the $7500 covered by the tax credit making $4500 due at signing? What if I want to buyout early, what’s the penalty and what would my total out...

You’re obviously right about the volatility but that’s all the more reason to make the credit available asap and pull forward demand. Since it isn’t available, there’s got to be another reason- ie Chinese components in the batteries, with stricter limitations coming in ‘25. Updating the supply...

i need a new vehicle soon and I want it to be the CT but I’m waiting to see if there is EOY incentives, ie low financing rates like 3/Y. I’m convinced that the tax credit isn’t coming because it would have happened by now. A lot of buyers were waiting for that so they need another demand...

By that logic, might we see a price increase coming? It seems the current price was set because of the tax credit cap but if that’s not going to be an issue, I have to wonder. If CT ever gets approved in the EU, that would be one factory supplying multiple countries. Just wondering.

I hope you’re right. $98k out the door is a bit too steep for me to justify, especially since I suspect EOY deals might be imminent. I suspect that without the tax credit, demand isn’t quite matching supply although that’s just a guess of course. instead of a discount, low financing rates...

So maybe the credit is imminent. Sounds like a logistical nightmare, they’d have to deliver the remaining non credit qualifying trucks to customers who don’t qualify for the credit so the qualifying trucks are available to customers who do qualify. I think they’ve done similar for other...

I spoke with a few different reps. None of them had any information about if or when the credit would be available.

I was planning to wait for the credit but now I need a car sooner than I thought so I’m getting close to ordering. The battery requirements get stricter for 2025 plus the credit is likely gone altogether at some point in ‘25 with the red wave. If the CT qualified as is then the credit should...

my long deceased grandfather served almost 100 years ago. Does that count?(I’m half serious, but I assume not)! do they actually check or is it mostly the honors system?

Update, 2 different store reps told me I could stack both discounts. The only way to actually verify is to place an order. I’m probably doing that soon. I’ll report back or if someone else does, let us know!

Me too. The rep over the phone thought I could. I’m test driving today so I’m gonna ask again and I’ll report back if I get more information.
