Help! On the verge of buying 2023 R1S
Hey all!
I currently have a order for a 2025 R1S Gen 2, but the lease rates as I’m going through the financial forms are insane - which make a $96k+ vehicle even more expensive if I bought out my lease!
However, I found a 2023 Gen 1 on Carmax with <1k miles for $73k - which feels much more palatable, especially with the mileage being so low.
My questions are:
This is my first ever EV - how much range am I really missing between Gen 1 Large vs Gen 2 Max? This is important considering I’m moving on from my X5 which had a huge gas tank
What should I lookout for knowing I’m buying from Carmax? Never bought a vehicle from anywhere but the dealer/brand directly
What am I missing from the Rivian walkthrough on pick up day that I should know about? Part of what sold me on leasing such an expensive vehicle was getting the grand intro and walkaround upon delivery
Any other considerations for Gen 1 2023 vs Gen 2? Gen 1 feels almost brand new with less than 1k
Thanks in advance!
