EVs are aging better than most buyers think. Per @WSJ, the average EV keeps up to 95% of its range after 5 years, and replacement rates on newer models are a fraction of what they used to be.

Grateful for the closing quote. Reporting by Ellie Davis.

Many people are comparing the Rivian R2's lease payment to a $45K vehicle.

The first R2 deliveries are actually the $58K+ Launch Edition.

After looking at lease rates, residuals, fees, and incentives, I think the story is more complicated.

@itskyleconner nothing here either, but I can understand why Rivian might be doing it this way. Anyone else hawking their inbox?

@Kanundrum17 @TravisKetchum i generally advise against large down payment on a lease. Effective cost is $750-760 a month. How long do they plan to keep it?

@ChadMoran that camera location seems less than ideal. with the bracket will be easy for dirt and snow to build up. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@Kanundrum17 great spec! 😁

Hoping everyone at the Rivian plant is safe after this tornado damage. 🙏🏻
Fingers crossed recovery is quick and this doesn’t impact R2 production timelines too much.

Did GM quietly remove the light bar from the Silverado EV LT? 👀

Configurator now shows LT models without it—previously standard on most trims (except WT + Custom).

No announcement… just gone.

Cost-cutting or design shift?

@Kanundrum17 Happy easter to you hope you all enjoyed

Silverado EV / Sierra EV owners:

That “Service High Voltage” warning?

GM has released a TSB and it’s usually a software issue, not battery failure.
