2024 Rivian R1S — 120k one-owner car versus 70k with thin history

I'd want competing paper, not competing stories. Ask for out-the-door on the 2024 Rivian R1S with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. I'll post OTD once I have two apples-to-apples sheets.
