Question: Used truck versus new compact pickup

I parked the 2024 Rivian R1S and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2024 Rivian R1S owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. I'd rather be boring and correct. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2024 Rivian R1S, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. That's the whole play. Make the next action something you can finish this week. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2024 Rivian R1S before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Doing the boring step first on purpose.
