- Rivian’s $3,000 discount is exclusively for buyers who own or lease a gas or hybrid vehicle looking to go electric.
- To qualify for the discount, shoppers must order before November 30 and take delivery by December 31, 2024
- The deal excludes pre-owned and entry-level models, aiming to push customers towards higher-trim R1S and R1T units.
As the year winds to a close, Rivian is clearly feeling the pressure to move more units off the lot. One way it’s doing that is by offering buyers cold hard cash in the form of discounts. To qualify, buyers need to do a few things including own a gas-burning car. Here are all the details on what it’ll take to get $3,000 off a new Rivian R1S or R1T right now.
The most important requirement of this deal, something that Rivian is calling the “All-Electric Upgrade Off”, is that the buyer must have a gas-powered vehicle, though there’s no need to trade it in. Without the ability to show proof of ownership or lease of such a vehicle, the deal is off. Of course, it applies to all gas-powered vehicles including hybrids. Check that box, and you’re already halfway there. But Rivian has a few more stipulations in store.

Next, the buyer has to select a new Rivian. It can’t be a pre-owned unit, a custom build, or a demo unit either. On top of that, the R1S or R1T in question can’t be a Dual Standard trim level. Sure, that diminishes the discount since the next level up costs substantially more, but a price break is still a price break. Buyers must put in their order between now and November 30 and they must agree to take delivery before December 31.
Notably, this isn’t a sliding scale discount or anything of that sort, so everyone who checks the above boxes gets the same $3,000 off. Canadian buyers get $4,100 CAD discount as long as they abide by those same rules. Basically, those who have been eyeing a new Rivian now have another reason to consider it.
That’s good news for fans since Rivian just updated both the R1S and R1T this year with some thoughtful touches. It’s also nice that Rivian doesn’t require buyers to trade in their old car. As we come to the close of the year, other automakers are likely to offer discounts to move products too, so if Rivian isn’t really your bag keep checking here.
