Rivian Quietly Launches $4,000 Cash Discount, Stackable for $5,000 Total Savings

Rivian has quietly rolled out a new limited-time cash incentive for buyers looking to skip traditional financing. The offer gives you $4,000 off your vehicle when you pay in cash. The catch? You can’t finance or lease through Rivian, but there’s a nice loophole: if you bring your own financing from a third-party lender, you still qualify for the discount.

What makes this deal even better is that you can stack it with Rivian’s November Sales Event, which already offers an additional $1,000 off if you take a test drive and place your order the same day. Combined, that’s up to $5,000 off your new Rivian—no small change, especially given today’s pricing environment.

This isn’t Rivian’s biggest promotion ever, but for anyone who’s been eyeing a 2025 or 2026 R1, this could be a good time to move. Every bit helps, and Rivian seems to be experimenting with more creative incentives as it heads into the holiday season.

The offer doesn’t have a published end date yet, but sources indicate it’s limited in availability, so acting sooner rather than later might be wise.
