Dumb Assclown Tries To Flip Rivian R2 And Fails Because They're A Pathetic Loser - Jalopnik

A reported attempt to flip a new Rivian R2 ended without profit, underscoring how quickly resale demand can cool. The case was documented on Cars & Bids, involving a 2027 Rivian R2 Performance AWD listed with only 71 miles on the odometer. The seller said he made the purchase with a day-one deposit and then decided the R2 didn’t match preferences, claiming his wife preferred a Kia EV9. Despite a final sale price of $63,500—about $2,000 above the car’s original MSRP—the report notes that taxes and fees likely erased any gain. The seller is also described as a five-time Rivian owner who previously sold a 2025 R1S with 7,100 miles in the past year and a 2025 R1T Tri Max with 16,000 miles earlier in 2026. The article frames the transactions as failed flip efforts.
