I have both for going on close to 4 years. Both great vehicles. But very different need /use cases. If owning just one vehicle it would definitely be R1T / S over Bronco for my use case.
R1's can do almost everything but top off experience. The way less road / tire noise is a must for road...
We have 5 EV's, for each family member. Only 1 charger. It has worked well but max commute is about 75 miles. Each vehicle needs charged a out every 4th day.
Yes, examples on here if them being covered. Buying one for about $4k at low miles and years is really the only way to keep these vehicles past warranty.
Definitely just giving my own experiences. I interpreted from original post you used as wrok trucks and often not treated the same as owner vehicles, appreciate the clarity. Ours definitely have been suburban use but have been to trips offroad in Colorado and Ozarks so not always babied...
Probably supplier change unless I missed the cage code info above. Trust me no one but you will notice. I used to be really anal about these small items and then realized no one cares.
I dont understand why you needed brakes so fast. I have 40k and 30k on ours and barely signs of wear.
Understand you say you rode hard and put away wet so that must be the difference. 7 total years between our 2. 1 half day service visit and 1 msu to home garage to fix pinched windshield...
It will stop just fine and of course have regular brake. Besides coming off a freeway offramp at 80mph I have used my brake approximately 1% of time while owning Rivians. You will love it.
Vision only systems, in our car by some other mfg, in about 30% of nights tell me they are degraded and can't work. So not sure how that ever becomes driverless
Im with those rhat say Rivian should work with customer or put a major warning tag on these areas when new on items to avoid.
However, op can maybe ask for human leather replacement as it holds up to chemicals and no animals are harmed. It also follows Rivian environmental focus, less humans...
Such a better solution for towing and oh, not having to back in. I assume for rear model less wires etc but like the front passenger solution since we "must" work to V2 that v3/4 and other companies have rectified with longer cords.
