Oh boy...
Rivian has angered its early customers yet again with updated delivery dates this week.
Rivian raised its vehicle prices last year and faced backlash.
Now it seems the automaker is prioritizing delivery of its more expensive vehicles first...
Rivian cannot sell vehicles they cannot service. The reputation would get out fast that their service network is too small. That will deter future buyers and put the company at risk. Instead, management made a decision that pissing off some pre-order customers is a necessary evil. Maybe they...
There no making sense of it....
Example destination charges on 2023 Kia window stickers:
Kia Rio (sub compact) ships from Mexico is $1,095
Kia Telluride (mid SUV) ships from USA is $1,335
Kia Carnival (minivan) ships from Korea is $1,335
Sorry, but if that's 'major' damage, what would 'minor' damage look like?
Its a $100 repair at a rim shop. Or, cover it up with a sharpie or mask around and use rustoleum gloss black from AutoZone. You will forget about it in a week or so.
I know why you want to try that (who wouldn't!) But Rivan would be breaking NY/City state tax laws. How much tax would be saving if your DL was registered in FL vs NY?
FL tax is 6.5 or 7%, but our insurance is inflated because of the 25% un-insured/underinsured drivers on the roads here.
I don't think Android Auto would ever make that mistake. The information gathering is too good to allow that to happen often, if ever. The crowd sourcing of so many Android Auto users also gives the most up to date traffic data (slowdowns/accidents/re-routes) that Rivan cannot compare. Maybe...
Just in case you weren't joking, 'Built on a Monday/Friday' doesn't really apply this century since robots don't care what day it is.
There was a time when Tesla was just trying to survive, and they were putting out terrible panel alignment in the majority of the vehicles leaving Fremont. That...
The dual motors will eventually enter the market which is good for Rivian's future, but they don't distinguish the quad motors from the others like Tesla does with both their long range and performance trims with the DUAL MOTOR and the red underline. Seems strange for marketing department to...
Looks just like the gasser. Sigh.
It doesn't fuel the same, it doesn't drive the same, it doesn't brake the same. Why should it look the same? I think the successful designs will be the ones that look different. Maybe 5 years ago ok, but playing conservative now is a loser, IMHO.
