This is somewhat related. I went on a long trip this weekend, on the way back, I was 60 miles away and had 90 miles worth of range on the battery. When I navigated back home on the Rivian, it kept directing me to chargers on the way home, even though I had enough juice to make it home. I could...
I will agree with most here that getting a Rivian will not save you money overall.
For some/most, charging the Rivian will cost less than filling the tank of an equivalent ICE vehicle such as the QX60.
Those savings may be offset the following:
Registration for my R1T in California was over...
Makes sense that a larger Lightning is roomier and better suited for a road trip.
Good thing for me is that I didn't purchase my R1T for the road trip I'll do once or twice a year. I'll probably end up taking my R1S for an even roomier and more comfortable road trip for more than 5 people.
I...
Mine is not dead center, less than 11 'o clock position, but it doesn't sway off to the sides when driving on the highway. I don't have too much faith in Rivian to correct it, so I will just live with it. Not a deal breaker.
You have to feel for the bump on the unlock button, then memorize the location of the other buttons relative to the unlock button. Yeah, kinda annoying.
I've posted this before, the R1S made it about 30 ft away from my driveway. How long do you think it takes a vehicle to travel 30 ft? How long do you suspect warnings will go off during that time? I don't have to be in the vehicle myself to know what happened, my wife explained it to me...
I think your comparison to a truck from the 1960s is ridiculous. So that's our benchmark now?
I would not have my wife drive my 9 month old son in a 1960s truck that was in such bad shape that the rear axle could completely break off by simply driving it 15 mph.
I agree that it could be dangerous to try and move a 7K lbs SUV while trying to steer it with the power steering likely not working. I know my wife wouldn't be able to do it.
I'm grateful this malfunction occurred where it did, 30 ft from out driveway in a very wide street with very little...
