I'll probably get a Tesla while I'm waiting for either the Ram Rev or Scout, primarily because they actually work better than other Evs but also because I need a good dog mode like Tesla and Rivian has. Basically I'll just view the Tesla as working transportation.

I already owned an R1T and sold it after 3 years because I couldn't trust it. They, or at least mine, had enough annoying service issues and the service in the Wash DC area sucks donkey balls. That said, I completely understand why so many people love Rivian (I'm still a fan).

As a previous Model S and R1T owner, and now Volvo ex90, I can't agree more and have been saying if for years. I always get bashed. It's not a knock at Rivian really, Tesla has had more time to improve and fine tune.

"Less than" 50% doesn't sound very promising, a glass half full is still half empty

Put some big ass off road tires on the upcoming RAM Rev and you have a pretty cool truck, somewhat similar to a TRX/Raptor haha

I appreciate your comment and positivity about Rivian, given I'm still a stockholder, but I'm not the only one who had/having frequent issues with my Rivian. I think they're quite common. But not necessarily more than other Evs - my Volvo ex90 has had many many (I'll be selling that soon). I...

Well now, this seems to be the crux of the problem here, all of these iPad centered cars are revolutionizing technology so quickly that half assed versions get out before they are perfected. We buy them excited they'll do everything they promised (they don't), but addicted to the high...

Let me be honest here, and disagree with you. I traded a Ram 1500 Hemi in for my Rivian when it first launched. I owned my Ram for 7 years and it was never in the shop. Not once, except for oil changes. The Rivian had so many problems including full bricking, and the service got terrible over...

Not sure but if I were them I'd hold off until the economy gets better and trump is out of office after the Lightening f up launch.

Three R2 isn't the Scouts direct competitor, the R1 is. The maxed out Scout with generator will be probably north of $90k like the top end R1s.

I never wanted to go on a long distance trip in my Rivian because it would brick or have major issues randomly. Maybe only once or twice per year but that's enough to ruin a long nice trip. Once on a day trip the rear window wouldn't go back up and it rained the whole trip back. That window...

I thought about that, but I don't think they CAN charge a premium if they want to sell in these market conditions. Maybe in the end they can't cover costs in these conditions and it will never come to market as some on here suggested.

I was an early Rivian reservation holder, two years before launch. I'm not sure if your point holds much water on a Rivian thread haha

That's interesting. Did they say why? Where did you hear this from?

The Ram Rev looks like a really amazing truck, coming out later this year. Like the Scout (they have both a sole EV and EV plus gas generator), and Ford has sucked since the Great Recession. The stock price has been stuck between $12-14 for like 20 years because they suck so much.

Most people don't tow with EVs, but at least with a gas option you wouldn't get stuck in the middle of no where or unable to finish a trip because no chargers?

But Ford sucks these days. Failure after failure. I wouldn't trust them with another EV after the Lightening failures?

Why would you say that? Some believe the extended range vehicles will be more desirable in America than regular EVs? Ram has the Ram Rev coming out this year (700 miles!)

How do you think the Scout Terra (extended range e+gas) will do compared to the R1? Very similar looks, Scout is more Retro and has the gas generator option. Volkswagen owed and thus a significant technology influence from Rivian.

I had an R1T for 3.5 years, received mine shortly after launch, sold because their service was so bad and about once per year or would brick and have to be towed in. I live in the DC area. I would not buy another Rivian for that reason
