Quiet owner.... but out.

[Tuggles]

I bought a LE used 1.5 years ago, and I've been to the SC 6-7 times, 4 will be in the past 2 months alone. I live ~2.5 hours away from the SC, and every trip is a pain that requires a full day of driving (or two, if I have to leave the vehicle and come back) and/or me taking time off of work.

I knew I was an "early adopter", and Rivian has been fantastic about getting me into service ASAP (even with appointments showing no availability until NOVEMBER) but this is definitely pushing my patience to the limit. I just love the truck so dang much, I really don't feel like there's anything else I would want. All the other EV trucks are just way too big for me to be interested in.

We're now into the 3rd year of production and have made probably over 100k R1 vehicles. The most recent JD Powers Initial Quality Study puts Rivian the lowest amongst all automakers.

Me trying to figure out how to use the Martingale Convergence Theorem to decide whether my Scout ("80% of repairs can be performed without having to go to a dealership.") will be ready before my Rivian warranty runs out.

Wow, how times have changed! Toyota has slipped into the lower half of the ratings

Probably related to the engine recalls on the Tundra.

I'm in the exact same boat as you. Bought my T used a little over a year ago, and later this month I'll be going in for either it's 6th or 7th visit. Thankfully for nothing major this time around, I just want a couple things replaced before bumper to bumper warranty ends. But it has me worried keeping it long-term.

There's really nothing else on the market that I'd be willing to switch out for, so I'm going to ride it out past the warranty and just hope that nothing else on it fails. Aside from the HV battery and the motors, I feel as though everything else on my truck has been replaced at this point.

I would be curious to see this broken down by EV & ICE. Obviously Rivian and Tesla are only EV, but the others need to be broken down further. It's new tech.

Side note: My dad's 2021 Ram 1500 with eTorque just spent 3 months in the shop because the alternator/mild hybrid alternator was on backorder. 3 Months.
