The worst part is that the last couple of times I've taken ours in to the service centers for work, they effed it up and either wasted my time and the trip or didn't fully do the job correctly which will necessitate bringing it back in. Our earlier experiences in owning a Rivian were better...
We have two R1s and an R2 reservation that we just cancelled. Recent bad service center experiences with both of our vehicles negatively affected our willingness to buy in further. We're leaning toward Scout as eventual replacement vehicles.
I've had my truck thrown up in twice and have had to clean up shit on more than one occasion. Fyi, it's easy to clean shit off the headliner if you want to take my word for it. I'm not explaining anything else.
You do know that eventually if enough people are displaced from their employment that legislation will get pushed through to address the inequity? Ultimately automation will result in a better quality of life for everyone.
I had to throw my Rivian charger away. It was trash and I got no real warranty support or help. I have two different Tesla universal chargers and they work well EXCEPT that I have one that trips the GFCI breaker for the hot tub at one of my places. The panel is pretty maxed out.
We all do as consumers. But correct, I don't want average Joe to have billions and to be responsible for shaping the future. I'll trust the people that have made their wealth through the collective faith of all of us in their enterprises.
