I wasn’t having this problem before today, at least not consistently enough to notice. But today it was constant, play one song, stop. Press play to play next song. Long times between loading songs. Gen 1 Meridian, Apple Music, don’t use the other services.
I forgot how much more room full size trucks/SUVs had before I got Enterprise rentals for service (Ford Expedition and F-150). And they weren't as much of a PIA as I thought they might be for everyday use either.
I have done a couple of trips where I have driven around 230-240 miles and had around 30 miles of range left when I got home, for a total theoretical range of around 260-270 miles (Gen 1, Large, Quad, ATs). When it was around 70 degrees out.
I did the same trip in the winter, around 15 degrees...
1I can't say I would blame you on the charging time. Longest trip I've done with my Rivian was 450 miles each way, in the winter. I take my 2 door soft top Wrangler on road trips now, and that isn't great for road trips either, for a slew of other reasons.
If the Hummer speaks to you emotionally the most, that's what I would go with. Its ok for vehicles to be emotional purchases, as long as it does the basic things you need from it. It sounds like you would be happy with service or Rivian. I would just try to research how much longer charging a...
They probably don't tell people because some customers may freak out over their battery health. The customer is fine one day, and then the next day they freak out because the same truck has a state of health of 93%. It doesn't change how you should use it, but some unreasonable people would...
Yes, but there are many more Jeep dealers out there than Rivian Service centers. I wasn't happy with my first Jeep service dealer, so I went to another dealer. Both of them are about 30 minutes from me. I've driven my Jeep for 45k miles, and only one warranty service required an overnight stay...
Blaming the customer? Rivian needs to adress their service. And initial quality so issues don't need to be fixed upon or shortly after delivery.
My Rivian has been in for service 3 times, 3 service center sites, 3 different issues. Seems to average two weeks each time. Who pays for the rentals...
Yes, mats were (maybe still are) delivered via UPS/FedEx/mail. As for the NACS adapter, I know it sucks to hear (or read), but there is a line. And the last person who bought a Rivian is at the end of it. You can either wait for yours, or buy an aftermarket adapter.
Because I actually enjoy driving it. They aren't for everyone, and I know that. Just like full EVs.
I couldn't help but notice why I acknowledge a Jeep isn't a great vehicle, but I think its better than a full EV for road trips, and you ignore that.
I own a Rivian R1T and also have a Jeep Wrangler 2 door soft top. I think both of them suck as road trip vehicles. But I no longer take the Rivian on trips that require more than one charging stop. For me, electric just takes too much time. Charging stops in places I don't want to stop at...
I own a 2019 Jeep Wrangler with around 45k miles (bought in 2018 for about $45k). Its been in for service for one time that required 1 or 2 nights to fix. My Rivian R1T ($82k minus rebate, so about $75k), 24k miles, has been in for service 3 times in one year, averaging over two weeks each time...
