Oh! I forgot, I was looking at these before I got my R1T,
Audi SQ7 and Sq8. An insane amount of bang for your buck. The RSQ8 is also incredible but the SQ8 is like 80% there for a lot less money.
You do have some options it looks like
Trucks- the GM Twins (Silverado EV and Sierra EV)
SUV (offroad) - Hummer EV, maybe buy a used car and wait for Scout to come out?
Luxury/sport EV- BMW IX M60 and Lucid Gravity as a few others have said.
For ICE alternatives, a GLE/GLS AMG would be a...
I'm not missing the point, nor do I disagree with anything you're saying. Rivian does need to make a turn to profitability because that VW money won't last forever nor will their reserves so there has to be a change.
The R2 and the R3 will probably also have really thin profit margins that...
This could be really profitable for them. They already have the quad motors, all they'd need to do is do some beefier tires from the factor, maybe code in a 1 inch lift into the air suspension, make all the skid plates standard and all that. Price it just above the Tri motor which means wider...
Here's an interesting thing I thought of that I don't know if it's been discussed yet.
Obviously the R1X has been a topic of discussion for a while now, more-so now that we have an Incoming R3X that has all the things we heard about when leaks/rumors started of the R1X.
What if it's an R1X...
I'm sorry this happened to you. I have a lot of history with this as I've only leased vehicles, I was in the car industry for 10 years before COVID happened as a Finance and sales manager, and this happened to me last year with my Jeep Wrangler which lead me to get my R1T in December. So I'm...
This. Absolutely this. The entitlement is incredible. $100k for a car is nothing, but god forbid i pay an OPTIONAL $15 a month to get some things.
Same argument as "my car only comes with a 3 month Sirius subscription and now they expect me to pay $10 a month for it!!" Not a single car company...
I feel like enough people have replied to this.
Rivian has been extremely open about their entire plans and the reason's why they aren't doing CarPlay. From just about day 1 when they were taking reservations for the cars before any were delivered. They gave us heads up before passing on...
The amount of people who don't understand how this works is incredible.
Rivian is not charging your for spotify. it's using the spotify account that you're already subscribed to. If you don't have spotify, then use Apple music or tidal or amazon. Not that complicated.
If you're talking...
Shot in the dark here, but maybe there's an issue with either the door latch or the door sensor not registering that the door is closed all the way. That would explain why the music keeps playing (it's based on a door being open) and why it didn't charge (door being open = car being awake).
A...
It wasn't fun for sure. Really soured the whole "buy a $100k car" experience, but I also went into a Rivian knowing that we are somewhat Beta Testing the whole thing.
They gave me the cross bars and paid 2 of my payments for me. My vehicle ended up being out of commission for about 2.5 weeks...
I'm sorry to hear that about your R1T. Back in December when I picked up mine, the morning of delivery, about 2 hours before I was supposed to pick up my R1T I got a text saying that during the final prep they found an issue with the steering rack and that I couldn't take delivery of it. It took...
