It's about .5-1.5% per year for all EV's depending on how they are treated. Anything out of the normal, and that would increase. EV batteries have been around for over a decade, degradation is a know thing and it is meaningless. Recent studies and manufacturer testing shows EV batteries can...

Have to shop around like a gas station. I've only used a RAN once, now just use the cheapest option while on a trip whatever it may be.

They DO NOT build fantastic vehicles, granted they look great with great features. My neighbor a Range Rover enthusiast explains all his Range Rovers this way....He's owned about a dozen over his lifetime. Still loves them. It's like the most beautiful 25,000 square foot mansion with all the...

As long as the investor are committed to a decade of money no questions asked, another EV success is in the works. If not, they die when the money runs out. Simple economics. I wish them the best but it's a long game or waste of effort. And why in gods green earth would you choose to launch...

No why, it's refundable and I reserved two. It's a reservation, no reconsideration needed until the time for decision comes. Also reserved 2 Scouts and 2 Volvos (recently cancelled as they're 20K more than expected). Reserved a Lightning, which I cancelled, a Mach E , cancelled, a Maverick...

What I never understand about these thread is they still own the vehicle and there a lot of these threads. If I had any of these issues with my T I'd be out. Carvana will give me what they'll give me and I'll go get something else. Complaining on a Rivian Forum is just as much a wasted effort...

Took me a family trip or two to get comfortable, but now it's almost like road tripping with our ICE vehicles. Stops are more about conveniences and food than gas (or charging) and a 5-15minute review of your options makes everything easier. I always have a charging backup and now you can look...

Interesting to hear the differences from real people not articles. With trade and increase I'd be out of pocket $40-50 on my Gen1 R1T. Just now worth it as I could buy another vehicle for that price. Feels like these rolling computers will always be left behind when the new version comes...

Just changed my 21's today at local Discount Tire @ 18,830. Jacking the truck up broke 1/4 jacks, but the rest was successful installing new Michelins with a 70K warranty. I was at 4-6mm on all four pirellis and they howled on the highway. Pirelli OEM 21's are a garbage tire for this application.

100% of what even RJ would say. Realistically not many are cross shopping vehicles with ones 1/2 or 2X the price (R1T and a <50K EV pickup), they just wouldn't be apples to apples. BUT the more people getting into EV's are going to want an upgrade or an additional EV....Queue Rivian, Hyundai...

Mostly recycled, but nothing puffy in my mind (great pics though), pretty straightforward look at what he went through so far with Rivian.

I have a Y and an R1T and both will do well when the R2 deliveries begin. While I think people might cross shop between Rivian, Tesla, VW, Hyunda, Kia, Etc.... each brand offers a slightly different focus and will do well in the EV space as R2/R3 come online along with Scout somewhat later. In...

They gave Rivian a big chance on one of their other trips as support vehicles. Many years later they were finally available for purchase and the primary reason I grabbed an R1T. Charging it by pulling it behind a tractor trailer was epic and I've always wanted to try that with mine.

The olden days of dozens of same model same make on the lot to choose from and take home today are pretty much gone with vehicles in demand. With Rivian and some others, the deposit is for a car yet to be built or secured in your name. This part is akin to buying a Porsche 718/911, albeit you...

They pretty much sumsit up or at least AI did from their video. Nothing strikes me as completely off base but their conclusions are obviously opinion only. Just a rehash of the rehash of the rehash of every Rivian review stated differently. Glad I didn't watch as I've seen too many reviews...

Buy the biggest heaviest vehicle you can afford has been my motto for 3 decades. Being injured or dying from stupidity like this is not an option for my family. Wife was rear ended at a stop sign in a Chrysler Pacifica (Mercedes R Class) by a rental Sebring Convertible. <$1000 damage to...

100% right, they will just bring in less as less will be sold at the higher prices.

As everyone already knows, there is no manufacturing in the US in any meaningful way. No-one is investing in either building it or reopening it. There aren't any workers for any type of skilled manufacturing save the auto industry anymore and no-one is going to school for things that don't...

Every manufacturer/wholesaler/retailer did some type of analysis today on the additional Tariff costs on parts/materials/finished goods. They estimated the value of the April 3-EOY expected imports and calculated the Tariff by item by country. The strategy on how companies will respond is...
