Amen. This comes up all the time about “Sustainability”. Doing something rather than nothing and getting 10% better etc is worth it. For those that spout the Debbie Downer approach we are waiting for the “correct answer” that will fix all ills with no unintended consequences.
To be fair the R1S is 3 vehicles in one (family truckster, Extreme Off-road Capable, and Sports car speed), while the Lucid is 2. R1S conquered the Rubicon trail, which may not be important to all. However this 3rd capability is the main reason I have both the S and T, so 6 cars for the price...
To fo what they are speaking of with extender with current technology takes a large engine, see Ramcharger. I'll wait to be amazed in 4 years. Except batteries by then will likely make this mostly a non issue.
If we simply have enough chargers. It's a non issue now. Except for towing.
I tell Alexa who to call and she does. Also does it right after entering truck as well.
Now I fully support that we should have voicw text through Rivian already.
While your my favorite tennis player ever, my cat as a kid was named after you :). I do disagree on the ride to say not great but very good. I agree not as good as R1T but that's about as good as any vehicle can be. After the many updates vis software it takes a pretty bad road for me to...
Yes, they will have to have an Airbag solution. Ford did have an F150 version as my neighbor has it due to 6 in family. Cybertruck was supposed to have but they nixed it.
My use case is if I made enough at 18 years old to afford one so that my "honey" could sit right next to me. Oh well, guess that ain't happening for most 18 year olds unless a youtuber lol.
Now my wife asks for the widest vehicle possible to stay away from me. It does look like the Scout...
The solid rear axle is going to lose 90% of this supposed market when they ride in it. Only the hardcore offroad types really want that. I had to laugh a little when they made a big deal of it.
I'm surprised by all the no buttons concerns in R1's. It seems to me to be similar to 1 pedal driving concerns. After 2 days you never miss the old way.
Once I setup my vehicles. I use the buttons on the steering wheel each drive and pretty much nothing else. When I use the screen it's a...
Don’t worry by 2027 Rivian (if truly still existing as it does today) will have vehicles available with many of these attributes. If Scout didn’t announce such things for 27 (many that I don’t think but do hope will be available besides on these concepts) they would simply be future AI R1’s.
Not yet, they don’t exist. Overall the concepts are more “Scout / Bronco” like with lockers etc. I think most that have an R1S will like it more than this concept. All the soccer moms around me bought a Bronco and then 6 months later were back in Yukons etc as they were Shocked that...
