Thanks for your thoughts. This is exactly what concerns me. I think I'm at a place where the odds of a "not good one" needs to be reduced before I'm ready to take the plunge.
Not sure what about my post calls me out as picky; I am simply responding to what I read and see in the forums and asking the question. From my perspective the number of issues that a lot of people seem to experience with these vehicles seems to move beyond a reasonable amount to what I would...
I actually thought about making that my third question, but the responses are proving to be self-selecting. The interesting thing is that while there were a number of people that posted in support of making the same decision again, I received a few private messages from people who would not...
Thanks for your thoughts - my question truly was sincere. I am trying to understand what it is that makes people willing to tolerate some of these inconveniences. I think I get it. And while the RAV4 reliability isn't my threshold, I do think it is somewhere above where Rivian currently sits so...
Thanks for your thoughts on this. To your point, no disrespect meant whatsoever. It seems to me that this is just a matter of choice. People love so many aspects of the truck that they are willing to put up with inconveniences. I am at a point in my life where every minute is accounted for and...

Thanks for sharing your experience. I guess I look at that list and have never had a vehicle that started out with that many issues. I agree that they're minor and on an individual basis I could deal with it, but the compounding effect is what I struggle with.
I appreciate your response. Candidly though the horn issue was one of the things that grabbed my attention and has me down the rabbit hole. Seriously for the price of this vehicle we're cutting out a $50 horn? So it can sound ridiculous. My thought process there is that was one small change we...
I have been a long-time reservation holder slated for delivery in September/October of 2023. I expect to hear from a guide any day now. I love the R1S look and it was incredible to drive during my First Drive. Going from an R1S back to a gas powered car feels like traveling in a time machine and...
