This thread clearly demonstrates how inferior the Rivian vehicles are to the VW ID.4.
I haven’t had a single botched-up OTA software update in my ID.4. In fact, I haven’t had a single OTA update yet.
Discount Tire rotates tires for free (without balance), and they charge $60 for lifetime rotation with balance.
One could buy this four-puck kit and keep it in the car just in case Discount Tire doesn’t have it. I was told by Discount Tire just yesterday they didn’t use to have the pucks for...
I spoke with a VW dealer in Quebec about the range drop on EVs. He told me that based on their experience, the biggest drop in EV efficiency occurs between 10C and 0C (50F to 32F). Once the temperature drops below freezing, the loss in efficiency slows down. So, the biggest effect of cold...
If anyone wants to flip a CyberTruck, take it to Europe and drive it to Russia. You can get five times the price for it in Russia. And you can sell a few thousand of them there at this price.
Frankly, I don’t understand a $40,000 repair bill. My 2022 ID.4 isn’t even worth that much. I did have a fender bender in it which resulted in a broken headlight ($1,000) and a bumper replacement, which totaled $6,000 altogether. The $40,000 plus repair bill scares me.

What are EA and Tesla Supercharger rates in California?
By the way, your home electricity off-peak rates are 4.5 times as high as my peak rates while your gasoline is less than twice as expensive as mine.
I thought Rivian states 390 miles in R1S DM max pack. This could easily become 340 miles of range at 75 mph average speed and 280 miles of range in sub-freezing temperatures at 75 mph average speed. They are still incredible numbers, though.
Having traveled extensively in a non-Tesla EV As well...
It’s, in fact, ironic that the very people who enlist to fight for capitalism enjoy socialist-style healthcare and other socialized programs. Same goes for US Congress where at least half of the members are staunch proponents of capitalism while passing laws that ensure they themselves are...
Well, in this case, a settlement was signed that waived any reimbursement for the lost value. So, own insurance bailed out on the reimbursement for lost value.
