I like the Rivian. Can't buy because of the strong regen. I can't believe Rivian wants a few extra EPA credits to milage so much more than the comfort and sells lost because of it. Dumb, just add a 'low' regen that allows for some coasting.
I'm going to try and help but I'm not sure I'm as smart as I need to be for you.
There's a rule I heard once: Don't let short-term wants impede you long-term needs.
I don't know about your situation so let me guess: Does the purchase impede your ability to buy a home, get married, have...
First, is this review intended to make you look smart to others? Sorry, did not work with me.
Next, seems you like to whine and express how you 'know it all.' Actually, I'm sorry for people like you. You can only feel big when you think you are making others feel small. Sorry, I don't...
I finally got a quote from GEICO. For real, a bit under $92 a month. Did not ask if it was a quad, dual perf, or dual. I've been with GEICO for many years, maybe 15+, without any issue (plus I have an umbrella policy) for things that exceed my coverage that they put in for the least...
Thanks for your replies, I tried to get a quote from Geico and without a VIN it is difficult for them. Maybe they don't show the Dual Motor yet on the screens.
And talking about Corvettes. My Corvette (senior, no accidents, no tickets) was less than 1/2 the Rivian. Not Rivian's fault...
I did not see another tread on this. Mods, if I'm in the wrong place I apologize.
I don't need 833 HP, 435 is fine with me. But the insurance for the dual motor must be less than the quad. Seems I need to put down $1,000 dollars just to get to the insurance page. I have seen people...
Wow, this is helping me decide less and less that the Rivian is a good EV platform.
I can deal with Fit and Finish but bricking is not in the category of "good EV."
LOL
(All kidding aside. Rivian is a good EV platform, but some people need to argue everything. It's easy to 'ignore' the...
All-in-all I see no mention in this forum that a R1S/T will not start, stop, or have EV platform issues.
I don't mind the early adopter scenario as long as I get safely from point A to point B.
I have not seen one forum complaint with the words "my R1S/T bricked today." I did see...
I'm getting great information today. Thank you. Sometimes in all forums, when you express a concern people take it as a personal insult no matter how gently you express your concern. You provide straightforward information and that helps me, because it is an honest assessment.
See my only...
This is most helpful. We don't need to feel personally attacked when people have concerns. You simply said what decisions you made and why. It moved me one-step closer to buying the Dual Motor. (I street drive and I don't drive fast. I suspect I will be in conserve mode forever with the...
Do you think the Vampire battery loss is due to the security system camera and such?
I'm still on the fence about getting a Rivian and I'm trying to learn what I can. However, the new Maryland SC is helping me feel a bit better.
I am wondering what the mobile service offers and cannot fix...
Can someone tell me about the "pick up and drop off" mentioned by Trandall above 3 replies. With the 'dual motor' I don't think my insurance will be that bad (no tickets, no accidents, and over 65) The Rivian is a fun extra truck for me and my concern is travel to SC for service. This is...
I'm sorry to hear you are having heat issues and I'm glad you travel without issue.
However, I don't have issues with heating and I don't want to travel 180 miles.
Best wishes for you doing what works for you, I am conveying what works for me.
One thing to keep in mind. For a 40 Amp charger use a 50 Amp circuit, 50 Amp charger on a 60 Amp. This is because the charger draws continuously for hours at a time.
The EX90 has one critical item that is my sole reason for dropping my Rivian reservation: No local, to me, Service Centers. I expect as an early adopter to visit a Service Center a few times. However, the closest SC to me is a 90-minute trip each way (assuming OK traffic on I-95 in...
