How are you liking it?! Photos?! Congrats!

That’s the question I ask myself everyday these days lol. I’m in the market again and I test drove the Gen 2. Suspension is better but ride quality is still iffy. Strange bounce sideways. Out of specs has captured it well in his review. That and the cost of repairs and downtime repairing all the...

Did anyone notice any difference in the ride quality/comfort after the update? Thanks

Agreed. Except for Texas and Colorado, that have 100% requirement, which means repair costs should exceed 100% of residual value to be totaled, in most states the repair costs for a Rivian with moderate damage would be a total loss. Typically it’s more expensive than a luxury vehicle/any vehicle...

100% totaled. I had less damage (superficially at least) I had posted pics on this forum but the topic got a little side tracked (saying this kindly- a lot of people were more concerned about the verbiage and whose fault it was etc) Anyways the topic of discussion was cost of repairs for these...

Did you get Rivian again?

Let me try it again. New company, great product, poor service. If not addressed appropriately and urgently, high likelihood of failing. Considering it’s an EV company and a new one, failing equates to going bankrupt.

Thank you for all the updates. Really helpful. Wondering if you can do aftermarket modifications like tinting and doorsteps if the car is on lease

Horrible experience. Sorry to hear. It’s one of the least reliable cars in the market. Consumer reports and many other posts will attest to this fact. Yes there are thousands of customers who had a great experience. But that doesn’t negate 100s who had a terrible one. Small cosmetic issues and...

I’m so sorry for your situation. Accidents are just that. We want to blame someone but unless someone was obviously distracted on phone or drunk, it can happen to anyone. I was in a similar situation. No recording. Highly disappointed. Tesla does it very reliably. This is unacceptable for such...

This is where the crux of this discussion is. Rather than commenting about driving habits and therapy. I 100% disagree and Rivian fans need to take off their blinders. Are you kidding me? What cool-aid are you drinking? Do you honestly believe that?

This post is about cost to repair a Rivian. Currently, as it stands, it is likely 100% more than similarly priced vehicles. I am not stupid enough to post front end collision pics and say I was not responsible. This was about what happened next. Just sharing cost estimates so someone like me...

Thank you for your suggestion and your analysis.. Anti-collision technology is supposed to kick when there is A possibility of an accident. Automatic braking as well. My response to what my Rivian did was only when someone asked me specifically about it. Again, this post is about cost to repair...

So you basically admit you hit someone else by saying “this is not about who rear ended whom”. Not paying attention and driving poorly can get expensive - called consequences. Now it is totalled you can cash out and buy another brand that is cheaper to repair. Seems to be no need for you to be...

I don’t know about this particular incident but the bottom line is it’s extremely expensive to repair this car. I spoke with the technician today and he mentioned that it would be necessary to replace a whole lot of things as he doesn’t know if it can affect the heating of the battery. Also...

Not angry guys, is it only me that’s upset with the cost of repairs? You’re missing the point. This is not about who rear ended whom or whose fault it was. It’s the exorbitant cost to repair this car. And how it compares with others in the same price category. Does anyone have any experience...

Yes 50k - totaled

Unfortunately this is true. It doesnt take much to look up these horror stories

Thanks for all your comments. Conclusion: A lot more expensive to repair ICE vehicles, especially non legacy newer ones. Some examples

I would just get a buyback. The odds of having another truck having so many issues are extremely low. I personally wouldn’t waste any more time and energy. Get the money back- get the new cool Dune Edition
