While I do miss our old Rivian (‘22 R1T), our Bronco Raptor is just unhinged and significantly more fun that the Rivian ever was. I daily drive I5N - and love all the EV goodness, but the Braptor is a 10/10 in so many ways that I keep trying new Rivians and keep keeping the Bronco… enjoy the...
Took a second test drive today in Canton, MA with my wife. It was all of 98 degrees Fahrenheit. I was excited to test it out with her, as her car needs replacement really soon. She got settled quickly and we were on our way. But dang, the air con! Once we finally go *enough* air to come out...
That's a great call out - no, I stayed in All-Purpose. I never went to sport in the R1T (or the i5N) as the roads are just too poor here. but maybe that would have been better. Thanks.
Went into Boston this afternoon for a test drive. One of the Rivian folks said they’re doing 36 demo drives a day out of that location and it’s been flat out. They have three R2’s: a Glacier White in the space, a Catalina Cove with 21’s and a Half Moon Grey on 20’s. I drove the HMG on 20’s...
Rivian dropped their trade in for my 2022 Bronco Raptor with 17k miles roughly 5k in the last two months. Significantly lower than anyone else. Total nonstarter.
We sold our 2022 R1T in 2023. I’ve kept watching them since, and even tried to get my wife into an R1S a few times, but stuck with our Bronco Raptor and Ioniq 5N. Now I’m wondering if I’ll do tri R1T or R2 whenever they open up the builds next month. I am definitely leaning R1T. Have had a...
I think the present SC setup will fall over fast with 50k deliveries this year of a new vehicle. They really need to nail the quality at a level they never have. Buyers of a $50k “downmarket” EV will not have the patience for Rivian’s low quality “we’ll fix it later / post delivery”...
Ionna chargers / stations rock. Fast, clean, and in my experience, have stuff around them. Oh, and cheaper than most.
a few pics from my last road trip. I really like the data they share.
We no longer have our R1T, but did take two road trips over this holiday break in our Ioniq 5N.
This car has a 77kWh battery and gets a measly 230 miles per full charge, or this winter more like 180. That said, road tripping it was awesome. We had fast, reliable charging at Ionna and EA and...
or live in a state with expensive electricity. $38 comes pretty fast when you think about is 110 or so Kw.
I definitely like data a little too much and I do track the cost of all of my vehicles, when I had my R1T it wasn’t that much less expensive than my bronco raptor which gets 15 miles per...
Totally agree. As much as folks say the R1’s are amazing off road, it’s got nothing on this BRaptor. Of course, on road, yeah, that’s a different story. If you don’t have to go off road, or tow a lot, and live on top of an SC, Rivian’s can be amazing… tradeoffs though. Tradeoffs.
