Wow, you guys are a tough crowd! I was just trying to give a stranger (to me) the benefit of doubt, and generally be nicer to people, especially on line.I'm sorry, you are a complete moron if you don't take 10min to read the manual of the $90K vehicle you purchased, which BTW is a completely unique, one-of-a-kind electric truck with 4 independent motors. There's even a whole section titled RIVIAN TOW OPERATOR GUIDE. I mean not knowing how to drive off road or in snow is one thing, but not reading the manual or even then just calling Rivian Support if you STILL don't know WTF you're doing....there really is no excuse. And it's irrelevant what percentage of other owners are also morons.
Then you go on twitter and tag not only Rivian, but the CEO RJ Scaringe, like a whiny little b1tch...because you're a moron and expect the company to bail you out. All while you're a VC and "advisor" backing a competing vehicle. Not only super weak but actually looks super questionable / shady.
IMO this dude and his brother are the worst part of our society. Best case: completely inept and incompetent at basic life...and yet entitled and self righteous enough to try and blame their f ups on someone else. Worst case: the whole thing is a fabricated smear campaign and they are super shady.
Either way they are complete f'ing morons.
FWIW, I rarely read the entire manual before driving a new car, although I may read it shortly thereafter. Many people on this forum are, by definition, very interested in the Rivian as something beyond a means of transportation. I assume many early adopters fit that mold. However, I also assume that if Rivian are to be successful long term, they will need to be prepared for customers that are less self-motivated to learn about the vehicle. I know plenty of neighbors who own Teslas that barely understand the basics of a charging curve or the difference between DCFC and a level 2 charger. I don't think those people are "incompetent at basic life"... they just have other interests. But anyway, I'm not trying to argue. Quite the opposite, I am trying to be nice.
