Oh you mean the Tesla I haven’t had to reboot in almost 10k miles compared to the Rivian that needs it weekly? But it’s cool. Your crappy software engineer has been busy making costumes for a parked car….. keep on wondering why you lost your butt on your stock?
I’m ok with a car having issues. It’s mechanical. I get it. But waiting 3+ months to even get it in to be fixed? Cmon man
Oh no how do you live your life having to press and hold two buttons and take 2 min out of your week. Maybe we should all start a gofundme to cover your suffering.
I was responding to your comment that the only advantage ICE has is towing. Was that not obvious? You don't like when I question your comment? That's fine, but maybe back up your opinion instead of making personal attacks.
Yeah I agree actually. In my experience once the options were there it made all the sense in the world. The effort is there to keep adding chargers though. So all things in time really.
Towing and cannonball runs
That's not bad....so you would have gotten maybe 300 miles on your trip if you ran the battery down pretty low. That's honestly not bad at all for highway driving, but in my experience it's very difficult to get anywhere near the EPA rated range on a highway trip and even more difficult during cold winter months where range drops. I've been there and done that and it hasn't been a great experience.
Yeah honestly I thought it was great. I didn't even regret not having the Max pack. In the end I would've stopped at the same spot for lunch anyways and just had slightly more range when I did. The experience wouldve been exactly the same honestly. I also was going from sea level to a mountain so that will always impact range. Honestly my old Subaru went about that far on a road trip before needing gas too so things again were not that different.
Owning a Rivian isn't a prerequisite to posting on this forum. And that's actually a good thing whether or not you believe it. That said, your opinion of "garbage" is obviously different than mine.
LOL, it's kind of refreshing to see some infighting among EV brands instead of the usual EV vs ICE stuff that's so prevalent here.
tbf, home charging is what sealed it on an EV for me. I was leery of the whole experience going in. Read everything I could and anticipated a ton of drama. In reality, I don't even think about range or where to top off anymore. Even destination chargers (often free) at hotels, parks, etc have been a nice perk. The experience is pretty darn close to "get in and drive" I had with ICE and home charger is a big, big reason. Unless it's a specific fun car (something turbo with a manual), I am good sticking with EV.
except when you have your jeep sitting in a lot for 5 months waiting on a catalytic converter. Loved my Jeep, it was the best vehicle i had ever owned till i got my rivian. good luck OP hope you have better luck than I did, wagonner looks cool but too big for an suv IMO, 200" is my limit for an suv and 217" for a truck.
