Im saying it’s objectively not a $100k vehicle, and people negatively comparing the quality/luxury aspects to 100k vehicles are doing themselves a disservice.My Gen 1 R1S has been great, I have created no service appointments. Rivian reached out to me to replace the 12 volt battery and do a recall check.
You asked about lease suspension if your vehicle is down for service for a month. Highly unlikely, I don't recall anyone here ever mentioning this.
Based on your questions and expressed concerns, my read is that you have almost zero risk tolerance. While I think the risk is low, it's not as low as other brands. If you agree that your risk tolerance is low, my recommendation is that you look elsewhere.
Regarding "not a $100k vehicle", I disagree with those opinions. If you are comparing it to other $100k luxury vehicles like BMW, Lexus, etc. you completely don't understand what a Rivian is or is not, and where the differences are. Rivian is not a luxury vehicle, nor is it intended to be. Other $100k vehicles are not 600 to 835 horsepower off road, high performance adventure vehicles. Rivian's $100k value is in the performance and tech, not a $100k mall cruiser.
I think at least we’re saying the same thing. I spent nearly 100 for hauling and range capabilities and get that value from it.
Even on quality/luxury, you can also option a BMW 3 series to close to 70 or 80 or whatever. Comparing it to an other luxury car that starts at the price would also be a miss. Adventure or luxury or not, R1 are objectively not 100k cars, they’re ~68 with a table of options.
