…and whether the issue may also affect their Lightning trucks.

Maybe I'll stick with my R1T after all. I'll deal with a potential broken tonneau over a big issue like this.

It's possible that limited real wold usage hasn't allowed a similar issue to show up in Rivian's fleet. Contrast that with the number of Mach E's that have been delivered and seen an entire set of seasons and the varied conditions that go along with them.

I'm not implying that this will happen with Rivan's vehicles, but rather that it's too early for a "victory lap".

Very good point.

If you watch the MunroLive episode on Rivian’s battery pack they talk about how it’s setup and the disconnects. They were impressed with the engineering. They also tore apart a Mach E, but I haven’t watched that one yet. Not saying Rivian can’t run into issues, but it sounds like their engineering is pretty good.

My neighbor ordered his Mach E last November, just one more thing keeping him from his car.
