The snow handling sounds impressive...like they tested it well.
Only 6k lbs and they stuffed all the electronics in the transmission tunnel for manufacturing flexibility but still got a 117kwh battery to fit.

Another aerodynamic brick. That 117W battery is not going to give it a ton of range.

I like the looks, but you can add 40K or more to what I paid for my trimax for an suv that would get its ass handed to it by my trimax. The quickness is a primary factor for me, that would put this a notch down.

Looks good. They build fantastic vehicles. Why not welcome another premium brand into the E-SUV space that Rivian has vindicated? It won’t make your current Rivian any worse. It might make your next Rivian even better.

So, a car infamous for electrical issues came out with an electric car. I hope things have improved.

Range Rover? Overrated for years. Can't compare to Rivian. Drive well.

Super bad reliability is what they're known for
Sounds like a nice design at least...hoping Rivian at least tests Gen3 in winter conditions more...

They DO NOT build fantastic vehicles, granted they look great with great features.

My neighbor a Range Rover enthusiast explains all his Range Rovers this way....He's owned about a dozen over his lifetime. Still loves them.

It's like the most beautiful 25,000 square foot mansion with all the luxury in the world including outdoor spaces to rival the best country clubs or luxury resorts. But at 2am all the lights might turn on, or the pool will drain or the music will start blaring randomly. And all the home systems and appliances will fail potentially in the first 30-90 days with warranty denials from all the builders, subcontractors, and appliance makers.

FWIW more EV choice is a great thing and RR lovers will snap these up in droves.

Best comment so far!!

Just for laughs... cars known for some of the worst electrical systems over the years:
Jaguar
Rover
Triumph (or any Leyland vehicle actually)
MG

Hmmmmm, do I spot a trend???

You can rest assured it will be far less reliable than what we drive and with poor range. However, it will be luxurious, that is a given.

Wait a sec! I know what you're getting at. You just pointed out the worst ones. But, there's also Rosie Huntington, Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz.

My neighbor has a Range Rover/Land Rover repair shop. I kid you not - that one shop has bought him a lot of stuff lol. He says that people love the cars, but they are a mess. But it’s putting a couple kids through college and buying some houses

Lol this thread is rich calling out LR reliability, pot meet kettle
