Rivian Seat Component Breakdown: Sandy Munro Live

[MNLightning]

Drove ~800 miles from 5:30am to 9:15pm yesterday in our Rivian with stopping 3 times to charge.

I would say the seats are very comfortable.

I wouldn’t disagree, but back to back comparison puts the Lightning seats in as more comfortable

What kind of charge speeds do you need to see to cover 800 miles in that time. I find it would be difficult to average over 50mph with charging times myself

I hope the pun was intentional

We stopped at two 350 kW where we had a max of 200kW. And one 150 kW where we maxed the station out. But we are traveling with our 20 month old son so the stops are needed anyways.

I am planning on posting about our trip summary once we get home Monday.

Hey hey hey I take offense to that! Probably not wrong but still take offense jk ?

My 2017 QV (Got in 2016) has 43k miles and still puts a smile on my face every time I drive (1200 miles are pure WOT track miles). Seats are amazing, also own a Ioniq EV (Not 5) and seats are quite comfy but nothing brilliant, doesn't cause backpain it any uncomfortableness on an 8 your road trip.

Driving the Rivian I will say it's a great position with a lot of comfort but the best seat I ever sat in was my Saab or my Sister's Polestar Volvo XC60.

I second that. I own two Giulias and they have been great in every aspect. Lot of people that talk about the quality issues are thinking about the older model Alfas.
