Hello!
I’m an EV owner since 2016, on my third Tesla (a Model X Plaid) and now thinking of switching to the R1S. The switch is primarily driven by the early Rivian reservation (pricing voucher), current leasing deals and my move from Canada to the US.
I’m looking for some feedback on Rivian and charging experience specially is Southeastern US (GA/NC/FL).
- How is the ownership experience in terms of build quality, service and repair times (Tesla being below average)
- Charging times and efficiency (Large pack)- I hear in reviews the stated range is the actual range, is it true? Specially on Interstate driving (75-80 mph). How much time does it take to charge a Large pack from 10% to 80% or 90% on a Rivian DC Charger, also any charging tests on a Tesla Supercharger?
- Could I do 600 miles with one stop, driving at 75mph? Leaving at 100% from home and charging on the road to 90% (Large pack rated at 352 miles)
- Quad vs Dual, are there any difference in service/maintenance or features? A dual motor performance suits my needs, but Quad motor leasing deals look better. I know i’ll lose 30 miles of range and I’m not interested in performance gains.
