So, maybe I've just had an atrocious run of luck, but since taking delivery in March, I've had more rocks hit my windshield than any other car I've owned
And that wouldn't be an issue, except for the fact that the R1T's windshield seems to be fragile beyond belief. Every single little pebble has left a mark. Just this morning I took a rock to the portion of the glass that sits over the A-Pillar, and it immediately splintered outwards a good 5-6 inches.
Again, maybe I just have bad luck. But I remember in my XC60, it got hit a bunch of times, and those rock impacts never even left a scratch on the glass. In the Rivian? It seems like the rocks can't NOT do damage. Is Rivian just using the cheapest glass they could find, or does the universe just hate me?
(That's a semi-rhetorical question)
