It goes up the way an alcoholic feels no pain until the crash.
Then it’s potentially fatal.
Sorry. No sympathy, if he does not do his due diligence in researching the brand/model/class of vehicle he wants.
I assume these cars rust like others. $85,000 is a lot to pay. I would drive a junker in the winter.
I don’t see the attraction of the Rivian.
I do like the Lucid sedans though - great candidates for an LSx/T56 swap.
" When Chase Merrill took his first ride in his new Rivian R1S, it was his favorite car that he had ever driven. "
My wife is Filipina and I often send stuff to my in-laws in The Philippines . . . I use Google translate and I can attest to the way WE AMERICANS speak does not match to just about any other language on the planet, INCLUDING American Sign Language !
No English speaker would ever say, " . . . it was his favorite car that he had ever driven. "
A robo-monkey might.
“The brand-new Rivian ultimately had to be loaded onto a flatbed and driven to a service center in Chelsea, Massachusetts, hundreds of miles away. The towing fee was $2,100”
P.T. Barnum was right all along
So Rivians suck because of a safety feature?
The guy got his truck stuck in a snow bank that his previous Ford Edge could never have navigated. So his stupidity in driving into a snow drift combined with his stupidity in trying to improperly yank the truck out of the snowbank resulting in the triggering of a safety feature means that Rivians are bad vehicles?
There's lots of reasons to hate on Rivians, their price, their electric range, their limited utility as an actual pickup truck, but one owner's stupidity ain't one of 'em.
He waited and saved up all that $$ just to purchase his dream vehicle with an expensive pain in the butt performance failure. Sign me up. NOT
I won’t even buy the FIRST year model refresh for an existing vehicle. Like for example the Chevy trucks the that new 3.0 diesel first year run.
Why in the world would someone be the first to purchase a completely new unproven design?
People are so excited about the Magic EV(or are EVs just Lemons) and want to get scammed
I heard Volkswagen sells their cars fully equipped but you have to use an app and pay a monthly fee to get things like heated seats for a total of $300 a month for all the features ,LOL
That new super battery is just around the corner,
The Edison Electric Automobile Company in 1903. 1904. 1905.
Dumbass, Cars are NOT Computers on wheels,
Ive actually seen some good reviews on y tube about them from private owners that pointed out the qualities and problems they have. So like anything else, theres plenty of lemons in the basket. BTW my Maytag washer, 5 years old with a 10 year warranty on the moor and Tub, just lost the ecm (not under warranty)and cost almost as much as another brand of washer. replacing it isnt difficult but reprogramming it for proper operation after is difficult and requires a good technician.
Liberals (in both parties) are too stupid to do legitimate research. And if CNN doesn't report a story, liberals are ignorant. CNN doesn't report the debacle of EVs, so liberals remain ignorant.
I have heard that wrecking yards won’t take EV’s. Looks like it you buy one, you are stuck with it forever.
Doesn’t have Apple CarPlay = automatic dealbreaker for me.
I got a Rivian

Na nann nee na na....
It’s too bad Rivian doesn’t make their truck with a gas engine. They’re cool looking and nicely sized. But EVs are Stoopid.
