@poplaurentiu4148

Жыл бұрын

Weird fact is that Doug selected SUV above and penalty 1 point the pick-up for practicality.. Well i would tell that it all depends of the family size, since to many smaller families up to 5 people R1T pick-up would be better option since no one goes with 7 people the practicality comes with the extra useful space in the tunnel behind rear seats, and bigger more useful space in pick-up bed.. SUV has no spare wheel if you get it will take some big space from the trunk compared to the pick-up which has-it under a lid in rear bed.. R1T can also have the biggest Max-battery pack to eliminate range anxiety but the SUV because it has shorter base can not fit the Max-battery pack which is the important key factor for these big full EV's to travel on longer distances. So, i think it all depends what customers will choose to consider a good practicality based on they 'r needs : more people > less space R1S-SUV or fewer people but much more stuff > R1T..

Programming a touchscreen button is cheaper and easier than developing, testing, integrating, building, quality checking, and installing a physical button. It's laziness and cheapness. Not that that's always bad, but there are some things they should have made the effort for.

100% THIS! I just got to the Center Screen and the Fact that you have to get into a Menu on the Touchscreen to adjust your Side Mirrors is bad, i don't like that Trend with EVs in general. Definitely prefer physical Buttons dedicated to certain Functions over a "Minimalist Interieur Look". I'm glad BMW and Audi still put Physical Buttons for Essential Functions that you don't need the Touchscreen for. But otherwise the Rivian seems fantastic Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps

Depends where you are, which EV, and if towing... but for most places, EVs can do roadtrips just fine, and actually often cheaper and more relaxing than gas cars, if you can use AutoPilot to hugely reduce driver fatigue, use the internet streaming music, great maps, etc. It's SO much more enjoyable and less fatigue, I won't roadtrip in anything else now. What EVs do your friends own? Check Tesla supercharger map or Plugshare etc, there are LOTS of chargers nationwide and beyond- Tesla much better & more each location- but EA/EVGo etc are improving. I've gone to every national park in CA and several beyond, including Death Valley!, with no problems- did have to do some pre-planning to make sure I know charging options and "must return/find charger" battery levels... hotel free chargers in Death Valley saved me $100 in $9/gal gas in the park! (only $12 for hotel in power, they have solar.) Rivian is working to get more level2 and other chargers in more remote and adventurous spots including national/state parks, usable by any EV, which will help a lot... Yosemite already has many, they took them over. EVs can usually also charge at RV parks/powered campsites, which is helpful! Quiet AC in the car, no fumes/engine noise! If you are towing,... that can be a pain for EVs though, range hugely impacted.

Love this vehicle. If Rivian can manage to stay in business, probably my next buy! Great review, thanks DougieDoug!
