EVs are not reliable when it is too cold. And neither are they reliable when it is too hot. It's a Goldilocks and the Three Bears type of vehicle. The temperature has to be just right.

“Wassym Bensaid, Rivian’s senior vice president of software development, acknowledged the unfortunate incident, telling Insider, “There was an unfortunate cascade of events and edge cases that led to this situation. But we take this feedback as a gift. It’s great input for us to improve the product.””

I doubt think it can be called a “gift” unless it was freely given. It cost the guy over $2,000, in addition to his time and trouble.

However, when the car got stuck in 2.5 feet of snow, his love affair with the truck promptly ended. The guy's an idiot.

“and some have made alternative plans to buy other electric cars.”
They’re not coming to the correct conclusion.

If global warming causes your EV to fail in the snow ... you might be a Democrat. LOL

“I had seen all the Rivian marketing campaigns with the cars just eating through the snow, so it was kind of like, man, this is disappointing.” Rivian needs to change those ads, to show the snow eating the Rivians. That'll get people to buy them. No truth in advertising.

So I guess sightings of Rivians equipped with snowplows will be rare.

I thought those things were all wheel drive. A good set of studded snow tire might have helped.

How do electrics handle all their torque in snow? It’d be like starting out in first gear with a supercharged 427 in snow…

Rivian RS1 - starting at $79,800. Costs a lot to get “taken for a ride”, eh?

It won’t be long before the government (dems) starts offering tax credit for tow bills. And that starts the slippery slope to government funded and controlled mechanical insurance. Medicaid for your EV.
