The biggest problem is that they are Electric Vehicles, you would think that would have made the top of the list?
Sometimes some people just need bigger money pits than their neighbors.
That means she dare not venture more than. 100 miles from home....
My SUV is good for 600 miles plus per fill up....and, there will be a gas station at the end of that stretch that allows me to be back on the road in 10 minutes.
Some people just want to have the latest thing.
And/or they believe climate change is real.
It’s hard to believe that an EV would have loud cabin noise. They must have a lousy engineering team.
These six issues seem rather small and insignificant.
Compare these issues with a 70’s Chevette, Pinto or Maverick.
There have to be at least five or these in my smallish town.
For good or bad it’s an interesting truck.
The Rivian is a much a truck as the El Camino was. It looks silly and non-serious.
The hard part bout building an electric car isn't the electric part, it's the car part. It's build quality that's hard to get right and has to be earned with sweat equity.
Almost every Tesla I've ever seen up close had body panel gaps that were about as uniform as as those on a fiberglass kit car with a VW chassis underneath.
And build problems Teslas overall probably aren't any more numerous than other manufacturers, it's just that Teslas are so chockablock with bleeding edge technology that the failure of any one element of that technology is spectacularly obvious. Like roofs that fly off while you're driving down the expressway. Autopilot that runs over kids. Batteries that explode with no provocation and burn for days at 3000°F. And door handles that don't work if the car is underwater or on fire.
We saw a Rivian truck out on the highway a couple weeks ago. It was a cute vehicle but I’d hate to get a dead battery out in the middle of Habersham county GA. 😏
