My Rivian is two years old, 41000 miles and still drives like new. I plan a minimum of 100,000 miles. I’ll keep it longer than normal because I can’t afford anything that replaces it one for one. I got lucky with the introductory pricing on a quad R1T. I love the truck. I might move to...
It takes years, Tesla just opened a “ show room”, because of VT laws. Rumor is Rivian in maybe two years. Why not use a network already in place? I like the Scout, but enough to leave my Rivian.
Yeah because other trucks on the road weigh the same. I was behind a 3/4 ton sitting on a scale with nothing in it, 6800 lbs. The point is there are plenty of heavy vehicles on the road driving around every day without tire issues. Buy the right tire is the moral of the story.
The R1T only weighs 7000 lbs. So you buy tires to match that weight. I’ve had no issues with tires. Your buddy should try the Toyo A/T EV tires. I commute on paved roads a lot so I don’t like them for that, but they are a great tire.
I just put TOYO AT EV tires on my Rivian, heavy and battery sucking beast they are. I think at 55 lbs they are too heavy for the truck. I like them for off road, but will be switching back to OEM tires because I daily commute 76 miles a day.
Electric motors can turn very very slowly with a lot of torque. My Rivian in rock crawl moves very slow and all of wheels have power at the same time. I don’t rock crawl, but the times I use the setting for steep hills That are slippery it’s been great.
Yeah those Rivian head lights are strange, but that was part of it for me, they just work. If I didn’t have the Rivian the Scout would be on my list to test drive.
I think it’s a cool rig, just missed the mark for me. It’s a little too geared toward off roading. I like the idea of the range extender. Never been a fan of the Lighting. When my local dealer had the price jacked for less stuff compared to the Rivian I never looked back.
Don’t care. I have a Rivian, Scout did not win my approval.
I don’t like the front end. I want more of the original scout look overall. The front end with the headlights and that big skid plate don’t jive with me. I don’t like big grills, tall trucks, or big front ends. I don’t want a step...
Agree. I am disappointed in the overall design and drive train technology, but mostly the front end. I was hoping for something more like the original. Not enough info about the vehicle on the web site for me to place a reservation.
