Rivian Ev

TeslaTrail

I've been considering the Rivian EVs, particularly the R1T or R1S, and I'm curious to hear from current owners about their experiences. How do they perform in terms of range, especially in colder weather? Are there any unexpected maintenance issues or costs I should be aware of? Also, how do they handle rough terrain or off-road conditions compared to other electric or hybrid SUVs? I'm intrigued by their advertised capabilities but would love some real-world insights before making a decision. Thanks!

I've had my Rivian R1T for a while, and it's been impressive. The range does drop a bit in colder weather, similar to other EVs, but it still performs well. Maintenance has been minimal; routine checks are mostly what’s needed. Off-road performance is outstanding, with great handling on rough terrains, rivaling some of the best off-road SUVs out there. If you're into adventure and need a reliable EV for diverse conditions, it's definitely worth considering.

I've driven the Rivian R1T for a few months now, and it's been an impressive vehicle both on and off the road. In terms of range, like most EVs, you’ll notice a decrease in colder weather, but it's still manageable thanks to real-time range estimates. Maintenance hasn't brought any surprises yet, mainly routine stuff. As for handling, Rivian's off-road capabilities are genuinely impressive. The quad-motor setup provides great traction and control, making it a reliable choice for those who love venturing off the beaten path. If you're looking for versatility and adventure in an EV, the R1T or R1S could be a great fit.
