At least Tesla has had physical vehicles to walk around. Not saying Ram won't beat them, that's up in the air. I'm just saying that video was 100% CGI and they don't currently have anything to show of it.
-
It's 100% vaporware, I wouldn't put much stock in a video like that saying it'll look better than *name any product*.
-
It just needs reprogramming, imo. There's no reason it should prioritize any 7.2kW charger or why anybody would even want that unless absolutely necessary. -
Skip to the 7:00 minute mark for the issue I mentioned.
-
I think the ONLY really bad thing about the iD4 that I've read/watched is the trip planner that coordinates the charging stops along your route. It's atrocious. It has you stopping at absurd locations with HOURS to charge because it automatically picks weirdly slow chargers. Which, if you're buying an EV, you already should have an app or apps on your phone to do this planning anyway. So, it isn't a major issue, just a really weird one, especially because it doesn't pick up their own VW-built Electrify America chargers.

Heck, it's pretty damn beautiful even in this condition.

A big differentiator between hackers and salespeople are one is supposedly working to sell to all people and their sales also benefit quite a few people up the line, hackers are either individuals benefitting only themselves (not profiting) for personal reasons or benefitting a small few who're paying them. I have great doubt any of these hackers are working for any company and if they're paid, it's most certainly under the table.

Oh no, it's possible to get a square deal from any salesperson. The issue is the BS they'll put you through, mentioned earlier.
-
I'd wager a very high percentage of dealerships have at least one complete scumbag salesperson. What complaints, prior to this situation, have there been about the Rivian 'dealer' ?
-
We do and it all went south with dealerships being scummy as fck. If they weren't scumbags, there never would have been complaints.
-
No, they're not spamming email, pressuring me to purchase, pressuring to buy add-ons, and they're probably not completely ignorant about the products they're selling. If they were actually selling their products, they could 100% answer questions about their vehicles without some weird runaround. Exactly what I said, but those aren't competitors to Balth, for some reason.
-
AND they also don't have to deal with scumbag salespeople.
-
Oh yeah, definitely sketchy.
-
Funny enough, I also saw this.
-
While I dislike the i3, at least it feels unique in a good way. While this probably took a lot of engineering hours to get a slippery body, they did it in such a bland and bad way.
-
That's where I found it, hahaha. This topic was a thread in a group I'm in. I'd also like to point out that I really don't have much of an issue with them raising the prices, even though the hikes were A LOT. The biggest issue was just not honoring the reservations, the ones giving them cash for operations prior to production. Yep, this is going to hurt regardless of "fixing" the mistake.
-
Seems they’re trying to fix their colossal mistake.
-
What's much worse than preordering a new vehicle with a deposit to have that price spike 17-20%?
-
Even if I had the extra cash for such a purchase, I'd be out on principal. Fck a company who does that to their customers.
-
Don't forget the least attractive.
-
It looks to be getting slaughtered again today.
-
So now nothing competes with anything?
-
They're free to order a Lightning or Silverado EV!
-
It isn't that at all though because there are still competitors. Ford, GM, Stellantis, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volvo, etc. are all competitors to Rivian.
