With this nonsense about the 400+ mile not being available at launch, I'm for sure going to lease mine. Or, I'm hoping for the aux battery pack to be great or... a battery exchange program. It just doesn't feel very adventurous with a car that "only" has 300+ mile range.
What I find interesting in this conversation is the "+" sign behind the range numbers. It probably means that the EPA still haven't tested the car so we don't know for sure what the real mileage is. Another point to the "+" is that there are probably tons of testing and software updates to be made on the Rivian end to better that mileage. Tesla is the leader in energy consumption of their cars. With a simple software update, people are seeing miles being added to their range. For comparison, the Model X has around 375 miles of range on a 100kwh battery. Obviously, it's not a brick getting tossed into the wind like the Rivian, but I think that we can expect a different range as we get closer to the date. Lastly, how do the miles translate to off-road miles? Are they a 1-to-1 transfer or will I get more or less when off-road.
Anyhow, still upset
. But I'll be rocking my launch edition in June.
