Tacoma Vs. Rivian

How fast are they driving? Is it all down hill?

 

Averaged 2.7 miles/kWh: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/...rve-modes-efficiency-over-900-mile-trip.8405/
Averaged 2.58 miles/kWh: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/...o-yosemite-2-58m-kwh-average-efficiency.8799/

3 miles/kWh WOULD be staggering if that is what I said but 3x135 doesn’t equal 340-350.

 

70mph on the I25 and I70 in Colorado.

 

$23,000 for an in transit Versa, and it's orange.

If I'm buying an affordable Nissan it's going to be the Versa over the Leaf, a $10k less.

 

What happens when you drive 80 like everyone else on the road? That’s real world to me.

 

Apparently there is. They have an effective evaluation of $127 billion even though you feel like they shouldn’t.

 

Dude with the 44mph average speed perhaps did achieve 2.58 he may have gone 50-60 for 100s of miles the other 2.7 fella I call bullshit. No screen shot provided.

 

So 125 or so are usable capacity… at 2.58 it’s 322 miles. I don’t see these 350 claims

 

So is that 240 miles?

 

If you put non minivan tires and drive it like a normal person absolutely. It’s like those on here claiming the taco gets 30mpg

 

If/when I get mine I will let you know. The EPA tests are not done at 80mph either so its a fair real world test.

 

Minivans have 34” equivalent tires now?

 

Because the diameter is the only thing that matters in a tire.

 

So 10.8” tire width equals minivan width?

 

They're available new or used models available. Or order one.

 

Real world meaning how people drive everyday not some nerd trying to hypermile for a YouTube video.
How many miles can you drive at 80 mph with some occasional hills? Then how many miles doing the same when it’s 15 degrees outside?

 

How is driving down the interstate not real world? The guys doing those tests are in Colorado so I’m sure there will be some cold weather tests. They also own trucks with the 20, 21 and 22” wheels for full comparison.

 

Yeah, but he doesn’t road rage so how do I know what the “real world” numbers are?

 

Well yah. Doesn’t seem like they have the foresight that they are going need more service centers. Or as someone else said, at least partner with ones that already exist.

Guess home service is ok for minor things, for a luxury priced lifestyle vehicle would expect a little more.

They are going to have a lot of growing pains.

Yeah it is, could afford more, however that doesn’t mean I want to. Paid close to $40K OTD for mine, and I thought that was too much for a little truck that can’t haul or tow much. Wanted closer to $30K…there was a time not too long ago that was possible. Was looking at F150s pre-pandemic, you could get a V8, 4WD, XL sub $30K all day long. Doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. Of course there is an economic reset a coming…

 

Well to have the convenience of 15 minute drives to the local Rivian dealer for everyone is going to take a little more time. IN the meantime a tech showing up to a house to fix the car at your home is a pretty good compromise.
