This is definitely the equivalent of a lemon law buyback, without the actual bad publicity (like Chevy Bolt).
And the truth is Rivian bought his truck back under condition that he will stop telling everyone about the problems he had. Isolated case my ass. Somehow EV owners are getting brainwashed with this new technology that doesn’t work. Here is another case.

5 years he put up with endless problems!!! And what does he say at the end? I love Tesla!!! Are you people insane. Though if you follow this guy in another video he said that he got rid of Tesla and bought, you guessed it 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime. He had one minor problem with some mirror alignment which was fixed and that was it. And that was he first year Toyota came out with Prime. I have 2023 for almost a year now and no a single problem. Not even a small one.
So why self-inflict problems on yourself then here are other solutions. How much time did he waste dealing with this shit? Is it worth it?
I think this is great, Rivian will get real world data on what to improve and what failed.
No design is perfect on the first try, continual refinements will make the product better and more reliable. These are still early years for EV truck development.
They bought it back due to a persisting issue preventing the owner from driving it for a total of 45 days…. It’s a lemon.
Cars like the Rivian are connected 24/7. No need to buy them for data.
No need to buy them for data.
I mean, that’s just naive.
There’s lots of “Data” that isn’t something you can infer from the sensors/logs.
There is a ton of information to learn from taking the truck apart, opening parts up, etc… Now whether they actually do that or not is another issue altogether.
It’s a good car, other than leaving him stranded FOUR TIMES in a year and 3 months.
He things it’s a isolated issue so my question is… will he be buying another one?
LoL! Yeah, that’s like saying: my ex-wife was great, other than the FOUR TIMES she cheated on me this past year.
So it was a lemon…
The OP is an AI bot.
Please see here for proofI am.
Say… Are you “stalking” me? That’s very toxic behavior. I’m concerned about your mental health. Do need any help? Reddit has resources if you feel overwhelmed or frustrated.
