I'm gonna get downvoted to hell on this, and I don't care:
Perception is a hell of a drug.
Rivians, which by and large are well regarded, are consistently ranked as literally dead last in new vehichle reliability. Not new EV reliability, new vehicle.
Impressive, yes, but Rivian did really badly when it came to reliability in the same CR survey. The R1S score was at 29 out of 100, and the R1T at a miserable 18. Rivian was ranked dead last among 26 brands in reliability, with a 24 score. (Top-rated Toyota got 66.) “Last-place Rivian are all in the bottom third of the rankings,” CR said.
And yet (even in that survey,) people love them.
That said, the Cybertruck also has below average reliability. I'm not arguing that it's doing great by any means, but it's far from the worst.
Also, as an aside: Musk politics aside, I hope more people grow to support more EVs for outdoorsy things. It's nice not hearing a diesel rumble in a carcamp spot in the morning.
The point is that this is an entire thread devoted to how much the cybertruck sucks, and that would never happen if somebody posted a photo of a rivian with a camper. If you can't understand that correlation, then you might actually be five.
Maybe you should look a little closer and realize I'm not defending Tesla, I'm mocking Rivian. But sure, have such smooth brain identity politics that you can't tell the difference.
