If Rivian goes bankrupt, all those orphan trucks will have some great dead features. Get 'em while they're hot!
Not to mention the Rivian nav system is not good at all. And their route/charging planning is subpar also.
I agree completely, have Mach E, R1T and Hummer. Many people are in awe of how the Rivian software looks and feels, but in reality Ford and GM have many features that are lacking in the Rivian. I am more concerned with features, rather than look or feel.
maybe you can point me to the Chevy Trucks that can no longer be serviced after GM went bankrupt 15 years ago or whenever it was.
Both may be true. The biggest thing though is Rivian refusing to let Android or Apple car play into their vehicle software stack. Just seems like a strange and stubborn hill to die on.
A bankruptcy of a major firm is much different than a small firm. GM had resources to restructure and continue as a going entity, mostly thanks to Uncle Sam. If Rivian doesn't have a re-org plan that shows making a profit, a bankruptcy most likely would be a liquidation. Once that happens, there is no warranty service.
He’s on cafeteria duty now
But we understand the bankruptcy doesn’t mean that cars are just going to stop working right? Or not be serviceable? Like you can restructure, get acquired, have 3rd party service, etc.
Of course. I certainly don't think they would just be shut off and left for dead. As I said, there would not be warranty service from Rivian. That's all I said.
So, the Rivian doesn’t have Car Play, charge assist or Satellite Radio but it has prettier app graphics and a couple of pieces of information most of us don’t care about. WOW! I rarely look at the app. I’m thrilled when I plug in and it knows who I am and starts charging. RI would like a few features back that were lost due to, IMO, complaints. We used to have little maps form each trip and information on each trip. There were complaints about the features so they went away. Most interfaces are are good or bad only in the eyes of user. Many love the Mac interface. I find it to be as non intuitive as the decades ago Word Perfect.
The Sync software has got much better and is in decent shape IMHO. The biggest remaining issues (for me) is it's still a little sluggish/underpowered (though it has got more performant with updates) and bluetooth audio streaming briefly cuts out when using the Sync interface (also probably related to performance.)
