Rivian leads the industry in owner satisfaction, with Tesla coming in third — making it two all-electric automakers in the top three.
Consumer Reports has released its latest owner satisfaction survey results. Rivian is taking the top spot for the second year in a row, an impressive feat for a relatively new automaker.
Potential hot take incoming, but…
I don’t think this means what it appears to. The only people buying Rivians right now are people who very much believe in Rivian, it’s not exactly a mainstream car company just yet. That type of person is also very likely to respond to a survey about how much they like their car and are satisfied by it. This could be explained as just fanboy/fangirl effect right now. Thats not to say the cars are garbage or don’t deserve it, because I haven’t heard a lot of noise about the cars being bad, but I also don’t think this datapoint means much in the grand scheme.
No, but if I recall, a fair amount of youtubers have tested several ev trucks and I think rivian was usually the pick for the best one with longest real range and longest range while trailering stuff.
