Got my EV9 back last Monday. Apparently the modem was locked up. They pulled the 12v for an hour then reconnected and everything came back up. They did a couple of recalls and tire rotation and sent it back to me. It's taken 3 additional OTA updates this week since I got it back. So seems all is well with it. Hated being without it a week. I just don't enjoy driving combustion vehicles now. Have to start thinking about what I'll do in 8 month's when my lease is up.
99.9% it won't be a tesla, unless they start giving them away and even then it would be a tough choice. Probably be another EV9/Ioniq 9, but been tempted by some Lucid leases for the last week. RIvian or Porsche if I go crazy and decide to purchase. Vistiq is a possibility. Been looking at F150 Lightning for deals too, but Ford dealers around here suck. Actually been most tempted to trade my Yukon to Carvana for a Rivian R1T and then decide if I need to keep a 2nd vehicle when the EV9 lease ends.
Have to see what it ends up being. I really like my EV9, so that is still my most likely vehicle. I just need to decide if I want to keep a spare vehicle.
Supposedly there is a Rivian publicity launch event next week. Right now I'm afraid the battery may not be big enough on R2 just from leaked material. 250-280miles real world at 70-75mph at 100%. Speed limits are 80-85 on the interstates around here, so range will be even less.
