Rivian R1T Owner Sets Mileage Record, Prompting Rivian to Buy It Back

A Rivian R1T owner drove 24,000 miles in 15 months, using the electric truck for work purposes. However, the vehicle experienced multiple breakdowns due to drive system and parking brake errors. Despite the issues, the owner praised Rivian's customer service for promptly arranging tow trucks and providing rental cars. After unsuccessful attempts to resolve the problems, the owner reached an agreement with Rivian to buy back the R1T at full price. Although the owner considers his case isolated, he still recommends Rivian's electric pickup and appreciates features like the bed-mounted electrical outlets and Gear Tunnel.
