Rivian's Dream Car Nightmare: Buyer's Vehicle Dies Within Days.

A Rivian R1S owner, who waited three years for his dream car, got stuck in the snow and accidentally triggered a safety feature that bricked the car. The towing fee was $2,100, and the owner is now considering trading the R1S for a gas-powered pickup truck. Rivian's customer service initially disappointed the owner, but the company later apologized and offered to cover the transportation fee. Rivian has been struggling to keep some of its order-holders happy as it navigates the early days of full production for its three electric vehicles.
