Cars buried in the streets of Montreal in the snow and everyone does as they can. Great zero for all car owners who, to get rid of snow, was easier to use sidewalks to position a nice pyramids from preventing pedestrian circulation. Selfish pushed on the climax. On the other hand, I thank all drivers in the small streets who took passers -by -to walk on the road. The example reminds that the street is shared with all its users and users on foot, horseback, by car.
By walking along the road, I see the observed SUV under the snow, with a strange logo on the rear door, in the shape of a diamond in which the circle signed up, vaguely evoked the target of the training fire. This is the Rivian Brand logo. You are not sure that the brand is so known on this side. The American brand has existed since 2009 and since 2011 under the name Rivian, contraction of Indian River. Long pregnancy, which was interrupted by financial crises, millions of dollars from Ford and Amazon. In 2021 the first model was launched, an electric pick -up called R1T. This is followed by an SUV, the one I saw, covered with snow.
Rivian is not given and even less since Donald Trump’s arrival, forcing the brand to increase the price of each of the two models in Canada last year on February. Details of R1T pickup between $ 101,900 and $ 142,900 and R1S SUVs between $ 109,900 to 150,900. Obviously, the price differences are explained by the type of motor or levels of the selected device. Prices to which an increase in last month is added.
Rivian does not choose a revolution in the genre of luxury SUVs. Unlike Tesla, it seems that with Cybertruck with a pseudo -profuturist looks like a third -type meeting, Rivian van seems to be very wise and very classic. Like an SUV, with a design that occupies very geometric canons that we observe when drawing vehicles of this segment. Therefore, you have to look at comfort, technology and strength to appreciate what these two models have something to offer and justify high costs.
Van R1T offers three electrical engine options: two, three or four engines. The force begins with 533 horsepower and can reach 1,025 horsepower for
Four engines. Autonomy is between 435 km and 676 km, depending on the model. A car that can easily compete with the Ford F150, RAM and other Silverad of this world.
SUV R1S is impressive and is stored in the SUV category fully size. Its size compared to the size of Cadillac Escalade, which is also available in the electrical version, IQ mountaineering. It is slightly cheaper than R1S. SUV Rivian offers seven seats and there is still room for luggage or grocery store. And as far as R1T is concerned, it deserves the interior that we dwell on it. First, the quality of the materials used, maximizes the layout of usable areas and simply a discreet way. We appreciate large central horizontal screens, but also another modest screen behind the wheel. The storage is numerous and the emphasis was placed on the comfort of passengers.
Tests show that performance is exceptional for both models as well as manipulation. We also emphasize the spacious, well thought out and practical cabin and finally the quality of the materials used.
The Rivian Service Center has opened its Ville Mont-Royal door on Ferrier Street, where you can discover R1T and R1s on site and maybe be tempted.
Tesla: The announced chronicle of the disaster
The Tesla brand suffers from the proximity of its founder Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The answer was not long in arrival. The sale of Tesla fell drastically until the risk of exposure to the company.
For example, in February sales in Australia dropped by 70 %. In Europe and China, sales have also failed. The most affected model, however, was the best -selling model 3, which recorded a reduction in its sales by 81 %per year.
When attempting to straighten the bar, the manufacturer decided to offer zero credits and rentals without an initial contribution. Unheard. The brand also tries to calm down by announcing the arrival of low cost models and the production of unusual robotaxi. But when? This causes economic analysts to say that Tesla has a desperate commercial strategy. Obviously, dissatisfaction also wins the largest shareholders to face the stock market, as well as for free fall. They blame Muska of dropping the brand in favor of his political ambitions. According to the same analysts, the solution would be the restructuring of the company that can even go to the department of its manager.
