...400+ miles on the electric "tank"...hmmm....If they are going to sell these all electric vehicles, they need to be more specific and honest...Gas engines show highway mileage and city mileage...Electrics never disclose how many miles they will go continuously at highway speeds....The mileage drops like a rock....My guess, at continuous highway (60-80mph) speeds this Rivian won't go barely about 100 miles...


The advertised "range" of electrics is usually an unicorn-fantasy that can only be obtained by going 20-30 mph or something like that....and going 400 miles in one shot would take about two days....Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so...You never see an electric say how many miles it can go strictly at highway speeds...and that's because it is usually abysmal and is a deal killer once realized and the true cause of "range anxiety".
