Given the relative simplicity of the drive train for EVs, it's a shame that the dedicated electric manufacturers like Rivian and Tesla aren't much higher on this list...
- resolutebat 3y agoMy understanding is that US-made Teslas are kind of poorly put together, while the Chinese-made ones are excellent, which would explain the middling rank. (And why US-made Rivians are near the bottom.) I'm not sure Chinese Teslas are sold in the US though? https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/big-difference-between-us-and-china-build-quality.290138/ https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/big-difference-betwe...
- sgarman 3y ago(Rivian owner) It's painfully obvious rivian is stuck playing the american capitalism game where if they don't meet certain numbers of sales each quarter the stock goes down so nothing else matters. I'm sure they would rather invest in service, reliability or something but they can't stop for a second on trying to move new vehicles out the door. The future doesn't matter, only next quarter matters.
