At least from what I remember off the top of my head Rivians are extraordinarily expensive to repair

Repairs are not the same as maintenance though, and Rivians are extraordinarily expensive just in general.

Are you telling me a brand that has like 10,000 cars on the road in the entire USA isn’t easy to fix??

You can't compare an expensive luxury model to a compact car regardless of it being electric or gasoline.

Is it more expensive compared to the Audi Q7, a Range Rover or a Lamborghini Urus?
