All new cars, trucks, and SUVs "should" be built to last, but we know that's not always the case. As the automotive market makes a notable transition from gas-powered cars to electric vehicles, some people may be questioning whether these EVs are built to stand the test of time. This may be especially true if they're considering an EV from a startup automaker like Rivian rather than a seasoned brand.
With any brand-new vehicle, there tend to be some early issues, but hopefully, they're not related to the overall build quality. If your new ~$100,000 EV started to fall apart just a few months after you took delivery, you'd probably be irate. This is likely one reason some people are still skeptical about buying a vehicle like the Rivian R1T electric pickup truck.
