The May - June 2026 issue of Consumer Reports has come out with their Most Reliable and Least Reliable Brands. At the very bottom of the list is Rivian.
They state the following for all EV and PHEVs "May EV and PHEV problems come from sharing new designs and components across different vehicles...."
However, in the hybrid, pairing a gas engine with an electric motor and battery makes a vehicle more complex than models with just an internal combustion engine. They claim that a majority of hybrids in this year's survey have average or better reliability.
Again, these results are derived from large-scale direct-to-consumer surveys.
What's the point, you might ask? Well, the point is that we hope for highly reliable first-year models for both the Traveler and the Terra.
It would be quite a disaster for Scout Motors to have bad reliability issues out of the gate. So please, keep the focus on building a world-class offroader for us who are eagerly and enthusiastically awaiting its arrival.
