It does sound simple enough but from a business standpoint, there's very little incentive or ROI for the dealership. Instead of one fleet of loaners, now service dept. has to have two fleets, depending on service length (which isn't always easy to determine just from a "customer says issue")...
Problem with giving ICE owners BEV loaners is the learning curve esp with charging. The local Audi dealerships did this few years back with loaner Etrons and they went back to ICE after customers didn't know how to charge/where to charge and having dead vehicles needing towing back to...

Came back into town and drove around until I was down to 0%/limited power. Parked and 2 hours later, SOC jumped to 15%. Drove around...
Rivian software has been pretty good, but my reference is only with VAG products. Realibility is decent for a 1st gen built. There're a lot of R1s with half shaft issues (replaced mine 3 times), quality of interior fit/finish is poor (Jeep Wrangler IMO). Hopefully this improves as there are...

Initially I thought problem was due to voltage being too high (246V) so I...
