Also keep in mind when the ICE is idling it is also creating heat from the engine and exasperating the lower airflow with additional heat around the vehicle. In addition the EV uses less power to just run the A/C vs letting the 200+ hp ICE idle to do the same function. If I have a short stop...

Sure as soon as Rivian puts full size seats in the R1 then put the minis in the R2. (optional)

Also need to know how much range is affected

Just drive. Rivian will get you there with ease. Try to see something interesting every day.

Electric bikes seem to be taking over the younger market. Don't need a license for compliant models.

I found that I liked having the direct connection to the engine with a manual transmission vs the automatics with torque converter etc. The EV extends that same connection to the motor with one gear from zero to 100+ mph. The direct connection is still with an EV. Just not the shifting to...

Yes and yet we whine constantly about delays and increased cost.... Fast, cheep or good, pick two. And sometimes only get one.

After looking again the stone seemed to bounce forward with great force vs the low speed of the vehicle. In addition looks like the vehicle would have rode up on top of the stone the way the front bumper hit the top of it. The stone flew forward like it was hit underneath.

Bolder seemed to bounce more than I would expect also. Almost like a foam or fiberglass prop made to look like a stone. Landscapers use these to save money. Or maybe it is real. If I was local I would be over kicking a few rocks to see what gives.

Well Slate website indicates lots of add-ons to personalize the vehicle. May fine a large niche in the market.

Yes Lucid needs a lower price SUV with a low cost build. Taking too long with the flagship vehicles. Could soon become the Betamax of car companies.

Not sure why camp mode is used if not really using the truck. Next time just leave everything off and see how it goes.

That should be fine. Is this a fused disconnect? Seems odd that 48 amps would open a 60 amp fuse like that. Probably need to electrician to come check. Should be no surge as the charger ramps power up slowly. Clamp-on ammeter would tell the story. I assume there is no heat building up from...

Fuse and a breaker on a dedicated circuit? Seems odd. Is the fuse from a quality supplier? Amazon? Aliexpress?

Tesla Wall Connector will also derate if the internal power connection gets hot. No indication of error on the Tesla unit? Easy to open and check the torque on the wires.
