Not sure what the point is. I do agree that people have purchasing options, and this includes the right vehicle for the right use-case. Like you, when I bought our R1S in 2023, it was with the mentality of never buying another ICE vehicle again. Along with our Tesla, we have two EVs currently...

Would love two things: 1) Personalized/custom vehicle mode (e.g., Sport/firm/low suspension/low regen/low traction control) a single action so that one does not have to change multiple things while driving. Be able to have 3~5 single action customizable settings. 2) Automatic garage door...

No argument on how the top 10% accounts for the majority of consumer spending. Having said that, the top 10% is also very particular on what they purchase. For many, not all, EV represents future paper weight and are more likely to buy MB, BMW PHEV/ICE and even GMC/Chevy Denali/Tahoe than a...

I am actually surprised that so many of you are willing to upgrade. Please do ASAP... Thank you, A $RIVN shareholder

I don't know when you did this last or aware but CA has closed the loophole and if you buy a new vehicle registered to LLC in Montana or any state that allows registration based on LLC filing, CA will still tax you when you register the vehicle in CA. The law says you need to register in a...

What I'd said was that if one gets a new vehicle out of state, it requires lots of wrangling. I've know couple people who didn't want to pay market adjustment on a vehicle and did buy out of state. Both had to go through lots of steps and hassle to eventually register their vehicles in CA...

Don't forget to mention the art of using hand brake with MT on a steep hills. :)

You clearly have not lived in CA. It is next to impossible to buy a new vehicle out of state without hiring a lawyer and go through lots of wrangling without the mandate. With mandate, anyone that buys a new vehicle out of CA probable will not be able to register the vhielce, if the history...

Yes eventually. Probably will take decade because there are roughly 285 million vehicles in US and about 4 million EVs today. That's just over 1% of the total. By 2035, that number might increase to 10% (28 million EVs total) optimistically, but that still leaves about 90% of all vehicles in...

We all understand that it is an incremental enforcement starting with 2026 model year onto the 2035 model year. That said, how does anyone buy a new vehicle other than EV starting 2035? That's the point

Yeah baby...just watch the gauge showing 20,000 RPM!! For those EVs with fake shifters (i.e., Ioniq 5 and Toyotas soon), can match the fake sound and shift points to fake tachometer....

Just to point out that the average new car prices are $50K today per Automotive News: There are plenty of of EVs that cost less than the average auto costs without the incentives. The mandate has nothing to do with helping or hurting lower income households to acquire EVs. Even if all the...

Do people not wear watch? Isn't the clock on the screen insufficient? Or is it that you want it on the driver's screen instead of the center screen?

Highlighted in yellow simply says that future Rivians will come with NACS. The question is now that, that is happening with 2026 model year vehicles, what is Rivian doing about CCS1 RAN terminals and CCS1 to NACS adaptors, given that the new vehicles will have native J3400 port.

It appears the NACS will be the charging port on all 2026 vehicles. So, anyone getting 2026 have to buy CCS1 to NACS adapter? Or will Rivian provide it as a part of the vehicle delivery? Is RAN terminals being modified to have both or change to NACS?

I also agree with what you are saying. Do want to point out that I have used nearly 100% of my battery capacity on many, many road trips. I usually start at 100% from home and depending on the DCFC location along the way, I will run down to low teens or sometime into a single digit %. When...

Thanks. We can keep our classic cars!

Some people are ill informed or just ignorant about certain things but that doesn't make them idiots, as you say. Full size truck that weights more than Tesla maybe safer in certain types of accidents. Certainly not all accidents. There are extensive studies on vehicle weight vs impact...

NO there is no mandate to "buy". There was the CA regulation that stated all ICE vehicle sales will be banned starting 2035, and starting 2026 model year, the zero emission vehicles being offered by carmakers must meet increasing specified percentage ultimately going to 100% zero emission...

Frankly, this whole thing seems silly to me. Make a better product and people will buy regardless of if it's EV or ICE. Just like most here are arguing against the what Trump signed, people don't like things that go against what they believe in - for the both sides. Environmentalists don't...
