Good lord we hear this all the time... "A $100K luxury vehicle such as the R1S should be like...". Nonsense. We don't buy R1 vehicles because they are "luxury". We buy them for what they are. The best in their class. It doesn't mean they are luxury. We pay extra for stuff we appreciate...

Waiting for the "100 years ago, I bet it had carplay..." post...

This post made the rounds on Reddit yesterday. It sucks, I get that. General consensus was that advocating for yourself in situations like this is very important. Ask for the manager. Ask for the managers manager. Refuse to take their offer. Make them own it.

The drag coefficient or whatever efficiency of the R2 may be really good. The EPA numbers are average at best. 330 EPA miles means less than 300 real life miles. My R1T large DM does better than that, granted with a lot more battery. My wife's Tesla M3 gets 320 real life miles.

Read the manual, all of it, while sitting in the truck.

Read the owner's manual front to back while sitting in the vehicle. Lots of good stuff in there.

Groot. That would make all the responses really simple. "I AM GROOT". Done. Fire all the audio specialists.

So, RA validates your wife. My wife likes asking questions like "tell me the fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin". (which she did) And, I have game I want you to play... (which she did). I'm like, don't bother her, I need to get to the closest DCFC that has a bathroom and coffee. (which she did).

I don't want a LLM chatbot like ChatGPT or Claude in my truck. I just want a smooth experience to help manage the drive and the environment. The current RA isn't perfect, but I am sure it will improve over time, everything else in the truck has.

Rivian only has the two adapters. You can add adapters to the 14-50 pigtail, but thats not recommended for long term use. If you have a Tesla now, and want to future proof for a Rivian, why not buy a gen3 Tesla mobile EVSE, and sell the Gen 2 mobile evse. Use the rivian points for something...

You set the charge rate in the vehicle before you start the charge.

Hey rivian, read the last text from [insert name].

I would never give a Rivian to a new driver. Too much power, too many distractions. There have to better options.

The Rivian mobile charger is a solid unit. You can find new in box units for less than $200 on eBay. throw in a couple of adapters and you are good to go where ever you find yourself. The Tesla mobile charger is a good unit too, it is a bit smaller and has pigtails you can get to avoid the...

So, just to put a bit of gas on this fire, the title of the post isn't accurate? There was no EV fire in Tucson. There was a truck accident that caused a lot of people to have a really bad day and there just happened to be two EV Kias on the truck. I'd be a whole lot more worried about ruptured...

I'm not going to click through the FB link. Did the EVs catch fire when the truck crashed or was it the truck itself? Why is this news, probably (and regrettably) happens every day someplace. I could care less what "observers" think about managing emergencies like this.

There are a lot of options. The problem will be the uninformed purchaser.

Because it is a lot less. Why does a full battery feel better than a full tank? Because I didn’t have to go to a gas station.

Lol. Came here to say both of those things.

Why would he choose to pay at a waypoint EVSE, when he can charge for free at the campsite?
