Just checked my numbers. I arrived in Austin with the following: 1408 miles 1.75 m/kWh average 807.6 kW total used 64 mph average speed 22 hours, 11 minutes drive time $143 total charge costs - left LA at 100% and arrived in Austin at ~30%. Thank you TX for cheap, and one time free, charging. I...

As another update, EA and all other charging companies, have a long way to go. Here's a Days Inn that's a total rathole that has no food or amenities around. Most of the chargers worked, except one being worked on, but were limited to ~150 output. For the entire trip if I had 150 output for...

I hope you heal up so you can make the next one!

Yeah, I'll likely go to the show once of these evenings. I've got a bunch of people I'm meeting up with here so it's hard to say where the weekend will go! I can say that the Rivian, particularly with the 2 bikes in the back, is a major hit here in Austin. I don't think I'd get more attention...

I just clobbered my efficiency on a road trip from LA to Austin. I ran the truck at 80-85mph for large spans and into a very strong headwind. I also have 1000+ pounds loaded in the bed and throughout the truck. The two motorcycles slightly protrude above the roof of the truck, likely further...

Here’s Midnight. I’m putting the Xpel to the test right now…the truck is completely bug covered and been highway hammered from 1300 miles of road trip. We’ll see how it looks when I get home and clean it up.

First day done with 700 miles under my belt, just over half way. It’s a long day to only cover 700 miles, but it wasn’t entirely the charging networks fault. I only hit 1 EA charger that was a dud and only put out 60kw. That slowed me down a bit, but all the others were somewhere between...

MotoGP, I wish I could go to the track day after, but I don’t have access as it’s Aprilia based. I was just going to take the Panigale, but then I found out last minute I have a friend flying in from Scotland and we have a bunch of other friends from Europe going to be there. So I figured I’d...

Haha, yep! And yep, they are at the moment!

Well, the truck is loaded and I’m heading out in the morning. Los Angeles to Austin. ABRP and PlugShare hopefully keep me from going nuts. And I hope the load doesn’t kill my range. But anyway, here we go.

That particular extend cord has been backordered for at least a few weeks. I also have one in order and was notified by Lectron about the backorder. I just received a Tesla adaptor and a Tesla extension cord though, they are a legit company.

It's been really difficult for me to measure the efficiency gains because the truck is new to me and I haven't had consistent weather to track against. Usually my testing is pretty good because I drive the same 100 miles round trip everyday. But with the rain here in SoCal as well as some...

Oh! I bought the kit and used it and didn’t even see them! Is it a new addition or it’s always been? And I guess, can I purchase them again?

@twraps is smoked rear reflector PPF on the radar or available?

Excellent idea @hungrycaterpillar. I hope then Rivian team sees this. A screen with some basic functions that pops up when put into park, ala Tesla, would be very handy. Kneel, lighting options, Gear Guard...

I think what everyone wants is for us all to fill out the survey so that collectively our voices are heard. Whatever the results, unfortunetley it will not please everyone.

Well to each his their own! That's why there's a survey...

So, being the huge Elon fanboi, lover of everything he does and says and any planet he's ever walked on, I'm a member of the SoCal Tesla Club. I just received this email from them that I thought other brand EV owners might find interesting. Personally I think making a screen and payment...

The CT fits everywhere.

I hope it does!
