Pretty much any startup these days could be charged with the same thing. If they make it, they are lauded as revolutionary heroes. If they crash and burn, then they are lying crooks. There’s a very fine line in between, and whether they fall on one side or the other seems to depend more on...
So sorry dude! I had a similar issue with my first car - a 1974 Chevy Monza (yeah, I’m old!). Why they chose to run copper line from the fuel tank into the engine bay and then rubber hose from there (within and inch of the exhaust manifold) into the carburetor (do any millennials even know...
I generally drain as much as I can on the first leg, and then only charge the min to get to the next supercharger from there on out (assuming the supercharger is conveniently accessed from the route).
Given the number of and duration that Rivian has had test mules out in the wild, I feel confident that quality is a big deal for them. Different than Tesla who seem to value speed to delivery over quality.
That being said, I can’t bash on Tesla too much. I got mine in 2015 and couldn’t be...
I’ve always been a truck guy, but got the EV bug back in 2015 and just couldn’t resist - bought a Tesla S. Been waiting ever since for an EV truck, and have had preorders on several. I like Rivian the best and hope they are first to market! I cancelled my Bollinger reservation (I don’t think...
And that adapter was even more when it first came out. IIRC it was like $1,000, then dropped to $750, then $550 and now $400.
I’m pretty stoked about this announcement and hope they follow through S00N! I like the billing based on how busy the Supercharger is. The one place where this would...
Seems it would simplify manufacturing as well if they both sat on the same chassis. But I’m all in for R1T and would not want the truck to be any shorter than it is.
That was intentional I believe. They made a conscious decision to only us L2 charging. Tesla has decent coverage along the interstates in MT and some other popular routes like Big Sky / West Yellowstone. If you want to traverse via state routes along the high line north of I-90, then you...
