  3. Help a prospective buyer pull the trigger (or not)

    I have a gen 1 R1S but I held on to my 15 year old wrangler. I was prepared that leading edge would also mean bleeding edge so not everything would be perfect but so far I have had the hvac/floorboard issue and a new 12v that was changed my mobile service. if you have a use for a pickup truck...

  7. Chromecast vs AirPlay

    Throwing Amazon a bone for ordering 100k edvs and making an investment ?
  8. Chromecast vs AirPlay

    I am not advocating for CarPlay but the addition of chromecast seems a bit hypocritical.

    In south Louisiana I am .08/ mile in the Rivian and .13 for a car at 20 MPG. So I save around $500/year and can charge at home and eventually negate charging costs with solar.
  11. Article: Charging The Electric Rivian R1S Was More Expensive Than Filling Up Some Notorious Gas Guzzlers

    I pay.11/kw at home and .37 at a charger. Let’s say there are some other fees that RIVN pays so their profit margin is .20. The cost to install a charger is 25k. So a charger needs to put out 125,000kw to breakeven. Average charge is 75kw. So roughly 1700 stops to breakeven. Until Rivian can get...
  12. Article: Charging The Electric Rivian R1S Was More Expensive Than Filling Up Some Notorious Gas Guzzlers

    I enjoy my Rivian but anything more than 100 miles, I am taking the model3. Adding 100+kw is just not very efficient.

    My neighbor has a lightning with an 80a charger. I was surprised Ford was offering these for home usage. On a 200a service the charger is taking up half of the service. Curious if the charger was installed correctly
  15. EV Charger Fire - Not Rivian Related

    I ran across this story. Hard to tell what EV this is/was. I will be curious to see if they follow-up on the charger. https://www.kplctv.com/2024/12/02/firefighters-investigating-blaze-near-frasch-park-sulphur/
