You're just SOL and it'll happen every time it snows and the temperature is anywhere near freezing.

Definitely more of a personal take. With an EV the one thing you get that you don't with ICE is the ability to refuel while doing other things like grabbing food or using the restroom. Assuming I manage to find a charger near those amenities, it gives the advantage to the EV, but I still don't...

I'm sure almost no one will, but watch even some of the last episode of their I-90 Surge series. Charging speed trumps inefficiency all day, every day on a road trip. Kyle claims that Porsche engineers told him that they pushed charging speed significantly on the gen 2 Taycan because they...

The charging issues have literally nothing to do with 400V vs 800V architecture. Rivian didn't size the cooling system properly and/or design the coolant routing in the pack well and the temperatures during charging get too high and derate long before they should. Kyle's gripe has been that...

Never leave a gap like that in traffic...it just invites idiots to pull out into traffic when they can't see.

Interesting there's no NEMA 14-30 adapter. Does the unit automatically change settings depending on the adapter installed such that a TT-30 would limit to 24A automatically to make it more user-friendly?

Broomfield, CO Grand Junction, CO Salida, CO Hays, KS Depending on some future trips, there are a bunch more I'd likely use to include the ones in Louisiana, Missouri, Illinois, Texas, etc.

Even assuming US regulations back off mandates on EV sales, the rest of the world won't be. Most vehicle manufacturers, even US-based manufacturers, sell a lot of vehicles overseas and they'll still have to meet those requirements. Any manufacturer that dramatically changes their production...

You can absolutely charge at 24A with the TT-30, I did it at an RV park last year, but was obviously using a different EVSE than this.

I charge at 24A (30A breaker) and rarely have an issue, but my ToU is cheapest from 7p - 1p so I have plenty of time to top up overnight. That translates to ~5.2-5.5 kW and notionally 10-12 hours of charging before leaving on a trip, so I can realistically get around 50-60 kWh. If I need more...

Definitely not the Monroney. I've only seen one once, but it's a "formal looking" certificate much like a vehicle title that's used to initially title a vehicle. I think every case since when buying a new vehicle the dealer must've sent it to the lender as it never passed through my hands.

Interesting. When was your Gen1 manufactured? Mine was Feb 2023 and has the single-piece cast subframe, where earlier trucks had a welded unit that was found to crack. It's not what I'd call clicking, but I do get an odd small thunk going over some bumps, but I only perceive it on the...

A lot of this. But for me, I'm sticking to my guns that I won't consider an upgrade until a proper 180+ kWh Max pack comes along. It's what I originally ordered and it's what I still want. While towing is absolutely possible with the 131 kWh Large pack, it's painful with the current state of...

Yes it still torque vectors and yes only at the rear, much like the Plaid and the Lucid tri-motors. The bigger problem is actually tires for braking, especially with the all-terrains vs the all-season or "sport" tires. At least for a single stop, which is all most people need, the brakes are...

The G1 Quad is traction limited at the front, which is part of the reason it's geared taller than the rear. The rear motors in the G2 Tri / Quad are more powerful than the rear G1 Quad motors and because you have more traction at the back as weight transfers rearward you can put it to full use...

It's a 7000 lbs truck...actual winter tires make a big difference over 3PMSF ATs.

Nope...but it's been an annoyance of mine daily since I bought the truck in early 2023. Really no excuse for it at this point. I'm assuming they don't implement it because the adaptive cruise will auto-resume for up to a minute or two. But I *hate* how it comes to a stop with traffic, so I'm...

I never got the email. Would be really odd if they weren't sending them to folks that had ordered both the V1 and V2 adapter. In any case, I sent my original order info to the guy who bought my V1 adapter...so we'll see if he's able to get a replacement.

I just saw about the Tesla SC coming in Sterling...that'll be very nice. Towing was the big ugly since I was only getting about 1.1 mi/kWh.

Because we don't need another Standard Oil situation. Diversity is good and will keep pricing somewhat honest. And the shear number of charging deserts in the Tesla network out west is way too high for NACS access. Most of the installed chargers are V2, which we don't have access to...
