Since the Outback has served your needs well, probably the new Subaru Trailseeker, but I'm not sure when it will actually be released either.

If Rivian had used their own camera module instead of a really basic Mobile Eye unit on Gen1, they could've done at least this much in-house. But they didn't and they claim they don't have low enough level access to the hardware to do it easily, so they won't.

Mine would do that in sport mode after ripping from a stoplight before launch mode was a thing too.

You will probably never see vehicle components using native HV for many reasons including safety as well as the current manufacturing parts base all using 12v components save for the Cybertruck using 48v, which still requires an additional battery(or batteries) and a DC-DC converter...

Not really. I started out with a Chevy Spark EV in 2019 and it only allowed full charging, but also only had 19 kWh / 80 miles of range (50 miles in winter). Drove that all over and it did probably 85-90% of my daily needs pretty easily and daily charged it. In late 2020 I got the MINI Cooper...

Good on you! My funniest / best save was a UPS truck stuck in the mud on a snowy day after they ran off the road. I yanked 'em out with a Subaru STi on all-season tires. Needless to say, they were impressed.

I'm a Mark Rober fan, but would've figured Engineering Explained would be better for this sort of thing. Probably just looking at the number of followers, which Mark has far more of...but Jason certainly knows EVs and automotive tech better. Technology Connections would've been a good choice...

This. I made do with a 30A circuit (24A charging) from 2019 until last week when I finally upgraded to a 50A circuit (though we ran wire/conduit for 60A). I really only upgraded because we have a 2nd EV now and swapping plugs around was a PITA, so I went 50A so I could use the new Grizzl-E Duo...

Jinxing myself, but my truck is a Feb 23 build and I have yet to get the 12v warning 3 years in and 44k miles. Not sure what's different across the fleet. I do generally keep my truck plugged in if it's not being driven, but unclear if that makes any difference.

Didn't take a pic, but tried it yesterday. Managed 3.22s 0-60 on Blizzak LT winter tires at 45F, 75% SoC, and on a dirty road. The wife and I both thought it launched way harder than just straight sport mode. It was impressive, especially doing that on winter tires.

Will be curious to see which way you go. I've stuck with handhelds because I didn't feel like figuring out a solution for my mobile amateur radio yet. I tried to go with a glass-mount antenna, but the rear spoiler made that impossible

I don't have a shot of the whole screen, but this is representative of what I was talking about.

Except that you have an 8 stall Supercharger just north of the Chargepoint and another 12 stall at the Frisco exit. Seems like an area that has a decent amount of charging already.

I mean, I do tow and I wish it was still a button.

As we have to say every time, they introduce more vehicles in batches and only on business days...it's not continuous. Should get more this afternoon. See this guide from @Rivian Roamer. https://rivianroamer.com/guides/software-updates

They were better before the towing tab, but the change I'm talking about was just introduced in this one, 2026.03.

Anyone else's gauge view showing microscopic efficiency numbers on the trip meter? Really annoying since that's the number I'm actually interested in much of the time. Not sure why they made the change...the trip miles isn't really any bigger, but the efficiency and time/avg speed are super...

I've done this before...once, when I was still carrying the key fob instead of relying on PaaK. I still carry a keycard in my wallet after the PaaK-pocalypse a few years ago.

The new iOS app just hit the store to support 2026.03 and the new watch app.

To be blunt, they have metrics on Android vs Apple users via the mobile app. Supporting watches on those platforms would be easier as many of the same APIs would apply. They simply can't know without user surveys and the like how many users there are for Garmin watches. I used to use Garmin...
