Regardless what all of this, the larger the battery to more charging capacity should be added. Even at 12 hours for the mid-pack is just too long. That's 1/2 the day. And the 400+ miles one at 16 hours is just borderline unacceptable.
We can argue all day about what is needed and what is...
Delta makes at 25 kw level 3 I looked at. Problem, if you use single phase 240, it needs a 165 amp breaker. Even with a 200 AMP service, you won't get a permit to put that in. You'd need to upgrade and in my case, they won't put in more than 200 amp service (I upgraded from 100 AMP when I had...
If I were Rivian.... I would look to see the my closest coemption can charge in 8 hours of time and I would not want to come in stating to a potential customer that my vehicle basically takes all day to charge. Plug in at 10PM the night before, finish charging at 2PM the next day. Also to...
I wrote this in another thread, Rivian said 25 miles per hour on L2. That's 12 hours 0-100 on the 300 mile pack and 16 hours 0-100 on the 400 miles pack.
Everyone that says it's not necessary to have it quicker has never stayed overnight in a hotel with L2 charging and wanted to go on the next...
If the guide will handle the paperwork for you, etc, then it will at least be an hour IMO. When I bought my Tesla, the person that dropped it off at my house was here for over an hour, mostly with some of the paperwork. So if they want you to lock in and go over agreements, I think it will...
I will say at this point if no one was contacted by a guide on here yet, especially the super early Nov 2018 pre-orders, they are NOT going to deliver or at most a handful of R1T's in June. I will assume that everyone will have questions for the guides. I would think it will be a 2 hour call...
I have a home battery and thought the same thing. I paid about $25k for it, got the 30% tax credit and then a self generation rebate from the power company. I wonder if this truck would qualify for SGIP in California that would be amazing.....
As for the DCFC, I think having the 150 KW charging capability may be just as quick to get you charged up as long as it is sustained. My Model 3 does charge at 250 KW, but for less than 10 minutes, and it tapers off really quickly. If the F-150 can charge at 150 KW from 10-80%, that would be...
For me, I am not looking at the "legal" document.... If I do not like what I see, I will get my deposit back. This isn't a legalese thing for me. It is what I have been told by company reps, and emails I got. So, there were promises made, and if I don't like it, I won't buy it. Plain and...
I was told that the earlier I place my order the sooner I would get my truck when I spoke with them at the LA auto Show. I was also told about the advanced tailgate. And here is the most important thing that was promised and taken away, said both on an email when I placed my pre-order as well...
While you can talk about similarities, the one major difference is that Apple didn't take $1k from you 2 1/2 years ago promising you a place in line for a Launch Edition iPhone that has less features than was promised when you put your money down.
They release it and you pay once you get your...
Just remember that technically VIN #1 and #2 are already delivered to the Long Way Up series. While they were not sold, technically those first 2 VINs are already used.
Mostly true. I watched this video when I wanted to know what they were going to do to my tesla as I had the same damage. The glue most of it, but there are some tack welds...
Absolutely! I near fell off my chair when the body shop charged $15k to do the work. When people build cars like this it is reflected in the insurance. But this seems to be the trend.
