It would be great to see a charging curve!

I have a Tesla and Chevy Bolt and use a Wallbox 40amp with 14-50 plug for about a year now and have no complaints. The cable is long enough to reach both cars. The app works well. Don't remember how much I paid. I don't think it matters that much as long as whatever you get is properly wired and...

If I was going dual motor I would go with the Ford for the longer bed. The quad motor will be much superior in more technical off road scenarios whereas both Ford and dual motor Rivian will be more comparable to AWD than 4WD. Maybe I'm missing something, but not sure how a dual motor set up (for...

Mispoke, meant ONSTAR vs SIRIUS. I don't subscribe to ONSTAR in the Bolt don't really see the value in it.

I have a Tesla and pay no subscription fees. Mine is older and the connection is free for the life of the car. Newer Teslas require a $9.99/mo or $99/year connectivity fee inorder to connect over cellular networks. https://www.tesla.com/support/connectivity. Full self driving (which I wouldn't...

Not sure I buy that RJ did this from altruism, they had no choice after how many orders they were losing and how the stock prices reacted. It seems hard to believe that RJ didn't sign off on the price increase in the first place. The person making the decision is the person responsible. Firing...

I don't know if he is a stand up guy or not. He very well could be. He certainly comes across that way in the interviews I've seen and good people do make bad decisions once and awhile. That being said, I've written and reviewed a lot of press releases in my life as well as spoken to the...

I'm doing the same. I love EVs, own two (one is teenagers car) and thinking that I'm probably going to wait for a few years and see how the market shakes out. I suspect all price hikes are here to stay but used car prices will hopefully fall back a bit. This was going to replace our minivan...

I have always like the TFL reviews, they have a number of reviews on the Tundra (not TRD) - https://tfltruck.com/2022/02/video-we-put-over-5200-hard-miles-on-the-2022-toyota-tundra-in-just-two-months-heres-how-it-held-up/

I'm not sure I buy into this being a sham either - we don't know enough to say but it certainly could be a sham. If they were adjusting for inflation, they should have been doing it all along in increments. The adjustment makes sense compared to when the prices were developed (although crappy to...

I would not have put a deposit down with the price increases. It was very competitive with Wranglers and new Bronco and is still a better product considering road manners vs offroad capability. But I'm no personally willing to spend more than $90K on a vehicle.

Setting aside the distastefulness of how this price hike was rolled out, dual will be fine for everything until you need a locking differential. If you have never needed a locking diff, then you probably don't need a quad motor. I'm guessing that dual motor will likely function like a...

The price increase makes R1T for me over $90K. Will wait to see what happens when my time comes. A lot of things can happen in the next year, particularly how supply chain issues are working out, what are new/used car prices doing and what happens with EV tax credits.

$90K gets me in the ballpark of a Taycan Cross Turismo or new Model S. With patience, I'm sure I could find a used Model X for that or less. There are so many great EVs hitting the market now in the 40-60K range, I'm not sure that 30-50K more just to have an off-road capable truck is worth it...

Because of my charging habits I haven't noticed the daily loss, so I'm guessing it is pretty minimal on both cars. I have noticed in the summer the cabin protection will take some range to run the AC, but don't remember how much it used.

I have a 15 MS and while the minimal interior looks very sharp and clean, I ended up buying after market cupholders for the front and back. On trips with 4 people, a water bottle per person plus my travel coffee cup made the built in 2 cup holders really inadequate. Hopefully the ones in the R1T...

Here is another tow charging video of a M3, they were definitely towing much faster than 3mph

If you followed Ford trucks (and the other OEMs) it was obvious a long time ago that a comparably optioned F-150 was going to be in the same ball park or more than a R1T. I when with R1T reservation several months ago as the R1T is beginning to be delivered and was clearly going to be cheaper...

I have a Tesla 2015 MS 70D (and Chevy Bolt). I love the MS and it will likely become my wife's car after R1T becomes my car. I think Tesla owners underestimate how much CCS fast charging has caught up. While I've seen youtube Electrify America horror stories, EA has worked well with the Chevy...

Not sure if conserve mode also changes throttle mapping, but guessing that putting into 2WD makes it less quick - https://www.autoblog.com/2022/02/03/rivian-r1t-electric-pickup-8-drive-modes-video/#:~:text=In%20our%20First%20Drive%20of,Road%2C%20Sport%2C%20and%20Towing. Both my Tesla and Chevy...
