!!!
It does show current state of charge but that's it, none of the other features work :(
For those without cross bars I designed this very simple plate that makes use of the Mars Adventure Accessory Port Adapter (Rivian Accessory Port Adapter | Mars Adventure Gear) and the Tusk Quick Release flag pole holder.
I initially 3D printed a plate but decided to go with aluminum and used...
Doug talks some more about the R2 at the 8 minute mark of this week's This Car Pod
Ferrari’s Big Reveal, Doug’s Real Opinion on the Rivian R2 & Ford in Trouble! This Car Pod! EP98
He mentions it's the best EV he has been around.
I think all the reviews I saw showed a red vehicle in the camera view but none of them had red paint beneath the wrap. Looking at the door jams on Doug's review car it was a dark grey/silver.
The talk out there is that all these test vehicles had a battery around 85kWh. They didn't specify gross or net but on the Out of Spec video review of the review videos ;) he said someone sent him a text with a vehicle sticker implying the 85 was gross capacity.

I'll assume you mean Volvo EV because I know lots of folks with Volvos that haven't had any issues. We have a 2021 XC90 T8 PHEV and haven't had any issues with it at all. Only service visits have been regular maintenance and a windshield replacement from a rock impact. Before that we had a 2018...
As far as I know within Tesla only V4 chargers are 800V compatible, earlier versions are 400V. I don't know what the ratio of V4 to other Tesla chargers is but, not sure V4 dominates.
I also don't see many 400kW chargers out there, which would be 800V, 500A but I do agree there aren't too many...
CA is proposing an EV rebate program where manufacturers would match the state incentive dollar-for-dollar. The program would be managed by the CA Air Resources Board and would apply at the time of purchase rather than a later reimbursement. No dollar figure is mentioned but vehicle price limits...

I haven't had a chance to watch it yet but Jay Leno posted this Slate video today.

Nope, set the same as always and other RAN stations show up. No big deal now I know where it is but would only use in an emergency anyway as I'm not road tripping in the area.
The iX3 50 is currently on display at many UK and European BMW dealers and a select few lucky German customers have already taken delivery. There's a good thread over at bimmerpost with lots of photos.
