It's smaller, easier to use and has both AC & DC charging in said smaller & easier to use package without a big clunky connector, comparatively speaking. It's also a better design for liquid cooling which is where things are going with the higher charge rates starting a couple years ago. Plus...

Agreed. Backing into a space is the safer way to do it, objectively. You can see all around you as you back into the space and when exiting the space you're looking forward so you can much more in both directions to make sure someone isn't speeding through a parking lot w/o paying attention...

Everyone here should want Rivian to use the NACS standard. It's literally now the standard for the US. Rivian even announced they were switching to it, just like everyone else. No idea why some people here seem to think it's still an option at this point but it would be a terrible decision even...

Not even you know what you're saying now.

Since when is making a hashtag joke politics? I literally made a joke about wishing cars could be apolitical again. It was a simpler time before people found a way to make EVERYTHING political. It's about the most annoying thing going in America today and forums like this are being actively...

The vagueness I stated was done intentionally because it's what people are using to turn everything pertaining to cars these days into politics. Thanks for following along and not making things awkward.

Pointing out obvious politics of another post does not a political post make. But nice try.

Exactly my thoughts. What reasons exists that would make you actually want CCS over NACS so bad that it becomes a mantra? That's so weird. Why anyone would want a clearly inferior version of the same thing because of some supposed link to someone they think did some thing is beyond me. I just...

Like I said, it's not just about fitting.

Just because videos weren't made doesn't mean the same thing wouldn't happen considering almost all full size pick-up trucks have the same weight rating for their hitch. That's the point. This is stupid because it's meaningless and people like you want to act like it has some sort of value...

You can only show me two and it was obviously abusive and intentional. These aren't "proof" of anything that you seem to think it is.

And it does all of the way up to the stated limits of 1,100lbs tongue weight & 11,000 tow weight limit. These two numbers are right in line with every other pick-up truck in it's class. Tesla just does it with a lighter metal that costs less and is less prone to oxidation. This situation is no...

Interested admission to make in a public forum. While not the way I think I can appreciate you sharing with the group. Personally, I don't like when people misrepresent information by ignoring known & stated facts that don't support their biased stance in an effort to sway those who don't apply...

No, I never denied that and putting words into my mouth won't help your stance either. You just made my point though so... thanks? This is why pick-up trucks have a tongue weight rating. Tesla's is rated at 1,100lbs (again, nearly 3x that of the most popular pick-up truck in the world, decades...

We're not reading the same post then. His literal point was: "Thin casted aluminum cannot support towing" ....and it clearly can safely at the stated limits of 1,100lbs tongue weight rating & 11,000lbs tow rating. These numbers aren't hidden. Anyone who intentionally exceeds either of them...

So every time someone with an agenda intentionally abuses (there's no other way to describe an intentionally pushing beyond an item's stated limits) an item to failure to drive clicks & an agenda we have to receive that as a sign of clear neglect on the manufacturers part because... engineering...

The tongue weight is rated at 1,100lbs. This is published, it's not a secret nor has it ever been. It's also (coincidentally enough) the exact same rating or MORE than other full size pick-up trucks in it's class. *cough*Ford F150 400lb tongue weight*cough* It failed at nearly 10x that rated...

Not an engineer, are ya?

You do know that tongue weight doesn't equate to towing capacity, right?

I didn't say it was a "Tesla genius discovery" but Tesla was first to put a heat pump system of that complexity (using lossy-state motors to that extent as well as other useful innovations all combined to work together) into mass-production cars, to give credit where credit is due. The other...
