I'll also add this. Using data from the past (good or bad quality as it may be) would not be smart in this case given the environment that is expected over the next several years. If EV purchases are expected to enter an exponential growth phase over the next five years, does anyone really...

Inflation affects everything the same, so that doesn't matter and you can just look at the observable nominal values. A modern electric vehicle will hold it's value (relatively speaking) more than an ICE vehicle, and that's not really debatable in my mind. You can point to any number of...

The issue is they are using the Nissan Leaf, which I wouldn't even consider a valid data point to use because it uses outdated/poorly conceived technology that directly leads to high degradation and therefore depreciation. If you throw that out, which you should, the data would be different.

Got it. Yeah, that's not physically possible, so something was messing up the trip calculation (which it's been known to do). Typically average speed can be slightly understated vs. overstated (because it's time based and not speed based), so this would be the first that's happened.

They already have this if you look on their site. Though not sure your definition of thick, but they have a rubber mat with two texture options. PS. Carpet works just fine on boats in the rain, so it just depends on the type of carpet/material.

That seems like you had tailwinds if they were out of the S and you were driving N? Don't think you mentioned what drive mode, but perhaps you were also in Conserve? 2.22 in any mode is definitely not achievable at over 70mph with a 10-15mph headwind uphill, of that I am certain, because I...

Assuming a round trip to capture both sides of those elevation changes, they should not be affecting your efficiency that much (that number would be indicative of you driving exclusively uphill). Downhill doesn't 100% offset uphill, because regen isn't 100% efficient, but I'd say it's probably...

Lucid buyers paid $160k for a vehicle without driver assistance features at launch either, so I don't think it's too controversial, assuming it's merely software. However, the $5k non-refundable deposit bit does throw a bit of a wrench into it being totally above board...

What was the wind? Seems like you had a little bit of push from behind.

Yep. I think 1 and 2 are locked at what their account shows, 3 will be told what it costs when the time comes.

Wait, what?? Not following how in any scenario that would be the case. Regardless, your price is safe, I don't think there is any doubt about that. Now, what you receive in return for that price......that's still fluid.

500lbs is the rating for the running boards only. Worst case is you have 1,100lbs of bend, right? How much is that in mm???

Makes sense. I was only thinking about someone who installed their own 14-50 outlet and knew the circuit, which you would never do on a 40a breaker unless you were stupid. Or maybe your panel didn't have the capacity I suppose.

Got it, makes sense. Still odd that it defaulted to 34a (from the 48a it's normally on at home), and not 40a if it was cuing off using the 14-50 plug into the 10-30 adapter. But maybe that's because the EVSE is only rated to 32a even if plugged directly into a 14-50, but then it still raises the...

There's no need to do that, because people have already been told that since May, your price is whatever Rivian says it is at time of production/delivery. If Rivian raises prices tomorrow, everyone with a reservation since May of this year will pay that price (unless they raise it again before...

You don't really specify who you are referring to regarding who would be getting price increases. Everyone falls into three categories: 1. Pre March 1: These are locked and they aren't changing. They will manage margins through cutting costs, but they aren't touching this one again. They even...

Well equipped is marketing speak for the starting, entry price (Volvo: "Which we'd like to point out is still "well equipped". For an even better equipped option, take a look at our available upgrade packages....) It would be the first time in history that a company used a middle or high end...

It's a worthy point. The Munro video highlighted the fact that the Rivian frame is something like 6 in wider than the Lightning despite being several inches narrower of a vehicle. So, the frame that you're bolting to is a lot closer to the edge of the vehicle than typical.

Sure, I get that. But if you know the limits of the slider, you avoid situations that would exceed it is my point. So, if these are not rated to support the entire vehicle weight, you don't test that. It's not the equipment's fault if you do and you damage the vehicle. I would venture to guess...

For what it's worth, they specifically say that they are engineered as sliders. The weight capacity may still be in question, but then again the vast majority of people don't need to drop the entire weight of the vehicle on a heavy duty slider. It's going to take awhile before anyone can...
