I get toggling Imperial and Metric, but what’s custom? You don’t like miles or kilometers so you define your own distance in cow pastures?

You reserve and pay for a room at the hotel. Why not reserve and pay for an optional charging space? I like it.

I got the point about only charging idle fees if the station were full/nearly full. So because that's what he believes should be true Rivian, EA, Chargepoint and every other network should recode their systems to abide by his rules? Feels a bit random. That's why I suggested he should compete...

Congrats on whining to squeeze Rivian out of some money when you broke the rules. I look forward to using your charging network that has no idle fees. How many stalls do you have open and what are your expansion plans? Until then, if you're using a service provided by someone else just follow...

Yes, I missed the airfoil at the top of the rear hatch. D'oh!

Using my 2025 Rivian R1S Dual Large as a reference point I put together a look at the changes from R1S to R2 based on whatever info is available at this time. Feedback, and additional details I've missed, are welcome.

theoretically a thing. practically? no. you’re limited to pulling less than 15 amps from the 110v outlet. won’t even power one space heater at full tilt. meanwhile I can, and have, powered my house with my Cybertruck with a 240v outlet in the truck feeding into a generator inlet. yes...

Not sure why you'd even watch or listen to anything from Kyle on this if he wasn't invited to the test drive. Don't get me wrong, I watch a good chunk of his stuff, but he wasn't there so in this case I have not, and will not, watch his takes until he gets his hands on one. Then I'll...

The last day of Spring is June 21st.

No doubt the Highlander will sell well against R1S (cheaper, roomier, Toyota) and R2 (same price, roomier, Toyota). Most importantly, it's going to chew into ICE sales as this is the Highlander - no hybrid or ICE options available. Feels more like a Lucid Gravity and/or Honda Pilot competitor...

Guessing R2 D2 (dual motor) launch edition comes in at $60-65K and then drops with Rivian incentives in 6-12 months as production ramps. That would be slightly above a Model Y Performance, but it's a new vehicle and Rivian can/will soak up every dollar from early purchasers. I doubt we see...

tis true everyone does not, and can not, know everything necessarily However, with R2 being a “bet the company” launch I’d expect comms channels to be tighter than normal….Illinois. Sorry, had to take the layup Dad joke. Enjoy embargo release day, we’ll all find out soon enough and maybe...

As someone who's spent decades doing M&A work, "independently" is something they may want people on the outside to think about as a marketing point. But in reality, no one acquires something to leave it alone entirely - makes for a sub-optimal investment case as all you end up doing is adding...

yes, what you've written is historically accurate. But innovation means pushing past what was possible. Graphene and other materials are showing promise to bring down the size/weight/power density issues of current generation ultracapacitors. Maybe solid state batteries end up being a...

I'd offer to think about the challenge differently - chemical batteries are going to hit a physical throughput limit no matter what voltage you run them at. Chewing at the limit repeatedly accelerates degradation. What if the DC fast chargers did NOT dump power directly into the EV batteries...

Gen 2 here, picked up one year ago. Theoretically "improved". Practically? No real change in the last major update. Maybe it opens a half second quicker if I open the app.

I'll take Phone as a Key improvements for $100 Alex. Half the time, I still have to take my phone out of my pocket, open the app and by then the vehicle unlocks (I don't need to click unlock in the app). Otherwise, I can press on the driver's door handle until the end of time with the phone in...

Turo?

with 92kwh in the Standard pack but running the risk of a sudden drop to 0% with the LFP you can't really trip below 20% in freezing/sub-freezing conditions meaning available battery capacity is really 74kwh BUT you can't access all the capacity in cold weather so shave some more off, at least...
