Pandora please!!

Would you mind explaining a bit what your are talking about here? I'm thinking of going for the 21's due to the increased range. Is there a downside?

Awe. We had TWO passats. A maroon 98 and then a silver '03. Loved them.

Thanks. Being only 6'2" and shrinking, I wasn't concerned about that as much as whether it will open so far that it'll crunch the garage door when the door is open and car is inside. My MME had to be adjusted so it didn't open quite all the way to avoid that problem. Ford provided that...

Is the height of the opening, adjustable? Meaning, can we limit how far the tailgate opens?

We really like ours as well, and like you have had relatively few real issues. We're still on our first 12V. I ask them to check it every time we're in. I'm just about to pull the trigger on a new one regardless. Software updates have really been the biggest issue for us, along with noisy...

Even though I'm unfamiliar with Rivian's early model bugs, I'm also happy for a bunch of people helping to work those out before I get mine. My mustang is a Gen 2 and most of the kinks were smoothed out by then too.

Thank you very much. I guess the good thing is my Mustang Mach E will be fully paid off by then. :)

So if I just put my reservation in in the last 10 days, am I looking at mid-27ish for delivery? :) I jest. But I'm curious what your best guesses might be. Oh, I'm looking at the Premium. Thx.

As a former producer of TV/radio content, I understand completely.

Aha. Thanks for the clarification. I'm concerned you won't find the answer you are looking for in an EV, at least not yet. Plus, you know, chances are, if manufacturers realize they are making their batteries too robust, they will reduce their durability and longevity so they can either save...

" But based on their community, among EVs that are 10 years old or older, only 8.5% have ever had a battery replacement. More than 90% of them are still on their original battery. "EV batteries are holding up phenomenally well," Najman says. Recurrent has also looked at EVs of any age that...

I believe the article, which is essentially a transcript of the audio piece they aired, said that they expect batteries to last as long as the vehicle is on the road, having seen multiple vehicles cross 200K with their original batteries.

A good read about battery longevity and how/why they are lasting much longer than expected: https://www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-npr/2026-03-02/how-long-do-electric-vehicle-batteries-actually-last

Sorry sir, I appreciate your advice. Somewhere along the line you may have missed that I'm a Mustang Mach E owner considering flipping to the R2. So we were discussing relative charging speeds between the two. Sorry again.

It varies of course. But first, are you talking about the lower charging #'s overall, or when it's cold? I usually try not to get to a charger less than about 15% charge. So the lower the 15% of course the faster the charge at first. But let's take Saturday as an example, I was at a charger...

Occasionally I'll get 100Kw with preconditioning on a 70/80 degree day. But it doesn't last long. Battery is 77.

Wow!! And with your GT, you had faster charging than my entry level Select. If I ever get 100kw, even for a few moments, it's a miracle. Normally even at Tesla 70Kw is pretty close to the top then of course it slides down pretty quickly. So which plug is native then to the Rivian? The same...

Gotcha. I can sell my Tesla adapter to pay for the new J-1772 adapter. :) Do you find your Rivian charges faster than your MME did?
