So the way I read the complaint is more about employees leaving Tesla for Rivian with lists of other current employees. The IP seems to be related to these lists of employees and their expertise/positions/etc. From the posted article above: While I’ve been slightly disgruntled with Tesla as...

The short of it is that I have a 4 year old 90D, and I've taken it to pretty remote places with the camper, which means I've charged to 100% relatively often and drained the battery under 5% relatively often (on a daily/non-trip basis, I treat it with the utmost respect and care, but sometimes...

The display only reflects consumption when the vehicle is moving. It doesn't account for HVAC and other draw at a stop. The API only provides odometer, power (momentary), and reported range, so TeslaFi has to calculate from those figures. TeslaFi's website details this, if you care. That's the...

No. I'm saying that what Tesla reports to the IC trip meter is not entirely accurate or reflective of the actual energy consumption. Again, this has been dissected already, and the best place to look is TMC. I don't want to provide links away from the Rivian Forums out of respect for this forum...

And it's wrong on this point, which emphasizes what I was trying to say about the way that Tesla reports consumption in Wh/mi. The way to back it out is by using rated miles and EPA consumption. In the case of your LR+, you appear to have 98.8kWh of usable capacity, and an EPA rated consumption...

Rivian's volumes are going to be significantly lower than Tesla's Shanghai factory, which is building ~3000 units a week. That Tesla factory can build Rivian's estimated first year production in less than 7 weeks. They should certainly look different. I toured the Fremont factory in early 2014...

It appears you're looking at TeslaFi, which I have also used. Note that it estimates data and doesn't get real consumption. In fact, there is a tweaking parameter you can use to get it to more accurately reflect what you're seeing in the real world. I had to do this during some of my towing...

While your technical discussion of actual battery ratings is informative, don't forget that there is also a marketing component of battery capacity badging. Tesla has mislabeled total and/or usable capacity on a number of their packs. Jason Hughes (wk057 on Twitter and at TMC), posted this at...

Something that drives me nuts is that they state "Up to 400+ miles." Well, I realize this is pedantic, but doesn't that cover everything from 0-10,000 miles of range? Reminds me of ads that say "3, 4, 5 OR MORE!" Yes, that's three or more.

It’s a good point, and one worth considering. I sort of scaled it that way because my Model S has a lower vampire drain (in Wh/day) than my X, but surely you are correct that it isn’t related to driving consumption, just more electronic draw.

The reason some sort of solar canopy/solar suitcase would be helpful to me is really more about mitigating vampire drain while parked out in the wild, and less about adding significant range. When we're boondocking for a week, I can lose 30 miles of range on my Model X. And given the nature of...

It seems likely to me that this design is to simplify production between the 180kWh pack models and the other models. They probably don't want to do two different designs and this one allows them to use the same seats either way. Fold up seats wouldn't really work with the larger pack, or...

My experience mirrors yours, but is just slid back in time a bit. From 2014-2016, I had excellent service. Once the Model X was introduced, everything fell apart. That probably speaks to some degree to the fact that I live in Northern California where Teslas were saturating the market even in...

The Rivian is intended to replace my Model S, which I also love. I was going to get a Y, but the Rivian is a more compelling vehicle, if and when it comes to fruition. I think you left one negative on the list for the Model S - having to deal with Tesla Service.

This is my fourth summer towing an Airstream 22 Sport with my Model X. We have approximately 6000 miles under our belt, so my answers are tailored from my personal experiences. Connectors for charging NEMA 14-50 connector is the most important, because you can charge on a 50A RV port and pull...

It would make for a less interesting journey/show. Infrastructure here in the states is quite good. So it’s not terribly challenging to go most places these days. I drag a camper with me and have been all through the West and Canada. Electricity is abundant. Don’t worry too much about...

To expand a little on what @ajdelange was saying about the range forecast, there are two methods in Teslas to look at your range - the battery range status, which can be displayed in distance (mi/km) or in percentage. If you have it set to distance, it works precisely as @DucRider suggests - it...

I would guess that since this is supposed to highlight an electric journey, and the support vehicles are electric, that they'll get more airtime than if they weren't. I would also think that Rivian, having paid for and installed the charging network, would demand at least some reasonable exposure.

I'm assuming that once "Long Way Up" premiers next month, there will be another surge.

Thanks for the welcome and the concern. Currently we're only affected by smoke and air quality, and even that hasn't been as bad as it could be, thankfully. I was not counting on wildfire season starting so soon this year. The weather appears to be stable for the upcoming week so hopefully it'll...
