Rivisn is not going to develop the Tesla charging network. It would be crazy to close off a portion of the CCS network. It would be best to allow all to charge from the chargers they install but with a price premium Tesla needs to open their network as well.

Your 2012 battery capacity has degraded. Your 2012 charging speed is sub-optimal compared to current models. It is the nature of automobile evolution for things to change.

s. GM & Ford are in so deep with unions their are handicapped or handcuffed from making major transformations----as handicapped with Tesla's on-going quality control issues in which new owners are expected to make a reservation with the service center several weeks after taking delivery to fix...

Three main castings for the unibody also means(?) unrepairable for fender benders? Thus higher insurance costs? As for replacing hundreds of pieces-welds-glue-screws you can't produce the specific numbers, locations or part numbers.

Clearly you are somewhat behind the times. At worst Tesla's cars were well made but they are much better now.-------Tesla still expects the owner to make an appointment with the service center after delivery? to fix the constant quality control issues the factory refuses to address. Some of...

, the manufacturing process is leaps above every other car manufacturer out there.-----"The quality control issues with Tesla is extremely poor Reading the Tesla owners forum is an eye-opening experience that repeats itself on a regular basis.

Mach e numbers are incorrect. Something like 99kWh capacity with 88kWh usable.

Oil and petro spoken as if you only read state run propaganda news.

People seem to get all hung up on this. ---- Yes we do. The V3 Tesla 250kW statements are just PR and do not reflect overall average speed/time. Not all vehicles take 30 minutes to reach 80% SOC. The soon to be released KIA and its twin Hyundia EV are advertising closer to 15 minutes...

Received a phone call from a person at the dealership in regards to the EV Mach E. One does not have to choose the closest dealership and choose anyone. It is possible to change dealerships during the process if you don''t like their feedback, readiness or whatever. Ford's executive's have...

There is the option to put that regenerative charge into a resistor bank instead of the battery. It isn't all or nothing. I----resistor bank? Point me to this item?

It does on all EV's and PHEV. At 100% there is no room left for adding regenerative charge.

The prime has all 17kWh high voltage battery pack. Usable is 11? Qualifies for the existing 7500 dollar tax credit. Has three different modes for driving and one does not have to deplete the battery pack during long distance highway driving. It is as needed four wheel drive as it goes...

Tesla has a different understanding and "games" the system for PR purposes. Edmunds tested range in EV and found out some interesting stuff with Tesla: Testing Tesla's Range Anxiety: Tesla Model Y, Model 3, VW ID.4, Ford Mach-E | Edmunds In February 2021, we reported that every Tesla...

Depends upon your definition of "exceptional". Bumpers falling off during rainstorm like Tesla? Random braking issues during autopilot? Chronic quality control issues that the company refuses to address?

Tesla admitted to "including" miles of range past "empty on the dash" in their stated vehicle range numbers. This is adds like 13-20 plus miles of range that no driver should use.

800V battery requires less amperage, resulting in less heat, meaning the charging curve can be flatter or sustained at a higher level than a 400V battery pack. Thus significantly shorten charging times. What is the cost difference between 400V and 800V battery packs? The difference is...

but on a relatively inefficient EV like the Rivians-------how are you defining this? The Rivian is "huge"-wider/taller/heavier as in an aero brick. The physical components of the vehicle are going to hinder it when referring to distance traveled per kWh of usage. Or are you using a...

KIA EV6 on sale the second half of 2021 will feature a 800V battery pack of 77.8kWh capacity. They claim 10-80% charging in 18 minutes! -- The Kia EV6 | Kia Global Brand Site | Movement that inspires ---and 60 miles in 4.5 minutes. This is with 350kW chargers. I do not know the...

But....the 140 miles of range in 20 minutes is for.....10-35% state of charge? If you pull into the Rivian charger with 50% state of charge in you hvb, are you really going to get 140 miles of range in 20 minutes or is it going to be 80 miles of range in 20 minutes? This is where...
