The older Tesla can not take advantage of V3 rates. I understand it as these older vehicles were capped at 90kW charging rates. Tesla upped newer versions to 120kW rates. Then last year(?), Tesla introduced V3 charging stations with 250kW rates. However, only newer Teslas can charge at these...

As for the Charging rate of 200kW, we hope the charging curve is better than what Tesla Model 3 vehicles sometimes obtain. The curve may hit 250kW under optimum conditions but only for a short time frame. A charging curve demonstrated by Audi has to be similar to what Rivian is promising...

Is 350kW rate for 800v battery packs and solid state battery when they arrive?

Rivian is going the route of GM/Ford and others with driving over mapped coverage. No FSD on any road for any company. Tesla uses FSD marketing as a cash cow and has yet to achieve level 3 of autonomic driving as stated to the California DOT. in 2021.

The article doesn't mention that Ford assisted Rivian with the build process of vehicles. Several Ford executives have stated in the past that Rivian has a lot on their plate now and adding the Lincoln project would just be too much now. Ford currently uses "pouch" battery cells while Rivian...

It's the strain of getting to scale where the errors occur.-------It is more than that. Outright design errors from the getgo exist with Tesla vehicles. The panel gaps? Much related to what has just been stated. Heat pumps failing? Lack of sufficient testing. Rattles and poor...

A 50 amp 1450 outlet exists in my garage and I am using a Clipper Creek cord that matches this output for charging.

Rivian has stated a max of 200kW during charging. For how long and at what point(s) of the state of charge? Most other EV, state a max charge value but fail to mention it is just for a short time frame. These charge curves often are sub 100kW rates for the first 80% SOC. Any news (I...

Dealers trying to shaft potential customers with ADM or excessive add on fees are being listed on the Mach e forums. Customers are able to move their reservation from one dealer to another to avoid such issues. Mach e's are being sold for MSRP. Those with Ford stock, employees or members...

will rape you on the prices ----those that have placed orders are not stating such. Information is provided on forums for which dealers accept Ford's xyZ plans which are discounts off MSRP.

I would hope all Rivian models arrive with 800 Volt battery packs.

Forgot about that vehicle. Battery tech has improved since then.

Ford Ranger EV hit the market in 1998 in "limited" numbers until it was discontinued in 2002. Leased only like t like the GM EV1. Limited battery technology existed during this time frame.

They're still not quite as easy to use as a Tesla supercharger, where you simply plug in your car and let the system identify the car and bill any charges to the payment method on file---Ford is going to do the same thing with their Mach E and the Ford Pass Charging network...

Elelctrify America has the largest USA CCS fast charging network designed for "road trips". Today (July 7th) EA has 443 sites with 112 future sites under planning and/or construction. That is 1513 fast (150-350kW) CCS chargers with 442 CHAdeMO chargers and 100 level 2 chargers. At the end...

Model 3 V2 charging curve is unlike any I have ever seen. It also begs the question of whether an owner can set the peak kW charging rate at (150?) and the session might be faster due to a different charging curve?

One question: what does the charging curve look like? Tesla may advertise 250kW rate but...this rate is early in session and will quickly taper down some where around35%SOC.

Here is a report from a Model 3 owner: Issues for me were same on Model 3. 1. Non-functional blind side indicators. 2. Adaptive cruise is Beta and lots of phantom braking and unexpected speed changes. 3. No Rear Cross Traffic Alert. 5. Lane departure alert non-functional. AutoSteer works but...

Tesla is well known for quality control issues with paint, fit and finish. Reading deeper into the Tesla forums one realizes issues with software continue. All news about Tesla isn't positive.
