Well you might want to find a new next EV. Not sure scout ever makes it to market.

It is, just still in batches.

Gets rolled out in waves over the course of a couple of weeks.

I think they are talking about the free charging on DCFC stations like EA that manufactures use as an incentive to buy an EV. Not L2 free charging.

So had any EV figured out how to use plug and charge with subscriptions? Seems like it only works if it's the same company, i.e. Tesla to Supercharger or Rivian to RAN. Seems to be kind of a miss that you can't get a charging subscription and have plug and charge.

There is zero chance I would ever sit at a charging station and not be charging. I find that extremely inconsiderate and very annoying. Doesn't matter if the station is full or empty, it's still inconsiderate. I realize I might be in the minority though.

Really wish there would have been gas station idle fees. Nothing more anointing than waiting in line at a truck stop while people are done fueling and go inside the convenience store for 20 min while still parked at the pump.

That's exactly why I want one. Really really miss my 2000 3rd Gen 4Runner.

Maybe the speculation that the gas engine wasn't powerful enough for towing was correct and they need to fit a large generator in there. I assume they want to make everything else the same between the EV and EREV, that could be why they aren't just working on the EV version first.

25% battery degradation after 10 years is a bit extreme. I'd expect maybe 10%-15% if that. Rivian's batteries have show very little degradation on the R1s so far.

And that's why I'm not trading in my R1T yet. Eventually I think we get there. According to some reports it seems like BMW is getting closer except for maybe towing.

Here are my next vehicle requirements to replace my R1T. 400+ miles of range 350+kW charging 6000+ lbs towing R2 size with similar features $50k price

Seems like Rivian isn't that interested in expanding their network much anymore. At this rate Ionna is going to pass RAN in number of locations and they just opened a bit over a year ago.

None taken. I"m not the type of person to put cost above all else. I used to support my local gas station even though they were more expensive than a mile down the street. Just not worth it to me. And I'll do the same with RAN. If there is one available I will use it to support Rivian.

Ok good for you. I will pay a bit higher to keep helping out Rivian. An extra few bucks doesn't make a huge difference.

You didn't mention cost at all in your original post. And you are not forced to use Tesla then, you choose to use them to save money. You can just as easily use RAN if you wanted to.

Only time I would consider using and ICE car again would be for towing. Everything else I do an EV is a much better road trip car.

Ummmm what? Yes Tesla has the biggest charging network in the country. And the most reliable. Why are you asking Rivian to do better? Charging networks should the viewed separately from their cars. Not every EV maker has their own charging network so don't expect RAN to be the same as the...

I much rather road trip in an EV these days. It's so much more relaxing.

why not just turn it off at home?
