  1. Standard and Standard+ battery packs introduced; R1T and R1S base prices dropped (2/8/24)

    Assuming that range rating for standard+ and large pack use the same methodology/derating coefficient, it should be about a 120KWh battery. $6k price reduction for less than $2500 reduction in battery cost seems odd. I am wondering if they're playing games with the EPA range like they did with...
  2. Standard and Standard+ battery packs introduced; R1T and R1S base prices dropped (2/8/24)

    We got an R1T at pre price hike and that was a great deal. At current price, QM and large pack are a stiff premium. DM and standard+ are going to be the configuration that everyone gets. With NACS, that's most likely our Tesla replacement.
  3. Standard and Standard+ battery packs introduced; R1T and R1S base prices dropped (2/8/24)

    Holly crap, that's a $3k price increase for large and max. Max is now wildly overpriced.
  4. Standard and Standard+ battery packs introduced; R1T and R1S base prices dropped (2/8/24)

    Was perusing Rivian site looking at lease prices and just discovered this. Good summary by @MidnightRivian ? Rivian R1S base price dropped to $74,900 for Adventure Package. The configurator now includes a 315 mile battery pack called Standard+ for $3,100. Now you can configure one with 315+...
  5. What's your R2 predictions?

    300 miles, dual motor at $50k would be nice. That is most likely a stretch. SUV will be less aero than an equivalent model Y, and therefore will require more batteries. Would buy one at $60K with 100KWh batteries that can go over 300 miles at hwy speed. Also guessing that off-road...
  6. RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

    Anyone pass by Groveland on their way to Yosemite lately? It was announced 18 months ago.
  7. BMW: EV’s are Dead, buy Hydrogen Fuel Cells Vehicles

    As batteries improve, the number of use cases for hydrogen will decrease in transportation. Solid state batteries will happen at some point
  8. BMW: EV’s are Dead, buy Hydrogen Fuel Cells Vehicles

    Hydrogen overall energy efficiency from production to motoring a car is a fraction of BEVs. Plus, I highly doubt that people want to have an explosive hydrogen refueling station in their midst. Not gonna happen. Why BMW is chasing this is weird. Anyway, not buying a Tesla so that one...
  9. Cybertruck: Aero-covers that go over tires are a bad idea. Who knew?

    Pretty clear that it was a bit rushed out the door. It'll be interesting to see how it evolves over the next couple years
  10. Out of Spec's Kyle gets over 450 miles from a new Porsche Taycan prototype

    Taycan gen 2 is going to be the road trip king, provided that it can find the right chargers.
  11. Out of Spec's Kyle gets over 450 miles from a new Porsche Taycan prototype

    Good for him if it's true, in which case he should really do whatever he wants.
  12. Out of Spec's Kyle gets over 450 miles from a new Porsche Taycan prototype

    Why would he? His income increases with length of videos.
  13. My New RIS Review (First 1k miles)

    Cameras do suck. That's annoying
  14. RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

    Actually I think it's next to the Whoa Nellie Deli place which is great. It's only open from April to October though.
  15. Rivian crushed by tree in California storm

    I believe that the exception is if the owner knows that tree is sick and doesn't deal with it. Seems like it would tough to prove
  16. Rivian crushed by tree in California storm

    My understanding, from a neighbor who lost his car to a fallen tree, is that full coverage covers tree damage. Furthermore, tree owner is not responsible for the damage.
  17. Elon’s $55Billion Tesla pay package voided [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / INSULTS].

    What is the root of the issue? The lack of negotiations or that shareholders were misled? If misled, how was that misleading? Too lazy to read the judge decision. Package is only huge in retrospect. Back then, almost no one expected most of those milestones to be met.
