  1. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    We were the first to get an EV in the family back in 2017 (used model S). Since then, the rest of the family has joined. Nothing like riding in an EV to get it.
  2. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    Makes sense. Also depends where one lives too. The iX3 range and fast charging sure hits a sweet spot though.
  3. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    Seems to me that charging anxiety should be alleviated quite a bit in next couple years between Ionna, Walmart and Tesla v4 chargers. Did a road trip to Moab a couple years ago that sucked due to EA performance. I am going back this spring and there are 2 new Tesla SC, 2 Ionna stations and a...
  4. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    End of the day, it's more infrastructure anxiety than range anxiety.
  5. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    I live in CA and previously drove a Tesla, which required almost zero planning. It's a bit more cumbersome on long road trips in the Rivian but that's about to disappear.
  6. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    I get the sales pitch for newbies. Us EV OGs understand don't have that range anxiety, especially with the growing charging infrastructure. EREV are a compromise whose only plus is to promise folks that they will never run out of battery range. In the last 100,000+ miles of BEV driving, that...
  7. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    It's definitely not the best of both worlds. Hello oil change, smog test, maintenance and gas station fill ups. No thank you. We got a dual max performance R1S. It has all the range I need. For me the perfect EV needs 400 miles of range and 15 mins fast charge 10-80. The Cayenne EV seems...
  8. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    EREV suck unless you really need the range. No more frunk, going to a gas station, oil change, cat converter will be stolen because they're barely used and full of expensive metals. But, if it gets people used to EVs then it's awesome.

    Went downhill quickly
  10. Rivian software is (still) an embarrassment and needs to get better fast before R2

    Phone unlock is a bit random in my experience. OTOH, the new wallet key works perfectly every time on gen 2.
  11. Turning in my 2024 Gen 1 R1S, looking for a used R1S

    Yes, but as a 25 model year. We have a 22 R1T and a 2025 R1S. Gen2 tech is much nicer
  12. Turning in my 2024 Gen 1 R1S, looking for a used R1S

    Didn't gen2 start in 2025?
  13. Rivian software is (still) an embarrassment and needs to get better fast before R2

    Won't read all 8 pages, but kneel mode doesn't work if parked on an incline. Otherwise, works fine but not very quickly.

    I don't really need megawatt charging but I would love the new Cayenne charge rate. 15 mins 10-80 is the sweet spot. Just long enough to pee and/or get coffee. I don't have a need for 5mns charging. I believe that the Cayenne has dual cooling plates which allows a higher and longer charge...

    We have 2 jilted owners on this thread
  16. NY to Tahoe with 13YR Adventure Dog

    Perfect timing. Starting to snow in the Sierra finally.
