If that was the plan, this was a real stupid decision. All the OEMs were on board 6 months ago. Today? I expect a lot of executive meetings discussing whether or not switching to NACS as standard for new vehicles in 2025 is actually a good idea after all. If that was the plan, he needed to...

Not really sure what you're suggesting here. The adapter doesn't give you access to the supercharger network, Tesla does. If he wants to limit access all he has to do is... limit access. It's a software thing.

I mean, respectfully, the northeast is way behind the west coast in EV uptake so it’s not surprising that you have fewer problems than California does. Hopefully by opening up superchargers and giving you basically double the number of available plugs the northeast can scale better and avoid...

The fact that you could just move stalls is really the selling point to superchargers. Most EA and EVgo stations in SoCal only have 4-6 plugs and they usually come with a decently long line of cars waiting their turn. If you route to a station only to find out that 2 plugs are down you could...

It's consistent, it just consistently sucks. Polestar has a beautifully mapped accelerator pedal for low speeds and it would be incredible if we could get that same level of finesse on the Rivian. Even after the update where they "addressed" low speed acceleration issues, it's still pretty...

It should start going out this week.

No one is expecting body style changes when they talk about a refresh here. Adventure trim goes from Bosch quad to Enduro tri-motor with the same specs and price. A new Ascent trim gets added at the top of the line with quad Enduros and >1k horsepower, blacked out trim and a couple minor...

To everyone suggesting 2 years is too fast to do a refresh - go ahead and look at how long it took Tesla to do their first minor refresh on the Model 3, where they blacked out the chrome and added a power trunk lid among a handful of other tweaks… (Spoilers: 2 years)

Which is funny, because the R1T (also) gives you zero indication of back seat passenger seat belt status as the driver. Seems like a huge unforced error on easy safety.

It's probably the metal contact behind the plastic face. Look at this one for example, how the reflection of the metal almost lines up with the center of the ground socket when viewed from this angle. If you copied a picture of it at the library 30 times in a row I can see where the L shape...

I think this is just a regular 14-50R and the thing you all think is an L at the bottom position is actually just the normal ground pin with a confusing shadow because the camera is a potato. Occam's razor. Is it more likely that this person who claims to have an EV charging receptacle...

It's unlikely to change in the short to medium term, I think. Rivian was pretty specific about not sharing customer data with Tesla, so all Tesla sees is "some Rivian is charging here" and they bill Rivian for the price and Rivian bills you. Tesla has no way to know which Rivian is charging if...

I have lived in LA for decades and you'll be happy to know that, like the vast majority of people that live in LA, I have never once been shot at lol. The suspension on the CT looks weak and flimsy though, I think if you actually think you might be going hard enough to need to do trail repairs...

800V systems range from 600 to 900 volts depending on the state of charge. It's very unlikely they would venture outside the industry norm of 800V pack architecture given the need for matching DCFC infrastructure.

So put it on the driver's rear, where I can reach it when I get out of the car. I step out of the driver's side and plug my vehicle in every. single. day. Often 2 or 3 times in a day (every time I park.) The R1 is convenient because the plug is just a single step away from the door. On the...

Personally, I like to look at the lines in the 360-view camera to make sure I'm lined up and centered in the space, since it's such a large vehicle. Reverse pulls up the cameras automatically, so it's one fewer button for me to press. In a smaller vehicle it doesn't really matter if you're...

Until Ford comes out with an electric Maverick, or Toyota an electric Taco :CWL: the R1T is still the only reasonably-sized electric pickup truck on the market, and the only one you can buy right now without a huge delay or having to deal with the greed, markups, and shady business practices of...

I park in every other stall out of habit because it’s weird to slide up right next to someone lol. Like picking the urinal right next to someone when there are other options…

The Rivian has rear fog lights, they're next to but separate from the reverse lights. Rear fogs are red, reverse lights are white. They are indeed very bright though, and should never be used except in heavy fog or snow conditions where visibility is seriously reduced (e.g. less than 100 feet)...

Moving the port to the driver rear wouldn't affect the pull-through spots too much since it would still be on the driver side, you'd just have to pull forward a bit farther. It would just make supercharging possible by reversing into the space the same as Teslas do now.
