they are black but you can guess that a certain demographic buys black cars and paints their home interiors black To be fair there is 24 stalls of supercharger so I could see a rivian if I really wanted to

what innovation? They are using android automotive and unreal engine. Innovation is building your own operating system using linux and your own rendering engine. it is significantly more performant to do it this way. With tesla you can run FSD, satellite navigation maps, music streaming, etc...

That article makes no sense. They claim rivian pioneered the idea of pet mode which is not correct at all. They also mention gear guard as being superior, but it is an inferior system because it does not continuous record and only records events when it detects a pedestrian. This makes no...

city population around 250K. Very little EVs but I see tesla quite a lot. mostly model 3 I went home to a place in tennessee and I saw almost no EVs other than the tesla I was driving. I did see one cybertruck and one mach e.

model X needs to go away. Model S can stay

I'm referring to different cities. Maybe the cybertruck sticks out but in the south where you see almost no EVs, the cybertruck is really obvious. Rivian has not sold many and the people that buy them are EV owners. The people buying the cybertruck are both EV owners and those who want...

how much of that is inventory? Tesla made around 400K model Ys last year and they have produced them for 4 years now. I still only see maybe 2 or 3 a day but I don't live in atlanta. In atlanta they are of course very common. They made 250K model 3s and I see hardly any refresh model 3s. I...

you just don't see them. You mostly see tesla

maybe the doctors colluded together to buy the cybertrucks, but I have seen 20-30 cybertrucks and only seen a rivian once in atlanta. I do see the rivian delivery vans because amazon uses them

one thing of note is the dr parking lot at the hospital near me it is full of EVs. Porsche, mercedes, bmw, volkswagen, tesla, etc. I think there are 3 cybertrucks alone. There is not one rivian In the south I've only ever seen a rivian once

when you're using radar it's because you don't have a strong vision system able to sense stationary objects like 99% of adas systems. What tesla is doing is not easy and therefore is not easy to replicate. Tesla is spending a lot of money on this problem. They have more than 500 highly paid...

How exactly does this gross profit work? Does rivian count all the energy credits from the year in Q4 so that Q4 shows a positive gross profit? Edit: I saw the energy credits were something like 20K per vehicle? That seems high If tesla can make the model Y refresh for $35K does that mean they...

Leasing can be free. Tesla first starts by asking site owners to PAY to have the superchargers installed as if the superchargers bring value. Then they ask for 10 years rent-free Then they offer to pay rent as the last resort but it's not the usual option as they can simply go somewhere else...

No one else is even trying. Look at the outer banks in NC. Tesla is building their 3rd supercharger while there is basically no other useful DC fast charging Rivian adventure network was built to look cool but it's not in the most useful places for road tripping

did you even read my chart? 70% is just as bad as storing at 100% from a calendar aging perspective you have to store at 50% to reduce calendar aging. if you are storing at 70% you might as well store at 90%

tesla doesn't do things to lose money. If others can't make money on the charging network, that's on them By that same token you could say all these ev manufacturers selling their vehicles for a negative gross profit is a bad thing?

when you use cheap radar to sense cars around it, they filter out stationary objects to reduce phantom braking. So anything travelling at 35mph slower than you is basically invisible. Which means a slow moving car, anything on the interstate that is stopped, etc. In fact a radar system will not...

how is the government going to handicap the rollout of a charger network? Tesla largely paid for the charging network on their own

70% SOC is actually higher because there is typically quite a generous bottom buffer The 70% that rivian recommends has no basis on reality you can indeed go higher if you have a software limited pack

you're not averaging 50% SOC, nor should you. You should limit to 50% because that is the maximum you will ever hit. If you are at 50% SOC and you plug in and your car hits 75% in 3 hrs, it just sits there all night at a high SOC? There is no logical reason to justify going to 75% for daily use...
