Here is what Gemini says:
Charging an EV battery with NMC chemistry to 100% occasionally does not significantly impact its lifespan. The negative effects are primarily associated with holding the battery at a high state of charge for extended periods.
100% Charging and Battery Degradation

FWIW, I say if you go on a trip and need 100% then charge to 100%, that is why it is there. When I am heading out for a trip I charge to 85% the day before and then set the vehicle to charge to 100% starting at 6 hours or so before I am scheduled to leave. That keeps it fully charged for only an...
I did an 1,100 mile road trip this week. I signed up for membership on my way out ($13). Used 220 kwh along the way (other charging was free Walmart and free RAN). Saved just under $40 on Tesla. Canceled membership three days later. Still runs through end of 30 day period. Sign up one month at...
Going from 80% and discharging to 60% then recharging to 80% is 0.2 cycles. Doing that every day for a year is 73 cycles. Doing it for 20 years will get you to 1,500 cycles.
Helpful reminder:
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (MMWA) prevents automobile original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) from denying warranty coverage simply because a customer uses a third-party device or part, such as an EV charging adapter that converts from a North American Charging Standard...
I get it, my dogs think my Rivian is a robotruck. They get in and - after an excellent wind-blowing-in-your-face ride out the window - it magically arrives at a different place. The dogs are always amazed and excited to "go for a ride" whenever they can. It is basically the same behavior I see...
We were just up in Yellowstone all last week (fly in rent a pos Hyundai with poj CarPlay, story for a different day). We saw three Rivians visiting. One guy (maybe on here?) with an R1T drove in from Iowa. Also two R1S.
We stayed at the Canyon Lodge and noted there were at least two L2...
If I were spending your money, I would go with the GV90. I think it is a beauty and it has all the right specs. And since it's your money, I do not mind the price tag.

To me, it would look more proportional to have a an additional 2 inches. The 9.8 inch clearance is fine but a little more on water fording depth would be helpful and matters to me. At 69 inches, it is an inch shorter than the Bronco Sport. I'm sure some combination of after market stuff will...
I was hoping for this: “Fixed a not-so-rare condition of drivers whining about somebody somewhere getting something they did not get even when they get one of their most requested features.” Unfortunately no such luck. Maybe next time!
