I would love nothing more than an Apple partnership or merger, buuuuut, Rivianās OS is android based. Unfortunately, an Apple partnership would require an entire re-tooling for Rivian.
IF Elon Musk is shopping Tesla, and thatās a mighty big IF, Iād put the Chinese ahead of Apple. Heās been showing a lotta leg recently to the Chinese government. Then again, this is the same guy who overpaid $45 billion for a social media company that heās pounding into the ground. Heās a loon...
My experience with my ā22 Volvo XC90 Recharge has been that the battery that came with the vehicle is a 20 mile charge. The new Volvos have a 40 mile battery. When I asked about a swap out, I was told that the size and shape were proprietary for each battery, eliminating the possibility of a...
Several of the commenters here have already alluded to it, but in ten years, battery tech will be vastly different than it is now. And like the astronomical costs for a minor crash repair on Rivianās now, the replacement batteries will factor in the software and hardware concerns for each...
Elon Musk ONCE AGAIN, shows us exactly where his priorities are and itās not with his customers. His tantrums and erratic decision making are why the board needs to remove this guy.
Yes, Iāve noticed those two issues as well. Also, has anyone else noticed that when playing music from your iPhone via Bluetooth in your R1T or R1S, that one of the stereo channels doesnāt come through? That itās just not balanced?

Our āother carā is a Volvo XC90 Recharge that has a charging cord. We have a 240v outlet in our garage and we use that Volvo cord and 40amp outlet to charge either car at home. Is this ok? It seems to work just fine as a level 2 charger, but Iām all ears. Am I missing something ? Does it really...

Iām certain that Tesla is making money hand over fist on their charging network anyway, from the existing Tesla owners. Factoring in the higher prices Elon is charging the rest of us, itās clear to me that the vehicles are just the beginning of his profit center; think razor-razor blades...
Has anyone gotten their Lectron adapter for Tesla superchargers, yet? Are they manufacturing them yet? Is there a shipping date? Lectron hasnāt been the best communicator for those of us whoāve ordered from them.
