  1. When will the US get true fast charging?

    I'm on the other side sir. Those are important things that exist, and likely should continue to exist. I'm afraid I can't count on your vote :D :D
  2. Elevation Change? That's got to be a record of all time!

    That looks like what happens when you turn GPS off, change locations, then turn it back on. Reporting starts before the GPS fix is updated. Once it's updated, you get wonky data like that. See it all the time on my Garmin watch. I keep GPS turned off to save hte battery. Bored on an airplane I...
  3. When will the US get true fast charging?

    If policy shouldn't drive changes in consumer buying trends; then things like farm/crop subsidies shouldn't exist. Or drug price controls. or right to repair laws. Or import tariffs. or minimum wage laws. All of those directly affect consumer purchasing trends. The premise of a truly free market...
  4. Buttons on steering wheels

    My Q7 had this setup. Hands Down (pun intended) the best at navigating the screen controls. Period. Full Stop. That knob in the red circle there would not just click and rotate, it would also slide up/down and Left/Right. Was super intuitive to use, and required very little movement from...
  5. When will the US get true fast charging?

    I love this take. The premise of charging "while you're doing something else" is really great. It reduces both instant demand on the grid for fast charging, and completely negates the charge time conundrum. Also allows for you to "come in hot" to the last stop of the day, likely eliminating a...
  6. When will the US get true fast charging?

    The value proposition is driven by the consumer, and I agree it's on manufacturers to provide compelling products. The incentivizing of consumers to move on a particular industry is driven by policy and investment, in particular in emerging markets. We're quite backwards in this aspect...
  7. When will the US get true fast charging?

    I think he was talking on a global scale. And while all of his examples point towards China, there are other countries. Norway is a great example of mass market adoption. I also agree that the US, on a global scale, is far more backward looking than forward looking regarding EV's.
  8. IONNA is holding meetups at Rechargeries tomorrow, February 7th (2026)

    AMEN to that. Works like a gas pump. I used one in Northern OH near Cleveland back in November. Worked as advertised. Speed wasn't anything to write home about, but I pulled up, plugged in, got electrons, and didn't have to fiddle with an app, a credit card, adapter, or anything. It just...
  9. 2026.03 Update Pushed! Now Installing

    OOOO.....AWD lock finally coming?!?! That would be nice.
  10. Is it OK to keep the height setting low when driving around town?

    Same. Kneel wasn't low enough to allow me to exit without "sliding" across the seat. I bought the super cheap EVBase boards. They're hot garbage products in terms of metal quality, appearance and durability.....BUT.....They hold my weight and work as a step. If I get 3 seasons out of them I'll...
  11. No heat while driving, heat while sitting - G1 R1T

    Well, almost 2 months later I finally got an answer. Got this text from a service tech after they went through the truck in detail over the heat not working. Good news is that the only time the heat doesn't work is during the really really cold times. SO, you know, when I arguably need it the...
  12. $2500 Autonomy+ one time purchase now an option on Rivian configurator

    Will they let you "month to month" it multiple times like that? I know Tesla does for it's membership to Superchargers.
  13. Official: Scout EV SUV & Pickup debut w/ Gas Range Extender EREV, 4x4, BOF, Lockers, Sway Bar Disconnect -- All Specs, Wallpapers, Videos

    My lease is up Sept of '27, so nearly the same as you. I'm worried the timing won't work out right, and I'll be stuck. PLUS, watching resale on G1 Rivians, has me thinking of waiting a few years to get a used one.
  14. Official: Scout EV SUV & Pickup debut w/ Gas Range Extender EREV, 4x4, BOF, Lockers, Sway Bar Disconnect -- All Specs, Wallpapers, Videos

    Agreed. That's a really good looking spec. I'll take the pure EV version instead of the EREV version, but otherwise where do I sign up?
  15. Official: Scout EV SUV & Pickup debut w/ Gas Range Extender EREV, 4x4, BOF, Lockers, Sway Bar Disconnect -- All Specs, Wallpapers, Videos

    Yea, I watch that channel quite often. I didn't finish this episode because of the "brochure" style vibes it was giving off. Oh well. Neat truck. Interested to see where it goes.
  16. $2500 Autonomy+ one time purchase now an option on Rivian configurator

    Personal opinion.....this should be standard with even the Gen 1 trucks. There are ZERO technical reasons that it won't work. As best I can tell, it's only held back because lawyers, accountants, or management just simply doesn't want it to exist. Hell my '17 Q7 had adaptive cruise while...
  17. Spotify on Rivian interrupting Spotify on other devices?

    Wife and I fought this battle when I first got the Rivian. Had Spotify on my account in the living room, then had it in the truck as well. Two things solved it. First, she got her own account and we moved to the family plan. THEN, I put the truck on it's own account as well. Now the whole family...
  18. The best and worst vehicle to move with. [RANDOM RANT]

    Zero arguements there. Second time in two years. It absolutely sucks.
