That sounds awesome, and I am amazed he took the time. That makes quite the impression. My guess is you didn't ask any of my top questions, since you weren't driving the car and mine are all about the driving experience / infotainment experience, but since you are offering, I will cut and...

My understanding is that when you configure the R1S as a 5 seater, the cargo area floor is 3 inches lower, increasing cargo area volume by those 3 inches. In reality, my guess is the number of times I will use those 3 inches in a meaningful manner is nearly 0. How often do I have cargo pressed...

I like their videos for the same reason. The focus on the end experience. For the non-car people in the world researching a new car their content is the right depth of technical information. It won't educate people and it won't please the hardcore, but that isn't the majority of car buyers.

I definitely wouldn't say that. TFL has a number of videos where they talk about loving EVs. They have had positive things to say about many of them (Tesla, VW, Mini, etc etc). I think they believe EV is the future in general and are far from anti EV. The TFL Truck sub-channel probably...

Late to the roll call here. Checking in from Portland. I just preordered about a month ago. R1S, Forest Green, Ocean Coast, off-road pack, 20in tires. If / when they offer a bigger battery on the R1S I will opt for that. Also considering the standard 21in tires, but I am put off by the weird...

Looking at 3 cars of damage, it might be closer to distracted driver for $8,000 Alex. :)

To do that I would have to sign up for twitter. Then I would need a shower :)

Yeah, at the moment there is not much in the area. I think Burns has a single Chargepoint charger and I don't think Fields has anything. Burns does have a supercharger if Tesla ever opens up that access like they have said they will. The problem is that even if Burns is built up to have...

Man that is crazy. Pretty light damage to the Rivian compared to the other vehicles. Lets just hope it wasn't the autonomous driving system. If so we are going to have some delays.

I love the TFL guys, was hoping they were at the CO event to get their take.

Just found the PNW section, so digging up an old post. I was looking in to this yesterday and was REALLY hoping for one in Fields or Burns (ideally Fields, but Burns is more likely). It is just a giant dead spot in EV charging infrastructure near some truly beautiful stuff. I have great...

Just playing devil's advocate: I don't think delivery is the big problem. It is service. I would expect the early release vehicles to have little issues that need attention. This is nearly always true of 1st model year cars, let alone a manufacturer's first car. They want early customers to...

Yes! 100 % true. However, in my experience with VW and my ID.4 the old car companies also have a hard time building out support for EVs. They definitely have the leg up in having a presence everywhere and having a building, but the people at those locations don't know much about maintaining...

The ability to not be burdened by antiquated business models is possibly the EV startup company’s biggest advantage.

Surprise! Tesla wants to over promise and under deliver for marketing purposes. I really wish they would let their very good engineering stand on its own and not play these games. Or better yet, I wish the EPA tests actually provided a relatively standard result across brands.

Hmm the idea of having a little table for camp cooking when I open the back is nice... hadn't considered. Thanks

Likely worse. Same shape, more mass to move. Better range, but worse efficiency

If the tailgate has to be closed to close the liftgate (which I agree makes sense), then I am failing to see the use case of the tailgate that justifies the extra cost / complexity over just having a liftgate.

Awesome, thanks. Interesting that I did not realize the numbers from the EPA account are not based on battery capacity, but instead based on amount of energy provided to recharge after performing the test. That makes sense as it is something they can measure, and it helps include a measurement...

My guess is by looking at the APK for the android app and seeing the resources embedded that are used by the parts of the app you only see once you have a car linked.
