I tried to look at some of the more popular brands with models that would max-out Rivian's onboard charger (or come close). Unfortunately I couldn't get a perfect apples-apples comparison across brands but I think there is still some interesting data here. In particular the efficiency of the new...

There's been much lamenting over the demise of physical controls in automobiles of late. While I fully appreciate the benefits from an auto mfr's perspective, it really isn't optimal from a UX perspective. The auto industry, which usually lags well behind tech trends in portable electronics, is...

I seem to recall RJ stating that he was confident in Rivian's ability to source battery cells. Hopefully they won't encounter the same problem as Mercedes. https://ww.electrek.co/2020/01/23/mercedes-benz-cuts-eqc-electric-suv-production-target-in-half-battery-shortage-report/
