I just found that with Daily set to say 12am-6am, if you have a charging session that started on a weekend that does not complete by 6am on Monday that it will continue to charge past 6am. It's kind of unbelievable how dumb of an implementation of scheduled charging they've implemented here...

I was using Navigation, but was in an area that I know very well and don't need to hear the voice instructions and the associated dropouts of playing music. So when a voice instruction came, I manually lowered the volume to zero via the scroll wheel. This appeared to show a muted icon on the...

That's precisely what the OP did in their calculations by running scenarios with different NPV discount rates.

If you use weekdays it will charge from 12am-6am on weekdays and will charge all 24 hours on weekends If you use daily it will follow whatever schedule you put in all 7 days of the week. You could put 12am-6am, or 12am-2pm, or any other schedule you choose. What you cannot do is have a...

You can use either Daily or Weekdays, not both.

That one's really confusing. NJ went from having no extra reg fee and NO SALES TAX on EVs to having both an extra reg fee and sales tax. Quite the policy reversal.

There are taxes on my electricity bill that are calculated based on the amount of electricity I consume, even though they don't go towards maintaining the electric infrastructure. There are other "delivery charges" that are also calculated based on how much electricity I consume, but those go...

Of course, but what is the tax on electricity going to fund? If it's funding anything other than strictly investments that help to provide future electricity, then someone is now collecting more tax revenue than they otherwise would have collected when a gas car owner that currently pays the...

Any reason you can't just use that exact website with the Rivian dashcam videos? All the website does is synchronize the playing of local files on your sytem.

True. But you usually only really care about efficiency on road trips. Driving around town then parking your car for 12 hours and charging it day after day, efficiency rarely matters. Tires affect efficiency while driving on the road where it really matters, vampire drain does not.

Thanks for posting an update. Glad your trip went well!

Thanks. I'm sure I would have found it eventually, but your help allowed me to find it more quickly! IMHO, swiping up from the bottom of the screen is a non-intuitive place to find things like this. And IMHO again, charging should just be another item in the settings menu. And IMHO for...

The times its very high in the green are the times when you are going from driving speed and are approaching a red traffic light that you coast or regen towards to stop. It's essentially meaningless information.

Yep it absolutely is absurd. But that's what you get when you're borrowing an average of ~$90k for 3 years at 7.8% interest. Remember that if you pay cash instead of lease, then you gave Rivian ~$100k that you could have had invested in bank account of stock/funds instead.

Nope. Just do the math. Depreciation and rent are two entirely different concepts, and calculated independently. The depreciation in the above example is $38,884 ($110,200 - $71,316). $38,884 * 7.8%(your formula) is $3032. The proper way to calculate the monthly rent charge is...

Probably just a holdover from how finance worked before we had massive computing power available everywhere. But realistically do you think anyone can conclusively determine that 3 years from now the car's value would be 63.4% instead of 63.6%? Whole numbers have fine enough precision for...

The way leases are calculated is made up of 2 parts, a depreciation charge and a rent charge. They are calculated as follows: 1) (Purchase price(technically gross capitalized cost) MINUS residual) / # of months. That's the monthly depreciation charge. Think of this as you paying monthly the...

Having previously owned a Tesla, I agree that the Tesla energy graph is MUCH more useful. But I think the main reason is that the Tesla graph's x-axis is miles whereas the Rivian graph's x-axis is time(minutes). Looking at the Rivian graph seeing times when I'm getting 4mi/kwh is like WOW, I...

Just want to let you know of two minor corrrections here: 1. The MSRP is actually $113,200, it's calculated as vehicle price($111,400) + destination charge($1,800). The residual is calculated as a percentage of that MSRP. And with a residual of $71,316 and an MSRP of $113,200 you get a 63%...

Does Rivian actually address any issues upfront at time of delivery? Seems like only options offered to me were either to reject delivery or accept delivery and schedule a service request to have them addressed.
