  1. American National Insurance experience?

    I realize that everyone has a different profile re:insurability but I pay $1100/year with State Farm for the same coverage and $500 deductible.
  2. Video: How much does it costs to charge a Rivian R1T at home for a month?

    Not sure which chargers you guys are using. I have an Autel and it does all sorts of stats, daily/monthly.
  3. Rivian now says production of 62K vehicles planned in 2023 [Update: Rivian says figure was said at internal meeting and taken out of context]

    During the December factory tour several people mentioned that 80,000 was expected production capacity for 2023. I'm guessing the lowered numbers reflect anticipated availability of parts.
  4. What are you paying to charge your Rivian?

    Hate to hijack this for my own selfish needs but here goes. We have a place up in McHenry County and I've been considering solar. How long have you had it? Who installed? Are you happy with it?
  5. Cybertruck Latest "Beta" Prototype gets up close look inside and out at Tesla Investor Day

    Seriously, is this a joke? If some random start-up introduced this as their new flagship model they wouldn't get a six-year-old to invest his piggy-bank money, let alone a seasoned investor. It almost looks worse today than when it was first introduced. It's clearly intended for a demographic...
  6. One of the biggest issues battery recyclers are facing? A supply of batteries that are end-of-life.

    Redwood says the process is viable but truly dead batteries are not yet in abundant supply: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/03/heres-what-redwood-learned-in-its-first-year-of-ev-battery-recycling/
  7. Who Hasn’t Had a Service Call?

    Have driven over 2,000 miles since our late December 2022 delivery. No issues at all.

  9. Rivian R1S on Supercar Blondie

    My wife used the wristband for approximately 36 hours then decided to stick with her phone. It's a cool idea but superfluous, as is the fob.
  10. Put 911 on speed-dial, the Cybertruck revolution is coming!

    Worst example of hype in a long time. This is the stupidest headline for what is, at best, a murky video clip of nothing in particular. Also the "bombarded by lasers" is a bit much. But I am warning you that your mind may end up being blown, so be careful...
  11. 2/22: Latest Cybertruck sighting at Tesla event

    My favorite description: "looks like a beard trimmer that plays Phil Collins songs."
  12. Sounds of Rivian: How The Vehicle Sounds Were Inspired by Nature

    I suspect that many of the sounds were equally influenced by the existence of a deadline.
  13. Electrica Meccanica

    But the wreckage (and driver) could easily fit into a standard-size grave, so you save a little money on the back end.
  14. I want the Hummer SUV !!!

    On one of our last pre-COVID European trips (France) they screwed up my rental and (after a bit of complaining) they substituted a Mercedes SUV for my smaller reserved vehicle. Joke was on me when I had some difficulty navigating some of the streets in older neighborhoods. The Mercedes was by...
  15. R1S - just one owner's thoughts at the 2 month mark

    Our R1S is my wife's daily vehicle but I've driven it as frequently as possible on the weekends. After reading all the nit-picky posts I scrutinized it on delivery for fit/finish issues and found none. It's also been free of squeaking/grinding/rattling noises. Maybe we're just lucky but it's a...
  16. Charging stations progress? Adaptors available yet?

    Level 3 is Level 3, whether they're Tesla "superchargers" or some other company - they're all DC chargers. As to whether they all work, I can't make any representation. If they're all working today I can't guarantee what their status will be in the summer. In my experience an occasional charger...
  17. Tesla to open 20% of US Superchargers to all EVs by end of 2024, qualifying company for share of billions in federal dollars

    Here's a little PR statement from the White House. Upcoming EV projects listed further down in the document...
  18. Just test drove R1S, interior trim quality/ passenger room

    I'm at a point in life where I can pretty much afford any car I could desire. I'm also at a point where I can't hyperobsess over carpet quality. While I've certainly owned vehicles with more "luxurious" interiors, my wife appreciates the animal-free nature of interior materials. Overall, I don't...
  19. Charging stations progress? Adaptors available yet?

    If you're operating on the assumption that there are no functioning chargers anywhere then why own electric in the first place. I spent my first two weeks of EV ownership relying on public L3 exclusively and while the occasional charger was out of operation I never encountered a location with no...
