Same boat here. Those two options are awesome, but pricey. With the amount I camp, I could buy a high quality portable induction burner and just plug it in to one of the outlets as the poor mans camp kitchen. If I car camped every other weekend I would definitely get both. As it is, even...

As you said, I 100% believe they are looking at the data, I just would assume the most likely thing is to get data about their current "production" build to verify it. Testing new, more experimental options would be better with their engineers more closely involved.

Can we add an option of "I don't care so long as this poll stops this from being discussed in every single thread"?

They have their own testing program. If they were testing different curves they would do so with their engineers and testers doing so, with full on diagnostic equipment riding along and hooked in. Again, in my mind, not super plausible.

I'd be surprised if they bothered to change the software for her. With the ability to fast charge nightly, they didn't need to do so in order to keep her topped off. Risking thermal problems in the dessert by mucking with their tested charging curve has little benefit. The much more likely...

It is what the car is capable of. That is what we want to know. Hopefully charging networks improve such that they are more consistent

By my math that is 27 minutes to go from 20 to 80%, which using the EPA’s 314 mile range would add 188 miles of range. And that is assuming a constant 180kw. It almost definitely is faster at the low end of the curve.

It is definitely possible. All of the VW group EV's do this with the brake pedal. You can disable lift off regen (or turn it lower with paddle shifters in the case of the more expensive models). When you press the brake pedal it uses regen braking until a certain deacceleration threshold...

In my ID.4 there is a visual indication of the amount of regen breaking available. I noticed it for the first time a few weeks ago after charging to full up in the mountains before driving home for 4 hours. The first 20 minutes were all downhill and I noticed there was no regen and the visual...

There is a difference between people doing that, and that being a financial move the government should incent with taxpayer dollars.

Compares keeping an existing ICE to buying an EV. I find this guys content pretty solid

Warning: long rambling response There is a good argument for this, especially on the demand side. If you look at Tesla's pricing, they clearly just charged more when the incentives applied and lowered price when it didn't. They sold all they could make either way. Many expect that their...

I think the current proposed limit is 400k for an individual. That is the 99th percentile in the US. so it impacts very few people. Not no one, but very few. The vehicle price limits are the much more restrictive part of the proposal.

In the current proposal it is basically just on car price. The income limits are so high as to impact nearly no one.

I 100% agree with this. In the world we have today where all decent cars have a wait list, most of the benefit of these credits go to manufactures, not buyers. That stinks, but at least it still subsidizes the development of EV technology by these companies

To those saying there should be no price or income caps: In a vacuum the argument makes sense. You want more EVs, so discount them all. However, if you approach the problem assuming there is a limited amount of money then you want the biggest bang for the taxpayer buck spent. In general, the...

I bet it has nothing to do with money from Amazon. It simply has to be with them wanting a walled garden that only their stuff lives in. They keep control over the UX and get you used to using their tools, probably to support a monthly subscription fee.

There is a chance that the added weight is partially offset by smoothing out more of the underbody and improving aerodynamics. We just don’t know at this point.

Reports of reliability/ quality concerns from people who take shipments before me Another EV SUV that can handle some light off-road action hitting the market that is cheaper, has better infotainment, and/or has physical buttons for climate control. Poor navigation / music / text integration...

1 & 2: personal preference, but reasonable advantages 3 also true but the truck is so big that it won’t fit on some trails at all. 4. Seems like a gimmic. How many people do you know who have a window shattered at all in their car. Personally I view this as useless 5. 100% valid. Rivian won’t...
