It really depends on when you engage the generator. If you start on a full battery and engage the generator at say 75% SOC you should be able to keep up with generating enough charge to keep the battery topped up. If you are turning on the generator at a low state of charge, say 15% then you...

Pay the man! This is shameful and the worst of both worlds. A V6 for an EREV? The ICE needs to be lean and green and optimized as a generator that can operate in a very narrow or even fixed RPM range since it has no demands for propulsion. This is deeply disappointing, lazy engineering...

For anyone complaining about "tocking" in the R1T/R1S you need to watch (and listen) to this video and you'll feel much better....

The Scout CEO is a clown and I wanted to just wipe that smirk off his face. So easy for these clueless figureheads to take credit for other people's work. You have one job, and that is to sell the concept and not annoy the sh*t out of people, Scott. Meanwhile - he's acting like they invented...

The Cheeto is too dumb to be a nazi. He couldn't even come up with his own slogan.

Or we start closing tax loopholes that allow billionaires like Musk to pay almost nothing in taxes while most americans whose primary income comes from wages are paying their fare share.

You are 100% correct that our nation and the people who rely on the services and agencies that DOGE is attempting to dismantle will ultimately suffer. All of us in the federal government are on pins and needles right now and someone who wasn't elected by the people or confirmed by our...

@JeromePowell From one federal worker to another - EM and Tesla can F***k all the way off. While I'm waiting for the R3/R3x I will be using EA charging since my other EV right now is a GV60 and Genesis gave me 3 years of unlimited 30 minute charging sessions. EA has been absolute ? ...

The only way to make autonomous driving safe, reliable, and efficient, is to remove humans from the equation entirely. We are the worst and when you mix us in - it creates chaos. That is why promises of autonomous driving have and will continue to be the biggest scam in the automotive world...

Mostly the CCS2 is an updated design with the ability to handle higher amperage and faster DC charging rates. The pin/plug design is also more robust.

Critical part of the article: "I asked Loren McDonald, chief analyst at Paren, what his thoughts were on this latest cancellation, and he, among others (myself included), doesn’t think the FHWA has the authority to stop the NEVI program with a memo – it would need a change in law from Congress...

That's because CCS(2) is the world standard. You don't hear the rest of the world b*tching and moaning about CCS - because when everyone agrees to use one standard, and they actually make the system user friendly to use, it actually works.

...or lots of owners that still have problems are spending their lives not in forums but complaining to whoever will listen. I feel like forums are capturing a fraction of the vehicle owning population in general. To your point however, people are incentivized to complain when things go wrong...

Ugh. Glad you were able to get in before the appointment time. Hopefully they don't have to replace the entire drive unit - but if they do, hopefully you aren't without your R1 for too long.

Honestly, $125 is nothing for OEM. As long as it is good quality.

Not sure why you think this has less power? Mountain rescue doesn't really cover much distance on a given day. This is a concept for a very niche use case. You can't assess the utility of this vehicle by whether you'd be able to daily drive it to Piggly Wiggly...

Ugh. It was inevitable that one day that would yank the factory tour but it is a sad day nonetheless. Does anyone know if that means you can't take delivery in Normal anymore or only that you don't get a factory tour option if you do.

Don't EVs have a port to charge the battery? The difference between a plug-in hybrid and a REV battery electric vehicle is that a plug-in hybrid has two propulsion systems - one driven by an ICE and one driven by a battery and electric motor. A REV only has one propulsion system - electric...

REVs are not plug in hybrids. My reading of the WSJ article is he was referencing plug-in hybrids. REVs are electric vehicles with electric propulsion that feature an efficient ICE serving only as a generator to recharge the battery. Given that VW via Scout Motors is making an investment in...

I would personally love to see VW and RIvian work together on REVs. Can you imagine a REV R1T that can go 600 miles or 300 miles towing? You don't have to blow up the size of the battery and then you are only using the ICE when you go on a roadtrip or are towing. VW is already on record...
