I had Claude build a widget based on the Xcel programs and assumed range of the R2. Here's an example of charging to 8-% daily at 800 miles a month to offset range loss in the winter.
Prepping for the eventual R2 - anybody here in Minnesota using one of the Xcel Energy Accelerate options?

This will be our first EV - wondering about the value of the monthly subscription vs pay as you go:

If true, these are the kinds of behaviors that make the Rivians of the world and other audio makers think twice about building native support for third party hardware...

The previously announced Space in the Galleria Edina will hold it's grand opening May 23-24.

All of the R2's at the road shows are labelled prototypes... so dunno. I'm still trusting what I've been told directly, that they will be there... we'll see. ;)
Yup - it was brighter in tone for sure. I put 175k worry-free miles on that one.
The W8 was highly underrated in it's day. But when the Phaeton's price was squarely in A8 territory - game over.
I had two Audi A6's - Audi was, back then, lauded for what they were doing to create elegant, complex shapes stamped from single, large swaths or aluminum and steel. Which was great in practice, but was $4000 to remove dents and scratches. You shouldn't expect Honda Civic repair costs for a...
From a meteorologist posting to a Rivian group on Facebook:
“
Here's a look at the tornado path through the southern end of the Rivian Assembly plant in Normal, IL. It was an EF-1 tornado with max winds near 110 mph based on the damage survey and images. The survey found 103 mph winds at the...
