Got my R1T a couple months ago but that primarily came about because we purchased a Q5 hybrid for my wife a couple years ago. Upon getting her Q5 she primarily only used electric power as most of her trips are local (works from home, 5 miles to the gym, grocery store, etc.) she grew to hate...
Given it sounds like you are not going to do it yourself, your best bet is going to be to find a car wash that does hand washes. Not sure where you are located but they're fairly easy to find in my neck of the woods. I would absolutely not take it through an automatic car wash and by no means...
I took a chance and purchased a EV Cube charger from Amazon as it was capable of charging at 50A and used a 14/50 which I already had installed in my garage on a 50A breaker. Upon further review it has to be hardwired to charge at 50, plugged in it charges at 40A. Not a big deal and may...
Great responses from everyone. As I mentioned I pretty much deduced it was a moot point when I posted this. Love hearing the different perspectives though. Sport Mode all the time it is! LOL. I think my primary use case may be towing my Jet Ski's.
I looked at several of theirs before I landed mine. They had a silver one with ocean coast that I looked at frequently but never ended up contacting them on it. Probably saw yours.
I live in the land of Houston Texas where every trip is typically 20 miles plus of mostly freeway driving. For example going to work is 19 miles of highway, my family visits on the weekends are 30 and 35 plus, my golf outings are usually at least 20 miles and again mostly highway. In theory I...
subtract your trade in value from the total lease price of the Rivian pre tax. Multiply that by 6.25%. The difference would be your tax savings by trading in. If you can sell it outright for more than the difference go that route.
Exactly what Electruck said. You've paid taxes they were just rolled into the payment. So either pay up front = lower monthly payment or roll them in = higher monthly payment. Same thing at the end of the day.
Great info for when I do take my first road trip. Less is more I see. This session was really to just test out the adapter. Thanks again for all of the great responses. Good group on here
Thanks for the replies, I definitely expected derating, just didn't expect that much at less than 80% SOC. Granted this was not only my first time using a Tesla charger this was only my second time level 3 charging period. I should have checked the dashboards in service mode to see what my...
I don't disagree with you on OEM's as a whole but it's most of them at this point. I mentioned it in another thread but I had to pay $35 a month to have LTE a working Nav period (let alone satalite view) and the use of Google Assistant. Granted it had AA/Car Play but not being able use native...
Rivian isn't the only automaker where satelite map view is behind a pay wall. Audi I believe was the first and when our trial in my wifes Q5 ended we no longer had it. Hell the GMC Sierra I just traded in for my Rivian requires you to purchase a subscription to use Google Nav period! You're...
I'm going on 4 weeks with my R1T (first EV) and while it takes some getting used to I did quickly. So much so that driving my car or my wifes SUV I find myself yearning for 1 pedal capability.
Received my A2Z Tyhoon Pro the other day and went to test it out yesterday. Plugged it in to the truck connected the CCS cable and within 20 seconds it was charging. I was at 14%SOC and it quickly ramped up to 204kwh. I proceeded to start playing with the new haloween costumes among other...
