Maybe from your perspective, but the OP had felt like he was part of this community even if he wasn't all that active. That speaks to how much of a sense of community we've built here and how meaningful this little corner of the interwebs is for so many people. That is to say until you showed...

I need an R3x version of this bumper sticker and I'm in.

Ears perk up. Flashes back to the beat down he received from the forum arguing against switching to the NACS standard because of many reasons including EM being a loon... Pulls out his scorecard...

Amen. In the immortal words of Bill Murray:

It's hard to trash something that's already trash. I kid. I kid. I have seen folks with Tesla's that have stickers on them that say something like "I bought this before Elon Musk went crazy" or something to that effect. I feel bad for anyone who bought a Tesla because they believed in...

You are exhausting and I'm done wasting my time. You seem to reinvent new goalposts every time you post. Where did I say Rivian should exclusively be building EREV's? They have an opportunity through their partnership with VW to contribute to an EREV design and for all we know, they already...

Your post had so much potential, until you decided to tank it with this statement. There is no universe where an EREV is worse than a traditional Hybrid Electric Vehicle. HEV's have 2 drivetrains with redundancy that isn't efficient. An EREV has only one drivetrain - electric, with an ICE...

You are arguing against yourself. 70% of consumers who were introduced to the concept of the Scout preferred the EREV. One of the ways VW, I mean Scout, is going to base their production volumes is on consumer preference and by giving people the opportunity to express that preference with a...

You seem to rely on AI results for all of your responses. AI results are extremely suspect. If I wanted to argue with AI, I'd start a conversation with Chat GPT. I am going to repeat the same thing over and over again. Scout received tens of thousands of reservations and the OVERWHELMING...

Feds need to stop penalizing people for purchasing an EV and start incentivizing. You know how they can make up for lost gas tax revenue? Stop subsidizing oil and gas companies to the tune of $50B dollars a year when they already rake in record profits without them. I'm really tired of hearing...

Again, more noise. The battery pack is the most expensive part of the EV. OEMs are incorporating smaller battery packs and adding an ICE generator to reduce overall cost to bridge the gap between the range a very large an expensive battery pack would provide and a smaller battery pack and...

The article I quoted was a direct refute of your assertion that nowhere has it been written that an EREV is designed to reduce cost by reducing the size of the battery. You seemed to have skipped over that inconvenient fact. I have never engaged in a discussion about towing. The rest of your...

You are grasping at straws. Who mentioned anything about a towing advantage? Let me repeat this again. The overwhelming majority of Scout reservations were for the EREV model. You make money by selling what consumers want. When consumers speak, companies should listen. There is a market...

Sometimes what's obvious to most isn't obvious to some. Good luck with that. "However, one way to cut down on that cost would be to reduce the battery pack size, creating a vehicle that could still travel a good range emissions-free but would save weight and cost over a fully electric model."...

Nothing in this post makes one lick of sense. The point of an EREV is to reduce the size of the battery because that is the most expensive component of an EV. A bigger battery means LESS efficiency. Reducing the battey and delegating it to the 90% use case size which is much smaller than...

Hell yeah! Those were the days.

Color matched wheels. Distinctive Light Bar up front. Steering wheel with lots of actual buttons. Wide wheelbase. Screams badass. This Dune SE has got major 93 Pontiac Grand Prix SE vibes baby! My first love and I miss that thing. Power antenna and a button on the steering wheel to advance...

Thanks for making clear EREVS are 100% electric propulsion. Who is arguing that? Your assertion that EREVs are an unnecessary crutch doesn't match with the reality of EV adoption and the political landscape. The goal needs to be to reduce carbon emissions. EREVs give an EV hesitant consumer...

It depends on how efficient the generator is. Has RAM said if they are designing it from the ground up to be a generator or repurposing an ICE they already have in a product line? Maybe I missed that. Also, you wouldn't run the generator at 75% SOC for most use cases, only towing. And a...

As I have said many times - Rivian needs to explore EREV vehicles using the ICE platform developed by VW/SCOUT and that is how this partnership can fully benefit both parties. EREVS are the future until battery technology can get smaller, lighter, denser, safer, and cheaper - probably 10 years...
