Well, I'd definitely be considering one. Or I should say my wife would be punching me in the kidneys if I didn't. We already have one Wrangler.

Not bad looking but I'd rather have the yellow trim,,,,,,, and the quad motors it comes with.

I think Rivian was caught a little flat footed on the rush of NACS adoption news. At this point they are probably look at how it helps or hurts their strategic plans with the R1/R2 and RAN. I do believe they'll build out RAN with NACS but I don't think we'll get an announcement until late '23 at...

Happy to see you got yours back. If my truck is repaired, it will be a VERY expensive repair. The entire driver's side has to be replaced along with the tailgate, bed floor, rear bumper area, etc., etc. But that doesn't count the unseen damage, which likely includes the frame. Definitely the...

Definitely! Though I will say I’ve had SOME decent experiences with Avis. The Midway airport Avis is pretty good, as is Dallas Love. But St. Louis is horrendous.

Mine was doing this too. Rivian sent a tech to my house and he replaced the entire unit. I like the Gorilla Glue idea. I think the problem is their adhesive gets weakened by heat. I normally keep my R1T in the garage (when it isn’t at the collision center) but it started separating when I left...

Minor update: Almost two weeks in and no repair estimate or declaration of a total loss. Nationwide, for it’s part is communicating well at this point. The collision shop is simply full of cars and doesn’t have room to start the tear down of my truck. I believe this to be true. I was at the...

Before you consider an oversized tent, you need to find out how much of it’s length can be unsupported. I had an iKamper Xcover that extended some 30” past the rear crossbar. iKamper recommends that this be no more than 25” or the honeycomb aluminum could buckle when someone is in the tent. I...

I think we’re looking at EVs for personal transport but hydrogen will play a role in heavy industry, aviation, and maybe long haul trucking. I‘m pretty sure short haul trucking can be covered even with current BEV tech. The real issue with hydrogen is that it’s made mostly from fossil fuels and...

IF Toyota can successfully bring this to market it definitely close the use case gap that justifies ICE based vehicles. IMO, 10 minutes for charging is more important than the range. If we can get 300+ miles of range in 10 minutes or less, it’s game over for ICE. Only diehards and collectors...

Thanks for the update on that..

The Canoo is the true Microbus of our times, not that hideous ID Buzz thingy. I’d absolutely pimp the pickup version of that.

At this point, I'd say it's only a matter of time before Rivian announces support for NACS.

I would really like to get a behind the scenes story on how Tesla pulled this off. IMO they played this masterfully.

CharIN just surrendered... https://www.charin.global/news/charin-stands-behind-ccs-and-mcs-but-also-supports-the-standardization-of-tesla-nacs/ Hey @jjswan33 I think I should start a new thread for this but I'm worried about your PTSD.. ?

That really has no impact on the US market. We've had differing standards on various things for ages. Even the Chinese uses something other than CCS (GB/T)

Yea, I’d be cool with that. But it makes no sense in Tesla’s part. This is a growth industry that they are extremely well positioned to dominate. It would be foolish to doing it off.

And yet, here you are. Not only reading it but commenting twice. I bet you even comment a third time after reading this. If not, well that’s Missing accomplished fit both of us. ?

https://electrek.co/2023/06/12/tesla-nacs-connector-gains-support-list-companies/ With these announcements, ChargePoint, EVgo, and several charger manufacturers will support NACS. Electrify Americas chargers come from two manufacturers in the list. As far as I’m concerned, the EV Chargers...

1. (you knew this was coming) Carplay or at least Waze support. 2. At a bare minimum let us do music over USB. BT is utter garbage for sound. 3. A rear bumper. Trust me folks, you do NOT want even a minor rear collision right now. Put a side step on it for good measure. 4. Get rid of the glass...
