Yeah you also need to factor in less overall maintenance (oil changes etc), but that's offset by higher tire expense... And the list goes on.
But overall if you're only paying around $0.10/kWh you're going to be ahead, how much depends on how much you drive.
And yeah I don't know how cold it...
Agree even 200hp on a single wheel is nice, but considering it's a 7000+ lb vehicle I can see cases (off road) where more could be useful or even necessary. Would you agree?
I came from a 25 year old Tacoma, so I hear you on how much of a change it is! Quite a lot of new things to learn. I've been enjoying reading your updates. I'm already over 14,000 miles in 6 months, having never driven anywhere near this many miles before in such a short time (typically avg...
The right most point (green area in your pic) of the graph is the current efficiency. That seems to be pretty accurate in my experience. Then there's the average of the last 15 mins of this (the entire current graph) calculated with the number at the bottom. This also seems to be pretty accurate...
Can anyone confirm that if I order tires from Costco (need to order them to the store for install), of a different size than stock, that they will indeed install them?
I still thankfully have quite a bit of tread on my stock ATs (13k miles in 6 months) but I'm looking at the new Michelin...
Congrats! I also used USSFCU, similar rate, happy with that and was able to get through all the paperwork without too much trouble (thought it did require several phone calls). But now my issue is they have been totally unresponsive when I've tried to contact them re getting the title released...
I've unlatched mine a couple times so far and *knock on wood* so far so good. Doesn't take much force to unlatch. I'm a little concerned as time passes and the plastic inevitably becomes brittle, but happy with it for now. It's kept out almost all the recent heavy rain. I'm able to transport my...
I didn't even realize until reading this that there was a locking mechanism. I was in a bit of a hurry when I installed mine a couple days ago and mine came with no instructions. I've just been using it held in by the tailgate. I'll be extra careful now when locking it. It's quite disappointing...
Mine didn't seem to come with any instructions at all. So I initially just pushed the panels in.. obviously the tailgate didn't close. Luckily I didn't try to slam it! Then figured out how to lock the panels together while putting them in. I have it on now and like it a lot. Though even the $800...
My manual cover that I paid for with my truck purchase back in July was (finally) delivered 12/11. I haven't been home yet to open it, am looking forward to it. Really could have used it a couple months ago.
If you manage to get a LE from the shop you should try to find one with free upgraded 20" wheels. (Not the All Terrain package, you'll have to pay for that even on LE.) Unless you're totally set on 22s.
11k miles in under 5 months on my R1T and I've paid about $100 total to charge (saved about $2500 in gas) and still love driving it every time. I've driven a few other EVs including a rental (Volvo C40 Recharge) during service for few minor issues with squeaks and wind noise at speed, and when I...
Option A. Longer warranty, better performance, more drive modes, much better color. And you'll proudly be driving the original quad motor which will be more rare over time.
But if you don't care much about those things then option B for the extra range isn't a bad choice.
Regardless, I would...
This is partly why I realized over the last year+ that RIVN was the better choice vs LCID. But even more important is that Rivian has no real competition. They are first to market, own the "adventure vehicle" segment, and no other EV truck comes close. The Cybertruck release being so stunningly...
Nice!
I was at the South San Francisco service center recently to finally pick up my wristband key and they took over 2 hours so I had a while to walk around while I waited. I looked at all the VINs of vehicles awaiting delivery. For both R1T and R1S the highest VINs I saw were just under 30k...
