Sorry, but this is just unrealistic. We have enough data available to know that already.

Seems like that's how his wife likes to travel.

OP's original post. His wife's rule for buying an EV. It says it in the post lol.

OP's original post. His wife.

We all answered the question in the first page or two then got bored :CWL: we gotta string this thing out to 26 pages like the FM radio thread!

I'm sure that goes well every time you say that to your wife :CWL:

Hmmm...I'm not sure it's that drastic. Have any examples to share? HW3 Model Y for sale at $33,998 with 50k miles https://www.carmax.com/car/28503276 HW4 Model Y for sale at $33,998 with 40k miles https://www.carmax.com/car/28612466

Fossil fuels are a finite resource. How finite remains to be seen. The sun is an infinite resource. If the sun burns out, all of human life is dead anyways. What doesn't get talked about enough with regards to "renewables" IMO is how all the old solar panels and batteries go into landfills...

Book another one and have your wife drive then. I have my first one Friday in Richmond and will book another for Monday or sometime next week. Guy at Rivian told me you get 30 min driving but you can book another at another time if you want once you finish the first one.

If you thought I was saying we shouldn't try, then I chose my words poorly. We certainly should try today, but we are a generation away even with us trying today. Demonizing those around us who drive gas vehicles shouldn't be our focus (not saying you said that, I'm just saying) especially...

Ahh I see now. You're right. Poor phrasing on my part. :like:

"Gas is less convenient. EV's are easier" is not a fact nor an objective statement. It is subjective and a personal opinion. Which was my point of course.

This dips into the realm of politics, so I'll stay away from that part of it so I don't get in trouble with the mods. I respect what you wrote, but my point was not everyone agrees on all those points and we should be respectful to those people who disagree and prefer gas vehicles. As much as...

That's simply your opinion though. Not everyone feels that way and that's ok from my perspective.

Yes, use XPEL and do 70 on the roof so your risk is lower, but it can still happen. My local tint shop is on the list and is an XPEL top dealer too.

I’m saying there is no warranty given by anyone for cracked roof glass due to tint. Warranties cover manufacturing defects. Heat stress from tint causing a cracked roof is not a defect; it’s a known risk. Rivian (and every other OEM) will tell you “that’s an aftermarket product that caused the...

Very sure. Best of luck getting them to cover a heat/stress cracked roof glass due to tint. That'll be a fun argument to have with them. Yeah it doesn't impact your Rivian warranty bc there is no warranty on glass cracked due to tint. It's not a manufacturing defect. XPEL's warranty is for...

I'm sure there is a lack of "education" with most people when it comes to EV's; no doubt about that. But no amount of "education" will change how a lot of people feel and what they desire though. My wife will never drive an EV and has zero desire to do so. She's fine with me driving one and...

Summer is peak used car values as that is when everyone buys. So I am hoping forest green and coastal cloud are released ASAP so I can sell my current car before values go down. Happened to me last time when I was unable to sell until December, value tanked from summertime.

You will get zero warranty coverage for cracked glass bc of tint no matter who you choose.
