Distance over Energy works just fine to understand efficiency and compare vehicles. (How much more efficient is 20mpg than 10mpg? 100% more. Not difficult.) No need to change the system. Especially when the proposed system doesn't roll of the tongue at all. MPGe is the best we have right now...

Agreed, the content is way too drawn out, just like TFL. Can't do it.

Great photos, thank you! Sure looks good in the snow!

I have a '22 Model 3 and love it. I see them as vastly different vehicles. I mean, the Model 3 is nearly TWICE as efficient as the Rivian. PLUS for any longer trips, I want the supercharger network to have my back. I still plan to use the Rivian for camping trips, but I can't ignore the...

Back road autopilot in the Tesla is not very good so I don't bother, however as soon as I hit interstate I turn it on and love having it! Seems the Rivian has this covered for me.

Looks great, as long as the outside paint has no blue in it. That rules out El Cap and Limestone in my book. Red, Blue, Yellow are all out. I think it looks very good with Black/White/Forest Green/Silver and will probably work with Launch Green, but may blend in too much...

That silver is looking really nice. And I hate silver!

Here's my current configuration. Now seeing more FE pics and it being Lighter in color than the configurator, I think it will look really good with Midnight Black paint. I do not care for it paired with El Cap Gray above. Not a good mix imo.

We are in the same boat! I started FG/BM and was all about Holding. A lot of the pics pushed me away from FG, and now I am back on Midnight with the FE interior... If this is all we have to worry about :) Ooh look Rivian Blue!

I think major depreciation on ICE fully depends on the competing EV space. Gas Truck values will be strong for another decade at this rate given their range/towing abilities, but most other segments are much more venerable. Now that I have a Model 3, the only ICE vehicle I can see in my future...

Ford is still up BILLions from their measly 500m investment in Rivian. This was expected volatility on the books that nobody should be surprised about. Gotta love the mood swings of the stock market though.

(Changes configuration to exactly match this)

This video definitely shows the weak points of the R1 off-road. Notice every time he was in a high torque situation, excess throttle was needed, then it got going too fast for the next obstacle. This is the downside of not having a 'low range' gearbox and will make it difficult to pick through...

To me it is all about ROI. PPF is basically a zero ROI investment. It's for you only. If you are going to keep this truck for 10 years, wrap that thing up! If you cannot stand the idea of a rock chip on your $100k super truck, wrap it up! But remember, that $3k or whatever you put into it won't...

RE: Charging speed being 'not as good' as the Hummer Let's do some quick math... To charge 200 kwh at 300 kw, it takes roughly 0.74 hours. To charge 135 kwh at 200 kw, it takes roughly 0.75 hours. So - the actual advantage is slim and only applies on road trips at superchargers. At home the...

The Rivian has shown really well. This review was nice and predictable, but still good to read. Hoping the tonneau cover issue is worked out, because it's a must have for me. See how bad the Hummer fared with weight in the bed? Slow. The Rivian still hit 60 at dual motor pace with 1500# in the...

Damn that green is looking good. I flipped back to Midnight the other day... Good thing I have a year to decide!

Last year when i lived there, 9% sales tax plus registration fees. I figure 10% is a good rough estimate. I suppose take solace in the fact that CA has other incentives on EVs to claw back some cash later.

I posted a comparison of the new pricing vs the Lightning and it answers the same question (The New Reality) - yes there will be demand for a luxurious 600hp truck for $70k. We forget that the quad motor R1T is more bad ass than any truck on the market, and is total overkill. It's akin to the...

There is a lot of hysteria surrounding the first ~70k reservations, their pricing, and options, etc. One thing that has been glossed over by us reservation holders is this new Rivian pricing strategy and market positioning. I believe Rivian will excite shareholders with their announcement of...
