They're counting on text messaging being obsolete in 7-10 years.

The plot also hit a little too close to home considering current events.

Rivian really isn't on-brand for a movie about techno-fascists but it's always nice to a Rivian on screen.

Clearly, it will be a Gear Guard Gary wearing a mankini:

Why wasn't the title of this thread "RAN pricing goes down again!" if they lowered prices at 3 stations?

It's also getting a new "Coastal Dune" paint color. Coastal Dune is to California Dune as Marble Slab Creamery is to Cold Stone Creamery.

I think the only businesses in need of a Cyber Worktruck are the Energy Drink/Low T/Andrew Tate/Hard Rock Radio sectors.

Pretty much every windshield in the USA--oem or otherwise--is made by fuyao. The only difference is that the replacement glass may lack the Rivian logo. Fuyao was also the subject of the academy award winning documentary American Factory.

A new character played by Megan Mullally.

There were some brief flashes of a fleet of Glacier White R1S's in episode 2 and the episode 3 teaser.

The Lucid accessory uses AC output from the charge port. The R1 does not have this capability. Sure, you can hack anything. Those unlicensed devices are sketchy at best and work by tricking the Tesla into opening the high-voltage relay. Even if this was possible with the R1 it would be a...

It would be a nice feature for the R1, but it's not going to happen. As others have said there are ways to run extension cords from the interior outlets and still keep the vehicle secure. The Gen1 and Gen2 R1's are not capable of exporting AC through the charge port. It can only output DC...

I don't even buy that they're starting production this year (or ever).

I've gotten my best charging curves at the new Delta pilot/EVGo chargers and the Gen 2 RAN chargers.

Will the updated X still be ugly AF?

Yes! It sounds exactly like my Polaris Ranger EV. You can't really judge the final product based on an early prototype. I think it was a bad move for them to video a prototype like this because that nuance is going to be lost on those that watch snippets of video.

He also referred to charging speed as 'Kwh' multiple times. This is my probably too harsh litmus test for how serious an executive is about electrics.

The point of an EREV is to allow one to use battery most of the time while allowing full capability of the vehicle when the battery is depleted. This is a different mission than a hybrid. The engine needs to be able to maintain speed and power while towing a full load on an incline. That's...

You would save well less than 5 minutes on a 350 kW vs 150 kW EA charger on a 0-80% charge. You wouldn't even save much time if you were driving something with a better charging curve like an Ioniq 5. It's not worth getting annoyed, especially if you don't know whether the lower-power...
