Agreed. There is no harm in leaving the EV plugged in even if it's at the desired state of charge (just, don't set it to 100% and leave it there for days or weeks). Cold or Hot, it's important that if the car is outside, it's plugged in. The car will (at least my Tesla did), run the...

In 2023? Nada really for me (looking for a pickup to replace the pickup we have AND replace the Tesla X as the family cruiser). Ford wise: The F150 Lightening, I'm guessing will be a 2023 item for most folks, but I'm after the longer range (dos boot will take a chunk of the range when towing...

Well... in comparison to hardware. ;)

*shrug* Clearly it's a big thing for you. I'll give you the "UX is the same" but even there, you will have limitations (at least for now) when it comes to vehicle specific interactions (unless the drive is to force an API for things like in car HVAC, Security, Driving Setup, Driver Settings...

Agreed, but until then, it sounds like 2-3 Navs for folks that don't like the idea of the in car nav. I will say, I do really like the Android Auto integration in the Volvo (since it does pull data from the car to handle routing and such) as it's a completely native experience and ties into my...

And when you pop in your destination, which of these three can tell you where to charge along your route based on your SoC and power consumption? I partially agree, AA/CarPlay are great, but they will have hard limits. Until they can directly interface with your vehicle, understand it's SoC...

Probably depends on your location (and somewhat on the options you pick).

H1 CY23 April 2021 order date Adventure trim with Max pack

As a Max Pack Adventure pre-order holder, these dates have no impact on my calculus. There are no other options that will deliver a 400 mile range EV pickup before Rivian. My F150 Lightning order might get filled in 2022, but I have no idea, Ford has been less communicative than Rivian (I...

I can't imagine what your Search History must look like (or your targeted ads).

I gotta ask, "What does Rivian get from enabling CP/AA?" A couple extra car sales? How does that compare with an E2E solution in which they have full control over the data, capabilities, and integration with the hardware (and software) in the vehicle to create a better, more immersive and fluid...

Detox via wash, strip, and clay bar, then the real fun starts... FYI... you CANNOT have PPF/colour vinyl put on if you had Ceramic done first, it won't stick right and your application person will hunt you down with a harpoon. PPF/vinyl first, then Ceramic.

There was a place I talked with about doing my X, they do a lot of the wraps that have images to them (racing rigs and commercial setups). They were... expensive. It sounded like lots of labor in getting just the right stretch in the wrap and lining up the lines and such between the panels...

I doubt it actually has fuses that you can access (and not what we might consider "traditional fuses". A Tesla doesn't have them either. it uses relay's that the car/service team can reset when stuff goes wrong (remotely or otherwise). I'd be a bit shocked it if had one of these (or if it...

From my experience, no. It doesn't change the "matted" effect of the PPF or of a matte vinyl wrap, it does shift the colour slightly though, generally making it a little bit darker and a little deeper in tone (if you have a colour vinyl wrap). My Tesla X here has had the Ceramic coating done to...

Pick axe and a hot glue gun.

Same, I'm rounding to "The end of the Quarter" that they give me. They say July 22, I'd set my expectations for "Q3 CY22", so anywhere from July to Sept of that year. If it's all the way out to 2023, I'm just rounding to the half mark (July 2023 = sometime between July of 2023 and Dec 2023)...

I'll be doing a full wrap and ceramic coating on mine. I've done this on the last 3 cars I've had/have. The PPF has saved my front end from innumerable chips, my doors from door dings, and my back end from my dogs inability to gauge a proper jumping height and distance. Ceramic on the outside...

To the tune of around $1,500 a year...
