Is that on a residential service? I ask because I had a house in Sedona a few years ago, and was never subjected to a demand charge. In my experience, demand charges are generally used for commercial and industrial customers.

This especially! Plus the various investigations going on in the US and other countries regarding Tesla having required thousands of owners to pay for suspension repairs that should have been covered by warranty. Also, potential unionization issues.

I have run 80 psi rated tires on many different vehicles over the years, but have never heard this. Please explain why, and what happens if you do go lower.

I respectfully disagree with that statement. Do you have any data to back it up? I don’t know the exact number of people using this forum, but there are 756 pages of members listed with about 20 per page which would indicate about 15,120 registered users. Many users don’t even have their...

An interesting read. You bring up some good points. The EV public charging infrastructure for non-Tesla vehicles is definitely in need of improvement, and I think that will come with time. Luckily, most EV owners (other than apartment dwellers, unfortunately) only need it for long trips as we...

So what are you saying here? Having spent 45 minutes speaking with them, did you question/discuss the situation with their chargers often broken, not working properly, etc? What was their response/explanation?

“… mind on driving …” being the most important part in my opinion.

What’s with the 3 Amp AC input current?

That’s fine. As I said earlier, each to their own.

That really had me laughing … calling yourself a whiner. i kind of get how it could feel … push forward to drive and pull down/back to reverse. I think that feeling might come from the fact that on most automatic transmissions you would pull down/back to go into reverse. You aren’t...

Why … it will result in the best overall performance. My concern is not about tire wear. That is kind of a side issue in my mind. I am simply after the ultimate best vehicle performance. But each to their own.

I am not an automotive engineer; however … It seems plain to me that when you apply additional force/use to one tire that tire will wear more quickly than another with less use. For example, my spare tire which has not been used clearly has less wear than any of the tires mounted on my R1S...

Oh ye of little faith! I am not talking about faith in God, but faith in human beings and progress. Firstly, nowhere did I say it is possible with our current collective knowledge to control the wheels in the manner I suggested. What I actually said was that I would LIKE to see this done. If...

Accepting the facts regarding front bias for braking and regeneration which is in effect simply another form of braking, I would like to see something different in Rivian vehicles. Particularly in the quad motor, where the motors are totally individually computer controlled, I would like to see...

I am not at all defending or promoting the CT, but FWIW 4 wheel steering will likely result in longer tire life.

I don’t know what the actual breakdown would be of those liking OPD vs those not liking it, but I suspect your numbers are significantly off. If you are going to put numbers to this it would earn greater acceptance if you actually researched to get real numbers. You called it “fact that most...

Looks to me that you have an alignment issue. The third pic … is that a rear tire with same milage as the ones in the first two pics? If yes, do you use conserve a lot?

But you didn’t say whether or not the Rivian BMS has that ability. Do you actually know whether or not it does? If it has that capability, would you care to elaborate on how it works? Settings required? Thresholds?

Looking forward to the data you record at temps below 40 deg. in AP in standard height. After that how about doing a season in AP at LOW height to be able to more directly compare to Conserve data? Too bad more drivers with repeatable trips haven’t gathered this kind of data. You have put a...

I really like what you did. No one else (that I am aware of) has even attempted that. You had a great idea, and I was with you all the way until I read those 2 comments. Those indicate your review of data required only 1 minute per location. Assuming you could accomplish that (I couldn’t)...
