I'm actually wondering if they reviewed the Ford Ranger EV or Chevy S-10 EV.
But their website doesn't have a "search everything even from over 20 years ago" search
This has been my Nor-Central-SoCal experience as well.
Superchargers sites are more plentiful and each site has way more chargers.
I see EA chargers in many of the same parking lots as Superchargers, and since I'll be relying on them soon I often go take a look.
This summer, at (4)...
Yup. 16 years in SV myself. Seen it plenty.
The "neutral view of not believing any accusers story until evidence corroborates" is FAR from unbiased.
It objectively favors the system in power vs the individual claiming bias, which means it almost always favors the abuser.
And the abused's take...
In 2010, nobody would've said these things about BEVs.
Because in 2010, we'd already had:
- The EV1 in the mid 90's
- The Ford Ranger EV in the late 90's
- The Chevy S10 EV in the late 90's
- The 1st generation Rav4 EV in the late 90's
- The Tesla Roadster, demonstrated in 2006 and first...
Can't tell if you're joking, trolling, or ... just extremely misinformed.
But:
- There's no mainstream EV with meaningful solar built-in
- Because the physics of current battery/motor/solar inefficiencies means it's literally impossible
- And even if it were technically possible, it would be...
Just pricing it out:
Explore trim, max pack, off-road package, standard 21" wheels - $79,500
"Save" $7,500 and then buy a separate set of 20"s with AT tires - which I'll be wanting to do anyways.
But you'd have to stick with a base color to do that, as well.
However, it's all a nonstarter for...
There's a difference between guide contact and delivery, though...?
They still could have all guide contacts by end of November, and still deliver all LE by Spring 2022.
These two things are compatible.
I would never argue that every single Leaf buyer should go for the 226mi pack instead of the 149mi pack.
I would never argue the Bolt is compromised with a ~260mi range because it should be more.
I would never argue the MachE is terrible at 238mi when it should be 338mi.
The Polestar 2...
I guarantee you'll be disappointed, then.
It's not about range *estimation* - EV folks tend to learn to ignore the guess-o-meters.
My Tesla is rated at 333wh/mi, and in mild (55+) temps on flat ground it gets that or better.
But climbing a mountain in the cold (30-) and wind, you can easily...
I see you own an EV, so you have first hand experience.
So you're speaking from a place of experience. That makes sense, anecdotally, for you
You know the ins and outs of charging curves, and cold weather, and highway speeds, and your Model Y works. For you.
I (and I presume P100D) are not...
Based on the details in my post you're replying to, I think you're asking me to confirm that I cannot make it on one charge if I:
- If I charge to 280mi indicated range
- Leave from my point in San Jose to North Lake Tahoe (231 miles indicated on Google Maps for the route I'd take)
- Make the...
If only "nearly all" trucks have gone to employees, then a non-zero number has gone to non-employees.
With apologies to all the forum members who assume that a non-employee with a truck must necessarily be enough of an enthusiast to be on these forums and reveal themselves to be, but...

I'm in the SF Bay Area, as well.
Not sure where you're leaving from and what part of Yosemite you're going to, so I'll use my fairly common Bay Area example.
Silicon Valley to Tahoe -> 230 miles.
Can it be done on 20AT tires with the ~280mi range?
I've tried in my Model X which has an actual...
It's the same days and location as the Sonoma First Mile Test Drive event, but to secure an actual test drive you had to have a preorder and get invited.
When people use the "employees who pay money for a truck they then own are not customers" as part of their argument for... something... it often invalidates much of their argument.
So... "agree to disagree" doesn't work if you're trying to establish shared understanding the facts and have an...
Who is alleging this, you?
I've never heard any such allegations other than jokes, well before meaningful info started to leak out.
Oh I wish we'd just STOP this nonsense already.
Rivian has produced a production vehicle and handed over complete control of that vehicle to a private party...
Re: Efficiency numbers
According to my communications for the upcoming Sonoma test drive event:
The test drives will be 15m per driver, and will involve heavy acceleration/handling on pavement as well as a fair amount of dirt and rocks.
It's not just that we won't be driving long enough to get...
"They don't count, they work for Rivian!"
"Even though they paid for their truck, they're NOT a customer delivery"
"I don't care that they USED to work for Rivian, they once did! It's absolutely reasonable for someones employment history to make their purchase invalid!"
