Thank you for this. Obviously I was incorrect. I will revisit my calculations.
Just for clarity, I am 100% in the camp of electric cars are better for the environment. I was just pointing out that it can be debated, as it is being debated currently. Not that I am debating it. I've wanted to go...
I've read this in numerous places trying to understand the cost of charging at home, "an electric car's energy consumption is measured in kilowatt-hours per 100 miles (kWh/100 miles)"
So based on your calculation, I am not understanding. If electric in NJ costs 11 cents per kilowatt hour I...
So, I've been doing some calculations as I live in NJ and MPG or kWh cost is important to me. The big bronco has about a 18 gallon tank (using this data: Bronco 2.3L I-4: 16-20/17-22/17-21 mpg)
(17 miles per Gallon, gas in 3.06 per gallon here in NJ currently). So for $55 bucks you can drive...
This is a concern of mine as I truly enjoy the environment/mountains whenever possible. However, and I've read this in a number of places, you don't see the environment benefits with ICE vs Electric until about 20,000 miles...
I've been studying the R1T for a long time, have a launch edition on reserve but the more I see the Bronco and what they are doing / coming out with I start to wondering would I enjoy the Bronco lifestyle more.
I know they aren't the same...especially ICE vs Electric. However, I do have some...
2022 F150 Lightning site is up....9 days till some info. Will be interesting how Ford enters this market off the success of the Mach-E Mustang.

I agree with all of these points. The camp kitchen is badass and would be awesome at a football game tailgate but for actual camping I'm not sure having your kitchen next to your car and tent is actually a good idea especially if you are camping where there are bears which is almost anywhere...
Is this the wood grain color of the black interior? Configurator shows a different color but in every video we see with black interior there are light stains on the wood....
This is where I am torn. Because Tacoma would be what I would probably buy if there wasn't the option of the Rivian tempting me. Tacomas seem to own the adventure space, along with Jeeps, so it will be interesting to see if the Rivian can crack it. And most adventure people usually don't like to...
For me I will want to take this approach if spending the type of money we are talking about. And btw, I loved the Sky when they dropped. Rarely see them on the roads any more. I'm in my first lease now, I am starting to regret it as I have 1 year left, money in the toilet.
Just for fun I'm looking at used Model S & X...each of those at 4-5 years old...selling on Tesla website 2016 S - 43K, loaded with features and low miles, 2017 S - loaded/low miles at 47K. 2017 X, loaded/low miles at 58K. New X starts at 85, New S starts at 75.
I don't know if its fair to...
If I drop 75K I plan on keeping it 10 years + but might need to drop a wrap or something mid life to keep me from not getting sick of it. Problem is tech improves so quickly now, will I want the latest and greatest in 10 years (probably yes) but I won't want to drop another 75K I'm sure.
35K...
Cars in general are worth less than 20% after year year one....by five years has lost 60% of its value. On a 75K car that's 45K in depreciation. 75K is serious moolah and I really love the Rivian, look at pictures every day and dream of where I'm going in it. I'm enticed by the idea getting a...
Do you mean that the matte wrap would be clear to dull the color? Could you achieve the same outcome getting the R1T in black and using a matte clear wrap? Or am I totally off on what you are saying?
agreed on this...the website pictures in the woods & when on display with all the special lighting it looks incredible but in all the real life pictures I’m in the something else please camp. Forest Green has also had this issue when you compare real life to the promo pictures however it’s just...
Im thinking along these lines also, I used to have a Mustang and that thing would bring a smile to my face and was so much fun to drive. The Gladiator has that vibe but everything else about the Rivian is better. I have the launch edition reserved but I’m really curious how the removable top...
