Yeah, he and the guy that tried to pull him out clearly don’t watch Matt’s Off-Road Recovery otherwise he would have had Matt’s Yellow Rope thingy or the equivalent Amazon knock off…

Probably none if the suspension/steering is all good. I’ve watched a lot of Matt’s Off-Road Recovery. He does these recoveries all the time at Sand Hollow when people drive too close to the water. It doesn’t seem like it flooded.

There’s a reason colors cost more. Pigment has a cost and mixing/switching colors has a cost. Rivian is a small company and as having to swap between colors at their low level of production incurs a high relative cost in terms of efficiency. They want to incentivize a certain set of “cheap”...

Did they ever figure out tires that last more than 30k miles for the i3?

It could’ve also been a headwind and/or higher use of the heater.

I live in Moab. ChargePoint and SemaConnect have nothing to do with those stations being down. Rocky Mtn Power is either tired of people charging for free or is upgrading. That station has seen a substantial bump in activity in the past year. Even the Hummer testing crew mooched off them when...

? there are a lot of people here with a pretty high level understanding of these things. You may have had 7 mortgages in your lifetime and some of us may have had 7 mortgages in the last year. I just closed on another house and multiple HELOCS on other properties. The guidance here that you...

It sounds like you don’t even need to be charging at home. DCFC charges optimally when the battery is warmed and the SOC is below 10%. You could make it to your DCFC with 50% (or less) SOC unless it’s cold. Test it a few times to optimize your charging stop and your battery will be fine. If...

This post is giving me Range Rover maintenance nightmare vibes …

Not sure what else has been said, but besides the obvious outlet / wiring / breaker considerations you might consider a smart panel from Span or Eaton. https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/company/news-insights/energy-transition/home-as-a-grid/homeowners.html

This statement should be “some contemporary vehicles”. I have owned many Subarus and yes, if you don’t drive it enough your battery will die.However, I had a 2015 Fiat 500e that would get parked for months at a time (unplugged) and never died. The only drain of the HV battery appeared to be from...

EA chargers that are having issues will sometimes go into a free mode so you just got lucky that day!

That site might be a better resource than going to the forums!

You misunderstood here. He did not say “failing”. He said “actual”. If the COO is forced to step in on design and engineering issues they are likely bottlenecked in getting the operations side optimized due to inherent failures in the product itself. Bringing in Munro at such a late stage...

If you’re that worried about hail you just get one of these: https://hailprotector.com/

Rate does not mean the gross total. You misunderstood the word here. By most accounts Texas is pretty average in the rate of adoption and in 2019 it was less than 0.5%. As far as the grid goes Texas has a lot of capacity in wind, solar, gas, and oil. While they may have some issues overall it’s...

Ford sold 8%. Not exactly dumping it all out. Today is just classic market psychology combined with overall negative sentiment, maybe a flood of sellers with expiring lockups, and some overall worrying about what happens after earnings get announced. People get in a frenzy to go all in above...

These rules do not apply off road. This is why off road only vehicles (aka unlicensed) can fail to meet various safety and regulatory requirements. It’s merely a software and UI tweak to turn the sound off when running off road.

Think of the massive energy use of a Rivian with its seat belt buckled while charging. Not very eco friendly ….

This can’t beat a Sprinter/Winnebago for comfort. Pull up to the bike park early, get a nice spot, use the bathroom, brush your teeth, cook some breakfast, get dressed standing up, take a nap….
