I hear you, but I think we need to understand how hard it is to launch a new car company. Just look at Tesla as an example. They had a gradual increase in production that lasted 8 years - that happened once the Model 3 hit volume production. And, the Model 3 was almost 2 years behind...

It maybe a moot point. Electrify America will have made a lot of progress on phase 3 or its expansion plan - which includes eastern Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming by 2023. Based on the news of deliveries being pushed back due to the current global manufacturing conditions, will probably...

Can you elaborate on why you feel uneasy? Large corporations get sued all of the time. Is news of a lawsuit traditionally released a week prior to going public? No, but it is a leverage play. And most people understand the timing. At the end of the day, cooler heads, and attorneys, will...

Touche!! If you want to go to eastern Montana or North Dakota use the back up plan! Once you actually take ownership.

@Scoiatael and @Jabbahop Since 2015 I have owned two different Model S', two different Model X's, an Audi e-Tron, and a Porsche Taycan 4s. I have logged serious miles in all of those vehicles. I have no issues touting the strength and superiority of the Tesla Supercharging network. What...

This is a freaking joke. Another Tesla shrill touting the Tesla Supercharging network as perfect, and Electrify America charging network as garbage. Why is this even posted on this board? Total Tesla propaganda crap. Raj says "I would never road trip in a non-Tesla." That guy is a hack...

Charging is similar to people, every day is a different mood and you should never extrapolate a single encounter.... Amen. Most rational comment on the board today.

I used to own a '19 e-Tron and put 10,000 miles on it in 6 moths. I even drove across Utah multiple times in it before the Green River EA charger was installed - meant having to detour up to Spanish Fork or stopping in Moab depending on which direction you are going. I know the car well - it...

Why is this disappointing? Those speeds are better than standard for the newer electric vehicles hitting the market - new Mach-E Ford and the new ID4 may hit those speeds on a good day at that charge level, if ever. My Taycan is one of the two fastest charging EVs on the market and usually...

I think Brice nailed it - Electrify America is super inconsistent. Some days you get amazing speeds, some days you don't. As long as a person understands that, road tripping in a Rivian will be a delight. Also, hitting 80% in a certain amount of time will vary depending on the battery pack...

All good. You will figure it out one way or the other. I hope you find what you want, but just remember to keep your personal expectations grounded in the reality of the vehicle's capabilities and the driving conditions. Just a little word of advice when it comes to EV's. Cheers

A Model S is a very different car than the Model X. It is more aerodynamic, and a little lighter, so depending on speeds, will go farther than a Model X.

Not trying to be a jerk, but there are a lot of factors that go into how far an electric vehicle will go on a full battery. Speed is the number 1 item to consider. There is traditionally 5% to 10% loss of range by going from an 19 inch wheel to a 21 inch wheel - it takes more energy to turn...

There is nothing "I am sure I am going to take a huge hit in range" about it. You will lose minimum 50% to 60% of your range when pulling that camper. And, since you are blessed to live in Colorado, anticipate even more going up and down Loveland Pass or Vail Pass on I-70. Just be thankful...

The range of the standard pack is "enough" right up until conditions change and it isn't. I am all in favor of a large pack for certain things I would like to to do. And, I ordered the large pack on my R1T. But, good lord man, your comment makes it sound that you are driving in super...

Well, I am going to have to disagree with you on your first point. How many weekend warriors drive an F-150 currently, and they are not towing or hauling anything, nor going backcountry camping? Hell, I am not hauling or towing anything, but it would be fun to take Weston Pass on my drive...

@TessP100D, can you elaborate on your obsession with range? You realize that the key for long distance electric vehicle driving is charging speed, not range, correct? This has already been proven ad nauseum. Get the larger pack for towing, or if you are going camping in the backcountry for...

The obsession with EV range is for Tesla fanboys to spout on the internet how much better a Tesla is than any other EV because it can potentially go 300 miles in ideal conditions. What people don't understand is that it is not about range, it is about charging speeds. My inefficient...

I don't want to derail the conversation, but I think it is well known that one of Tesla's strengths is software, and the user interface between software and machine. Just look at Over the Air updates. No one has come close to what Tesla does in this regard. In the past nearly 6 years, I have...

-I have driven the Porsche Taycan and can say that was one of the best cars I have driven. The fit and finish was amazing, light years ahead of my Tesla. However I would still not buy one. Less range, questionable better performance, questionable future resale value, double the price. I...
