I was going to comment on the fact that this image represents the difference between EV tire compounds made for the additional weight, rolling resistance and torque. You can see on the front driver's tire the sidewall actually did burn, but the tread did not. Definitely an interesting view...
I tried the TWraps product. It looked good at a distance, but up close there was a bit of a grid look due to the glue. I also could not get the windshield area done correctly by myself. I ended up taking mine to a shop that did it with Xpel Black PPF and it looked good.
I am still not a big fan of subsidizing EV sales, nor am I ok with subsidizing Oil and Gas. We have to let the market speak. Tesla proved people will adopt the technology with or without subsidies. The majority of Tesla's growth in US sales came after the initial EV incentives in the US...
This...using Miles added is such a terrible comparison for vehicles and charging speed. Its like going to a gas station and saying I am pumping in XX miles vs YY Gallons. it has so many dependencies that do not align correctly.
I had this with Ford when they changed their app to show Miles...
I would say A2Z likely has a similar issue here. The locking mechanism seems to require the user to engage it vs disengage to remove. I have yet to get the A2Z connector to actually lock, but I have not tried to unplug it while in use, so hopefully I am missing something.
I will say it has...
having just had ours officially ruled a complete loss, due to an accident, the new pricing is definitely tough. Doing the math, pre 3/1/22 was a 21.7% difference for me on the R1S. Luckily for me I had new car replacement, so it did pay off. Now, looking to decide on a new R1S or something else.
I have done this for my Lightning as my early order of the adapter was met with a June Delivery. I am not sure when Rivian will get to everyone.
A2Z was 3 weeks out for shipping as of Feb 29. I have yet to receive my shipped confirmation. I am sure they are much further out as of now.
On a...
Great addition to the R1S, Rivian over engineered the charging pad. We had difficulty getting it to work. Installed this in the Rivian and it was an awesome addition. My wife loved the little storage box. Our Rivian was totaled after being run off the road by an 18-wheeler. Everyone was ok...
Our Rivian was totaled after we were run off the road by an 18-wheeler. Everyone was well protected, Rivian SOS connected after the accident. All in all, great experience.
Selling everything for $400.
Mobile Charger that came with the R1S never used ($400)
Air Compressor line, used 1 time to...
I would doubt it. I tried using the Tesla CCS Adapter they have for use at Tesla chargers with my Ford Charge Station Pro and it did not work. Feels like it is similar, but not sure it translates exactly. I did use the Tesla J1722 adapter (slightly modified due to the FCSP having a CCS style...
What you are missing in my point is they have been all over bragging about being first, how all owners now have access, etc. They obviously were not prepared. Their site crashed with only 150k eligible customers based on number of Mach-E and lightnings sold. Opening up the network is useless...
This... I have a Lightning as well. The site crashed in the morning and when I was finally able to order, it was June. Very frustrating as Ford is banging their chests, meanwhile, all of the influencers all received theirs early. So, Ford comes out looking great, meanwhile, I have to hope...
