Well, for starters, if you drop your connector on a garage floor, your CCS has a higher likelihood of cracking or breaking the locking tab like my hubby’s gen one R1T. I dropped my Tesla cable twice. No detectable difference. I have my eyes on a gen 2 R2 because buggy 1.0 is a thing. I’ll see...
huh. My MY 23 (Snerk. Model Y ‘23) Heat pump is very loud when it’s hurrying to desired temp while plugged in at home but otherwise it’s very mild.
I hope Rivian is able to work these and the R2 issues out quickly. I’m damn sure I’m not buying another Tesla but when the time comes, I hope...
I'm happy that it's still drivable and most of the damage is on them. The Rivian seamless design leads to painful repairs. A podcaster I enjoy (and dumped his Model S early on in the Elon self-exposé) used to have a R1S. His saga is online if you want me to locate it. Short: backed into stump...
Correct. Dead batteries while parked in your garage are not
If a battery in an ICE dies while driving there is no issue as the alternator is running everything. If both die (bad alternator causing the battery to run the car for a not, it is the same as this scenario. It vey much is a safety...
Don't know about the deceit but it's a tragic loss. They had an interesting concept and it competition is good for buyers. That said, car companies require $insane4 to start up.
Please see an ophthalmologist at your earliest convenience. The two do not look remotely the same. The R2 and R3 are outstanding (the R3 is very compact). The Lada is garbage, of course.
It is nowhere close to RAV4/Forester. It's been a while but I'm not even sure it's Golf sized (if memory serves on that as I only remember the Rabbit and the Golf likely is bigger). I imagine it's close.
I have these speakers etc to put in my car. My hubby and I agreed that they won't fit. I...
I saw it online and decided it was going to be my next car. Then, i saw it in person and realized it’s too small. It’s really lacking storage. So my next vehicle will be an R2. Both have outstanding dashes and the R3 displayed an outstanding roof tent.
That’s what ~8000 pounds gets you. It’s like hitting a tree.
The sedan had moderately severe damage. Presuming it has breakaway motor mounts, I’d call that fully severe had it dropped out. Everything other than the motor was severely damaged, not just the hood
NEVI is New York. Seems there's a vast corruption problem in that state.... (not exclusively, of course). Sounds like it's the top level of the government, not the body itself.
Since a private company is almost guaranteed to be building them, we don't fault that company? Where specifically does...
It's an air suspension. By definition it is always stressed due to the air being contained by a flexible bladder. I highly doubt the height changes will affect longevity. I'm not a pro and YMMV.
What a disingenuous statement from them!!!!!! Remove CarPlay/AA and you get MORE PHONE USE. The whole idea of CP at minimum, is to give a car oriented interface. I call maximum bullshit.
Still being on Tesla, I'm stuck with my phone which I'm not wild about. Their nav system is bad. Recently, I...
Strongly disagree “never.”
Without it we would not have electric cars as there was a gov mandate to carbon offsets which Tesla used extensively. Tesla almost ran out of cash even with it. Model 3 was a wake up to the industry and helped Rivian get industry trust for financing / investment.
We...
sometimes software releases are buggy. This one was likely rushed to get Connect+ timed with the announcement and possible ATT price increase. Hubby only recently had issues pointing to this release. I don’t hear about all of them so I could be wrong.
