Thread title should have said "EV charging infrastructure ruins my trips". The other people out there are just trying to get home, same as you. Nobody is trying to inconvenience you personally on purpose. It's hard enough convincing most people to make the switch to EVs. Then after they do so...

A small update: I test drove a Chevy Bolt EUV last night and it left me feeling depressed. The cruise control/lane keeping was bad compared to my Honda. These dinosaur car companies nickel and dime you on things that should be standard by now. With seats down, the vertical cargo space was at...

I'm pretty disappointed by the frameless glass. I assume they're going to have to do the Tesla thing where the motor rolls the window down slightly any time you want to open the door? I hate that. It's so pointless, and creates safety issues (the door is harder to open if the window motor is...

There are (or there used to be) plenty of small cars with great crash ratings, but nobody pays attention to that. Consumers intuitively feel that “bigger = safer” and car companies leverage this fear as part of their marketing strategy. I guess it’s just a coincidence that bigger cars are also...

I would personally never consider an R2 (or R1). Way too big. If not for R3, I wouldn't even look at Rivian. Bigger cars are more popular, that's for sure. I'm not convinced they're more practical. Indeed. I like California, though :) More bikes on the road makes every bike safer, so thanks...

I've always been frugal with cars because I've never cared about them before. This one has changed that. Sounds crazy, and maybe it is. I've spent some time researching EVs, and it's been a huge disappointment so far, until the R3. I'm not interested in literally anything else in the US market...

First, let me get this out in the open: I am not a “car person”. I don’t think I have ever wanted to buy any particular car before in my life. I’ve always thought of a car as a begrudgingly necessary tool. I hope to never own more than one car at a time. I don’t even like driving. And I think...
