Yeah Gen 2. Sorry I should have mentioned that up front

0.5 kWh for 10.5 hours. I think this is the best I’ve ever seen it…

Dang maybe it’s just a fluke on my end then. I’m working the next two nights so I’ll grab some screen shots as well.

I was curious if anyone noticed this. I used to lose about 2-3%/12hrs (3-4 kwh) when parked overnight at work with gear guard on. After the update, it looks like I'm only losing .8-1.2 kwh/12hrs. I didn't see it in the patch notes, so I was curious if anyone else was seeing this while parked...

Sorry about your Rivian, but glad that you came away unharmed! My parents have a Lucid Air and an etron Gt that I’ve driven a few times. Lucid: The cabin/interior space in the lucid is really awesome. Feels more like being in an S class or something. It rides quite comfortably and is quiet...

Personally, I’d pay $60k for a BMW, but $60k for a Mach-e is not attractive to me. I’m also a car enthusiast and at that price point, I look over at the late GT350R which was $60ish MSRP and I don’t see how the Mach-E stands up to that (granted almost 10 years apart). At least the BMW sells the...

I just wish the mfgs could convince people that wagons are just lower SUVs. Lots of my friends are allergic to anything not an SUV, but most of the crossovers “SUV”s are just hatchbacks on stilts.

I appreciate that! The few people I have spoken to in person gives me only a narrow look into that thought process. Glad you bought what suited you! I think buying for your own true use case is the best for everyone!

Because the US conservative political rhetoric is currently pretty anti-EV, although that's obviously a broad brush and is not one-size fits all. I think it would take a bigger push to get that group of people into EVs and I think that bigger push is getting the price down enough that it makes...

I think EVs/auto transport are too politicized in the US for this to be that popular. I'm certain there would be "a" market for it, just not a huge one. $50k is still a lot of coin for many people, and as Mark_AZR1T said, it would probably end up being closer to $80-$100k USD by the time it...

Yeah… but those mega-depreciated Taycans look mighty fine. I wish there were more sport turismo Taycans around. The fake off-road plastic fender/trim really does not do it for me (à la Audi Allroad) It will be interesting to see how battery longevity will play out with this. I’m sure people...

Because no one wants cars like this except for people on forums like this one… Closest thing is probably a Lucid Air? But nobody buys those either sadly. I probably would have gotten one or a Taycan, instead of the Rivian if I didn’t need to tow. Love me a good wagon/shooting brake.

I can see how from a new price/initial purchase perspective, the PHEV makes sense, but I would rather have a used EV. Having to deal with typical ICE maintenance (oil changes, timing belt, etc.) in addition to automakers learning how to make BEV technology well seems like a massive compromise...

Ah, I definitely miss the older BMWs. E46 M3 was such a good looking and timeless car when I was the most impressionable. I think the pre-facelift M2s looked good, but BMW has done nothing to tug at my heart strings since the M2 comp. My wife stamped the IX3 as “definitely ugly”, so I’m...

I'm gonna jump in this speculation train for fun. I think if Rivian puts out the R2 AWD that has 300 miles and it costs $60k USD or more, the IX3 is going to be looking mighty appealing (assuming that is actually also delivered as claimed $60kish, 400 miles, etc.). I also think the BMW is...

Owner's manual says not to exceed 1000lbs on the tailgate. I think the golf cart is fine.

Ah, that’s totally fair. Although, I think if it has a 100kwh battery and does 3.5mi/kwh and gets 350 miles of range, that should be pretty adequate for most of what you listed except towing. Although, I concede that very cold weather can put a damper on things. I think Ford has suggested that...

I’m surprised by all the extra range answers. Real world 300-350 range that my R1T has would be adequate. I would seriously consider making the jump myself if: 1. R2T/ute model. I tow my car to the track and do some woodworking, so would prefer the bed and possibly better tow capacity. 2...

Because fully functional autonomy is not quite as close as everyone thinks, and in the meantime, you're still stuck driving 75% of the time. IMO, the autonomy stuff only comes in two functional flavors - 1. highway cruising + bumper to bumper traffic (basically where Rivian is at now). 2. Full...

If it's any consolation, my parents are experiencing 12v issues in their Etron GT and it has taken three service visits for them to finally decide to replace the 12v. It sounds like this has been a pretty frustrating experience for you and I think I would be equally annoyed if I were in your...
