    Lectron vortex adapter (level 3 supercharger to CCS)

    Anyone pre order a lectron vortex adapter? Seems like a decent backup option if it works at most superchargers. I think we expect a rate premium at Tesla chargers and both Tesla and rivian will need to allow this to work. So some concerns about how soon this will actually be an option...

    Rivian mentioned in Michael Connelly's new book

    Just finished Michael Connelly's (Bosch, Lincoln Lawyer, Blood Work, etc,) latest book "Resurrection Walk". Kinda neat that a Rivian was mentioned briefly in one sequence late in this crime novel, apparently a Rivian is not a great choice if you want to be inconspicuous......

    Service Center Cautionary Tale (or perhaps my mistake)

    Took my R1T to the Atlanta SC last week, about a 5 hour, 250 mile trip. Addressed A/C problems, charging error messages, and bad alignment. They did other stuff because they had access, lubricated tonneau cover, front grill blind (whirring/grinding sound), checked molding, key fob update and...

    Bad(?) range estimates and vampire losses.

    Unfortnately, my "vampire" losses have been pretty bad lately (before the range estimate error mentioned below started today). I drive 20-30 miles/day, charge to 70% when I get to 30-40%. If I compare miles per kwh with what I'm actually put into the truck every 3-4 days to get it back to...

    Took a short trip this weekend, drove up to Blowing Rock, NC, nice area, Blue Ridge mtns, etc. Nice drive, lots of winding narrow roads. I think the R1T is about as big of truck as I'd want for trips. But it was fun to drive around the area. I used the R1T map for routing, worked...

    Demand for used EV's.....It's only just beginning.

    The rise of brand new, second hand electric vehicles (this story is posted both at Wired and ArsTechnica) No surprise in this forum, 2nd hand EV's are popular. Some semi-interesting quotes: David Cottrell got his $39,999 Tesla Model Y last February. The compact electric hatchback was a...
