My wife's EV9 lease is up this summer. We are (i.e. I am) looking at used R1S as an option when that time comes. The EV9 has been good, and ultimately she would like to keep it, but the residual is way too high ($10-12k over what similar units are listed for), and the overall experience as an...
Really considering this. Might be picking up a Gen 1 R1S for my wife. I would be the only one that uses the Comma, so I could just get two sets of mounts, and harnesses, and move it back and forth depending on which Rivian we take on trips. Definitely cheaper than the cost of lifetime...
I have had the Anker Solix F3800 for about a year and a half. I have 2 expansion batteries, and use it as a whole house backup (connected through a generator interlock, so have to manually switch it). It gives me about a day of running. Luckily I have only needed it twice, but I am happy to...
Thanks so much! That's what I was looking for.
I already have the black emblems from AO. I will try to get the trim, and keep you posted. If I wasn't already having them replaced, I would have considered doing a wrap.
Price is the same as the silver from the body shop quote, only...
It is indeed much more than swapping the connector. It is the full harness, and you will need to have something to control switching the charge path for AC/DC. For that reason alone, it won't happen in vehicles with the old electrical architecture (2022-2024), and the cost will be prohibitive...
My truck was rear ended on a trip last month. Luckily damage was limited to plastic and bumper beam (no sheet metal), which was amazing considering how the other car looked. The other driver's insurance is fixing, but I was thinking, while I am having parts replaced, why not replace with the...
I have ABC until last Friday when we moved. I am trying to get by on Level 1 for now, but am down to 31% right now. Level 2 is installed tomorrow, so that will make me feel a lot better.
Got my warning last week, the day before we moved. Of course the messages make it seem very scary ("Please make a service appointment right away. You can expect range loss until your battery is replaced. Try to stay plugged in when parked to keep your vehicle driveable.") especially to...
Since we are posting family photos.
She refuses to back in so I am in the process of moving our EVSE so that it is easier to reach the EV9 passenger rear charge inlet. Currently it is on the front wall between the two cars, moving it to the ceiling with a holster mounted on the front wall and...
I tried to get my wife into an R1S, but she didn't like how boxy it is (tried to explain that's what gives you room for people in the back AND cargo), and she did have a valid concern of both of our vehicles being 2+ hours from the nearest service center was probably not the best idea.
Ended up...
Ended up getting an EV9 Land. Very nicely equipped (more so than the Volvo, obviously the quality of materials is probably different, but the EV9 is not the cheap econo box quality of yore). Price was just too hard to pass up, with dealer discounts and incentives it is about $28k cheaper than...
