I swear headlines these days.

So you really are not in the market for an EV yet. And probably won't be for at least a decade.

Depends upon what comes out and when. I will probably compromise at some point, but I dont know for sure.

And some of them have been "very clear" they probably couldn't buy any vehicle without Car Play. As valid as that requirement might be, why spend so much time and effort on a forum for vehicles that are almost certain never to have it?

Some people really do just need to hear themselves.

I'm a big fan of Android Auto/Car Play and not having it would be a real bummer. That said, there's already an aftermarket solution to solve that issue with Rivian. So anyone who really wants it in a Rivian can spend the money and have it.

Hmmm....Tesla Model Y $50k minus $12,500 Colorado/Federal tax credits = $37,500
my actual fuel costs first 10,000 miles: $300

That's like buying 85 gallons at $3.50/gal which moves ICE car 2,150 miles at 25 mpg. And skipping two oil changes at 5k mile intervals ($30-50 x 2 DIY).

R1T.....similar percent savings over ICE.

Seems like 2024 is the year of "anti EV" out in force...worse now than prior years.

Personally, I'll never own a Tesla. I'd rather walk.

But if cost savings is the goal, the math really doesn't add up for me in any way. And truth be told, cost savings isn't the goal when buying an $80K - 100K EV at all. An R1S the way I'd spec it would be about $95K. Even if gas went up to record high prices, I wouldn't save any money by having an R1S in place of my Jeep.

Can’t argue with that…walking is healthy for you and only minimal greenhouse emissions.

You can thank EV drivers for quieter urban environments and cleaner air to breathe. You benefit from my choice.

You're my hero. Now get up on that pedestal and stay there.
