Premium? Our Model 3 and Model Y have it; and they’re pretty far from premium.

I could understand if the actual steering wheel was light-colored... ewww 🤢🤮. But the airbag cover? Unless you're blowing the horn 24-7, it wouldn't be "ick" ;)

It's exactly the same length as my Model 3, so it'll fit in my garage :)

For people who want a crossover EV but need more passenger space than the Y can provide. Your options are pretty limited in that space if you want something somewhat reasonable. The Model X is expensive and dead. The R1S starts at $77,000. The Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9 are ticking ICCU...

But you didn't say "new" cars, just that they didn't want to make cars anymore ;) I'd argue that the market for $80,000-$100,000 EVs is treading water right now. We need lower-priced vehicles to stimulate sales. The Model Y L is an easy way to boost sales and maintain momentum while keeping...

Model Y L seems to be ready to launch in the US.... that would sell like gangbusters https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/4234/tesla-model-y-l-spotted-testing-at-fremont-ahead-of-us-launch

For me: It overall "brightens" the interior so you don't feel like you're sitting in the Batcave The lighter color helps keep the seats a bit cooler (in my observation) during the summer months, as it doesn't absorb as much heat It's just different. I've had over a dozen cars in my 30 years of...

Explain it to me like I’m 5. I’m not understanding what any of that means. Are you saying that Rivian is playing a little fast and loose with the 21-inch wheels to eke out a higher EPA rating?

Not my pictures (was posted to Facebook by C. Foley), but an R2 demo unit has already shown up at the Knightdale, NC service center. I'm tempted to drive over there myself; it's only 25 mins away. But I'm slammed with work today.

DING DING DING! That’s what keeps me coming back. A lot of these guys just sit in a chair in front of a camera, or in the front seat of their car reading website press releases, release notes for new software features, or just walk you through configuring options on the Rivian website for the...

That’s exactly what a bot would say 🤣

In the grand scheme of things, it’ll probably only be a few dozen Youtubers (out of 20,000 first year R2s) that have enough clout to be among the first to get an R2. Are we really gonna get bent out of shape over that? 😁

I know that people like to bash Youtubers, but I can’t wait for Kyle‘s review of the R2. I absolutely love his deep dives into everything related to EV’s. From batteries to range testing to every little nook and cranny that he finds in the vehicles. People even dog on his hour long videos, but...

Tesla is the only EV company that was grandfathered in here in NC. So while Rivian can have as many service centers as they want, they still can’t sell in North Carolina unless the state legislature changes things. But fat chance in that happening, we can’t even put together a state budget and...
