    Bi-Directional Charging??? When???

    Cost is negligible, and it has many potential uses in emergencies. Thou protests to much. I suppose you also object to cars having to be equipped with seat belts that you don't want.

    Bi-Directional Charging??? When???

    While the original poster may have meant something different, the part that will be mandatory is that your vehicle will be capable of doing bidirectional charging.

    Fragile Windshield. On my third replacement

    I'm getting close to two years, no issues with the windshield. I'm not sure if it is true, but I've heard that not driving near big trucks reduces your chances of having a rock kicked up into your windshield. I hope you have better luck with your third windshield.

    Solar Panel for Overlanding

    I believe, based on reading the website, that it has a battery. "Battery Type: Lithium Iron Phosphate to buffer solar intermittency"

    Tesla Model Y price slashing again, and the future of RIVN

    This will make depreciation more consistent among all cars sold since everyone will be comparing to MSRP, but each individual buyer will have their own depreciation depending on what price they actually paid. In the end there is no difference in depreciation between the two sales models. If the...

    Newsom just signed sliding scale electric rates... Defeated

    Google does not agree with your title. While such a law has been proposed Google seems unaware if it has been signed into law.

    DHL piloting Rivian RDV delivery vans?

    Your statement has an error, if it is dual motor (I believe that all EDVs are now equiped with the Enduro motor) it would be all wheel drive. I believe you meant single motor front wheel drive.

    Why vehicle roof-top solar isn't practical. (Unlimited range??)

    If you assume that you are unable to get gas, there is probably some distance that carrying extra solar panels instead of fuel trucks would make sense

    Why vehicle roof-top solar isn't practical. (Unlimited range??)

    That is what I was thinking. On the Aptera it makes some sense, since the Aptera is 6+ times more efficient than a Rivian R1. To make since on a car, either the efficiency of the car or the panels needs to increase.

    Why vehicle roof-top solar isn't practical. (Unlimited range??)

    Needs context. Not practical for what? Most people don't drive more than 70 miles a day. Many rooftop solar installations get far more than 8 hours a day of sunlight. Also, per google average solar panels are currently from 250w to 400w, so you are also using the lowest quality panel.

    Portable Charger Stopped Working

    Check it on multiple outlets that you know are working. Then report to service. My portable charger never worked and they sent me a replacement after having me test it on various outlets.

    Pasadena Charging

    If you want to go a little bit away from Pasadena, there are a couple of Volta Charges in Monrovia (504 west Hunting Drive 91016). They are slow (9kw) and often in use, but free, at least the last time I used them.

    Rivian Van Mock Ups

    I would disagree. The postal vehicle makes the cybertruck look attractive.

    Regenerative braking - revisited

    The question I would ask is how many of the people who don't like the regenerative breaking have driven a manual transmission extensively? I think driving the Rivian is very similar to driving with a manual transmission. It took me a very short time to adjust.

    RJ suggests Rivian leasing coming soon, unlocking $7,500 EV tax credit

    Leasing depends on your situation and the deal you get on the lease. Many people who use the vehicle for work, can write off part of the lease on their taxes.
