Jameson Dow
EV sales continue to rise, but the last year of headlines falsely stating otherwise would leave you thinking they haven’t. After about full year of these lies, it would be nice for journalists to stop...
I finally got the update this morning and spent about an hour in my truck listening to some of my favorite songs again. I thought nearly every song sounded better, but some of the Dolby Atmos enabled songs were comparable to sitting in my living room listening on a nice pair of open ear...
I picked up my 2023 R1T on 6/21/23 and since then I’ve had literally ZERO issues with it…UNTIL early April when I got a “service battery“ error message when I plugged into an EA DCFC near my place. I did a vehicle reset and the error went away and it performed normally until a few days later...
Didn't see this posted yet so I thought I would share. Given all the weird anti- EV surveys and polls out there lately I have made an effort to make sure I participate to give my opinion when invited.
Took me about 15 minutes to complete it. The questions were objective in my opinion.
As a point of perspective, 1 year ago today Rivian owners were still begging for a snow mode as they tested their vehicles during the first winter since customer deliveries started. That was added via a software update. I realize we just had an update go awry, but think about that for a second -...
Since these are EV truck/ SUV specific I wonder if they will make a 21 inch size for those folks still waiting for replacement options.
I had the A/T III on my Tacoma and really liked them. Hopefully this is equally good.
Anyone from NE Philly will appreciate this guy’s completely chill description of a major highway collapsing. I want to ask him for directions somewhere.

Somehow seeing it in action made it 10x as funny to me. The clip is from a longer drone video of Texas Gigafactory. The comedy starts around the 13:43 mark but using the InsideEVs link should allow you to start right before...

Ford is citing continued supply chain issues for the increases. Also important to note that Ford dealers will be able to keep gouging customers with additional mark up until 2024...
I’m a pretty private person - I am way happier asking other people about their lives than I am talking about myself. Over the years I have met so many people whose lives and families have been changed by cancer. I always did my best to offer help and words of encouragement but you really never...
I always enjoy the Gymkhana videos. This is the first ever run in an EV. The scenery is not as interesting as other videos, but it’s not Ken Block’s fault Las Vegas is a commercialized concrete jungle. At one point he’s doing donuts in front of A Tony Roma’s Steak & Lobster🤣 Still fun to watch...
I know some here have owned some very expensive luxury vehicles that might rival this for repair costs, but this is a GMC😬

A small Canadian company is planning to manufacture a very small number of these cool little EV adventure vans. Designed to be flat towed and only 84” wide to better travel trails full size vehicles can’t go. Not designed to be a daily driver, but still a pretty cool concept...
