The operational costs include things like oil changes, tuneups, brake pad changes, all of which also take your time and money for ICE but are non-existent (or almost non-existent for brake pads), and can be calculated into the price per mile. I save way more time charging at home than I spend...
Given the option to go from Large to Max at purchase is $7K, that seems unlikely. May as well say āwhat if itās $20k, or $30k?ā
Nonetheless, having the option still beats not having the option, and right now Rivian does not have the option. Every time Iāve ever made an inquiry about my Large+...
My wife's Audi Q8 has a instrument cluster display like this, and I surprisingly found it to be less helpful than I'd hoped. I guess it just depends on personal preference, and hard to say whether it would be more or less helpful to someone new to EVs, but just having 4 dashes for 100%, 75, 50...
"deliberately mis-stating" is also putting words in one's mouth, no? Or at the very least, intent. Looking at your first post in this thread, we can infer you may have "deliberately" mis-stated a few things, too. "waste", "give me this crap" (it's a public forum, not directed at you), "designed...
Iāve been monitoring my DCFC sessions. And itās such a mixed bag already because there are so many variables that affect how speedy a session can be. That said, my first DCFC after the last update I saw my charge speed from 82 to 88 SOC stay above 100kw. Iāve never once gotten above 100 after 82...
We got ours in Sept. Dual Large+.
We have already driven it over 13k miles.
There are a couple of things I would likely want to schedule a service visit to take care of but Iāve been avoiding it. They arenāt critical - or at least appear to not be. Wind noise in the front left and right...
If you sincerely think that:
70s: Trying to figure out which track of my 8-track has Aqualung on it, no wait, thatās not it, maybe itās a different one, or trying to dial in AM790 because it keeps on getting static but the dial usually has a perfect sweet spot and I know Iāll find it
80s: fast...
I got my 2.1 pad today, but the wiring harness is a different connector from my Gen 2 R1S.
Iām not sure if I should start cutting wires and splicing it(thereby cutting off the OEM connector in the process) or if OpenSource EV may have sent me a version with the wrong connector. Iāve reached out...
But isn't that, too, comparing apples to oranges?
When I plot out a road trip via gas or EV, I'm not concerned with national averages, I'm concerned with averages on *that* trip. The same with electricity prices. If the average per kwh is $0.35 in my area, it doesn't matter that it's $0.12...
Flip that on its head... keeping that cubby is really going to send the company into a tailspin. Wow. / s
The ridiculous over-apologizing for this company boggles the mind. The company makes a product, and has regularly slashed features from that product. Scrutinize and question change...
This was one ātankā of normal driving for me. It consists of two days commuting to work at 80 miles total each day, and the rest around town for errands and kid stuff. I regularly see these types of numbers, though because we also take our R1S on long road trips. the lifetime mi/kwh is about...
Iāve thought about cheap steel wheels and snow tires, but weāre just not in this area at this time of year often enough to warrant it. Most other anecdotal reports Iāve read from owners on Sport All-Seasons suggests good results. I also had good results up here with my old Cayenne on...
At our place in Utah and itās been off and on dumping snow. The R1S seems at home here and has done great. Weāre on 22ā Sports.
Edit: The tires only have 9100 miles on them. So Iām assuming if they somehow last until next winter my experience wonāt be quite as positive.
Itāll be interesting to see if the .43 update helps those estimates. From the very first time I ever charged my Gen 2 R1S the estimates have been out-of-whack. Telling me Iāll get from 6 to 100% on my 40A (50A) L2 charger in 6 hours? DCFCs are a bit of a different kettle of fish because any...
Yeah this is quite annoying, or it seems like the settings it does remember may not be the settings I Saved at. I find I need to switch to my wife's driver profile and then back to mine again, probably every 2 or 3 times I drive the car.
