@RedDragon thanks for sharing! A very interesting option to consider. How stable are the bikes? Think it's sufficient to handle a fast drive on logging roads without the bikes shifting too much?
I find it very odd that there's still so much work and tuning still happening on battery charging. What has Rivian been doing the last few years? I guess this was mostly just PR fluff: https://stories.rivian.com/cold-weather-testing
In the Motortrend article:
They sure are sticking to that statement 😆, and then only have themselves as a reference. I trust Kyle from the Out of Spec folks MUCH more (and simple logic).
You can thank the spammers for this. It's hard to email lot of people without getting blocked or marked as spam. You have to build up your reputation slowly over time otherwise the algorithms cut you off. Crazy world out here in tech land.
Welp, we can see now why Rivian kept quoting that 20 min charging speed.
Since I wanted a road trip vehicle, I'm quite happy to have my order delayed until the hopefully next generation of hardware or software.
Yeah, a bit of a mess, and they didn't even do that for everyone. My Canadian order still shows in USD. I'd love to pay in USD and not pay the extra few percent they snuck in there when making CAD pricing, but I'd bet that won't happen in 202? when I finally get my delivery.
