I ran across this story. Hard to tell what EV this is/was. I will be curious to see if they follow-up on the charger. https://www.kplctv.com/2024/12/02/firefighters-investigating-blaze-near-frasch-park-sulphur/

This should not come as a surprise as big investments have been made for EVs. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/climate/gm-ford-electric-vehicles-trump.html

I have an extender set up and it appears that the hotspot loses connectivity when I leave the car. Is there a way to maintain hotspot connection when I leave the car? I am trying to use my Samsung freestyle so I can project the TV while tailgating, camping, etc.

Austin had an adventure y’all and Laguna had a shirt with wave. Are there any other local shirts/swag?

I noticed the RAN In Lake Charles has what appears to be a giant battery pack. I wonder if this is to provide power when the grid is down. https://cleantechnica.com/2024/10/09/what-if-a-hurricane-comes-you-only-have-an-electric-car/

VIN 21xxx, After 1 year and 7000 miles, my R1S remains nearly problem free. Upon delivery, the A-pillar had a broken clip that was repaired via mobile service. My AC drain line had a crack that had to be repaired and I got the 12v warning that required a mobile service visit. I have had two...

I know there are heaps of variables. But I am considering solar at my house. La has no time of use and net metering is at wholesale and not retail price. I drive roughly the equivalent of 10 powerwalls. Is battery backup for solar necessary for outages when you have a Rivian to get through an...

Just out of curiosity what is the highest mileage you have seen prior to replacing your 21” tires.

I should really put this out to the FB trolls but I wanted to give a huge shoutout to the Houston SC. The employees are champs. Thanks for making owning a Rivian on the gulf coast an enjoyable experience.

I brought my car in for service on Wednesday. Today they took inventory and called owners to let them know their cars are safe. Hopefully power is restored soon for all. I have not seen Spring but Kingwood is a mess. I did have a laugh that there is 90kw of battery available for them to get to...

I am 3 hours from a service and will either fly home or get a one-way rental. Service will need my car for at least a week. I am declining a rental as I have a second car. Any chance I get free RAN credits or gear?

Here we go: https://eletric-vehicles.com/rivian/rivian-vp-announces-new-features-and-upgrades-for-gen-1-vehicles/ Over the last few days, Rivian‘s Vice President of Software Wassym Bensaid took to Reddit to address questions and provide updates on the company’s Gen 1 vehicles, assuring owners...

Yes, I wish I had 1’ less of wiring and a smaller more efficient battery pack and a dimming roof. But I have enjoyed a car for $20k less than current retail and I have slightly more usable space in the frunk and soon to be extinct 21” rims. My only regret is not getting launch green with forest...

I assume I save about $1k per year on electricity vs gas and another $100 on oil changes. Therefore after 10 years I have save $11k. After 10 years my battery will degrade 20%. Would spending $10-15k on a new battery make sense? I know there are more variables to consider.

I am not sure of the damage if any but my trunk accidentally opened from my phone. I assume I did not lock the screen and the button activated on accident. My other thought is this could have been worse, parked outdoors in the rain, in a public place, or something low-hanging and a smashed...

This is a very inefficient use of time, money, and effort but a fun experiment nonetheless. The power bank is really for power outages but I thought I would have some fun with Anker’s capabilities. My next project is an array to generate 15kw per day my average driving is about 10kw per day.

EV sentiment continuous to deteriorate even among EV owners. Welcome to the EV civil war. https://www.pcmag.com/news/tesla-owner-calls-police-on-rivian-driver-using-supercharger

I thought I may need to reconsider my R1S this month as I was fully expecting a rate increase. My premium dropped $40 to $1100 for 6 months. This should cover the cost of vampire drain.

Looks like 5 spots and 1 trailer spot. Enjoy access to sonic, target, and a walk to the Casino
