Never take a color you do not like just to save a few $$$ or speed delivery, it will irritate you every day for years to come. (Ask me how I know.)

Your ignorance in invincible. Peace to you.

It should get a bit better. Rivian is aiming for 70% add in 29 minutes so a 54% add in 22 minutes is a little slow but +/- 3 minutes, yes this is 400V for everyone.

Normally I do not care but so much of what you have written here is incorrect that I feel like I am obligated to try to correct the facts (I will leave the opinions alone, they are yours to enjoy) Absolutely none of that is true. Go back and re-read the SAE definition then go read the UN...

I don't know that vast majority is correct characterization there are more 800 volt chargers in the US today both in terms of stations and charging points then there were total Tesla Superchargers 5 years ago. With respect to the derate question, there is nothing about 800 volt architecture...

Thanks for posting. This is a bit lower than what I expected: adding 54% in 22 minutes (180 EPA miles). Fwiw almost identical to the Subaru Trailseeker recent video posted. The gap with the shorter range 800V systems like the Volvo P10 EX60 would add 225 miles in 16 minutes. The long range 800V...

First, that is rotten luck, very sorry. Second, Rivian needs look at this, it is a big miss. Third, as many, many others will note, there are a great many excellent ADAS systems out there beyond Tesla's - which is genuinely good. (Should probably note that Cybertrucks are available really...

The only thing (at the moment) that you do not get without A+ is (1) hands free instead of hands on and (2) automatic lane change. If it allowed you to run hands free then yes you are getting functionality you did not pay for.

Very sorry, that is rotten

The data released today is very definitive: 220.6 million rider-only miles through March 2026 across five metro areas (Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin, Atlanta) on surface streets. Each reduction compares the Waymo Driver to the average human driver in the same geographies over the...

Look at the actual data here from JD Powers. If you have the very best, MOST RELIABLE vehicle brand you can expect an average of 1.51 problems during you first three years of ownership. If you have the very worst, LEAST RELIABLE vehicle brand you can expect an average of 3.01 problems during...

You say that like being "watermelonish" is a bad thing. If there is one thing we have definitively established in this thread, it is that a watermelon-y color scheme is a specific and under-served market. I, for one, think the emerging "melon gap" with Europe is significant. Sadly, it may be...

I am totally NOT making that up. Eucalyptus green in full watermelon And if that is not watermelon-y enough then you can special order in Java Green with red interior (There is something wrong with our friends in Munich.)

I read through your list and it sounds like the one car you definitely do NOT want is a Model Y. It also sounds like the vehicle that would best tick all the boxes is the iX3. Let me help: CarPlay (your #1) - Tesla No, BMW Yes Accessories - Tesla yes, BMW even yes-er with a global fan base...

This is exactly the market IMO. It is for people who want a second or third vehicle that is highly customized and used for commuting or weekend fun. The market for this is tiny, I suspect (I would guess less than 30k a year) but it is there. For the actual entry level buyer there are much, much...

Important take-away: strong unanimous agreement that Rivian is better than Cybertruck.

Very nice. Escalade is pretty awesome. I am eyeing it for the 2028 model year when the promised Level 3 Eyes off autonomy arrives.

Still waiting. 8 days and counting. Will report back as soon as I hear (or I will do the I was wrong mea cupla).

A vehicle that does 300 miles (100% - 0%) at 75 mph only does 210 miles 10% - 80% between charging stops which, at 75 mph, is 2:45. On a warm day. Without headwinds. And no rain. IMO it is not an excessive requirement.

I have the same requirement of 300 miles at 75 mph which is really 330 miles because your (very sensible) wife I am sure means she can drive 300 miles and still have enough energy that she is not panicking as you roll into a charge station on limp mode. The only SUVs that will do that are the...
