It has 2 hots and a ground. I can’t replace the outlet only. I would need to run a neutral from the box to the receptical, and the EMT isn’t big enough for that.

Since we’re on the subject, a question for the electrical guys. My older Seimans ESVE uses the NEMA 6-50 plug/receptical. It will eventually die, and the replacement will be a 14-50 unit. There are 14-50p to 6-50r adapters. Anyone use them? My breaker is 40A, so I’m getting 32A which is enough...

Those charging EVs with charge ports not conveniently located for the Tesla chargers (like my Q8 Etron, awaiting an R2) appreciate the RAN, EV America, etc. superchargers. The L front port location makes the Tesla superchargers difficult, and usually, but not always, means taking 2 spaces. 90%+...

Same with me, driving solo I don’t care, but with my wife it’s another issue. However, with 80-90% local driving, and a 400 mile range, with BMW handling and performance, I’m still going to consider it. Hopefully a lightly used somewhat depreciated one.

The charge port is passenger rear. That will make Tesla chargers difficult? I know there are good alternatives, but some areas I travel make using the Tesla system convenient. R2 is driver rear, I believe.

Thx

190” would be OK. So, no spare anywhere at that length? Which isn’t a big deal except for off roading.

The SUV is pushing 210”, too big for my tastes. As ranges approach 400 miles, for me an ICE backup is unnecessary. R2, Q6, ix3, and Volvo ex 60 (stated 400 miles) are perfect. We have a RAV4 prime when needed.

Sweet! And, you’re sticking it to the man with the free charging.

From this, I learned there is a Q8 Etron refresh. Production halted previously at the 2024 model. I bought a used one a couple of months ago.

My lease was ending 11/26. I was probably mid pack in my R2 deposit. I was pretty sure it wasn’t going to happen, and I had a very cheap prepaid lease on an Equinox EV (fed $7500, Costco, etc) so I sold the lease on Swap a Lease, bought a like new Audi Q8 E-Tron for $38k. I really like it, but...

I get it that they should do better. But that husband/wife profile thing is truly a first world problem, isn’t it?

Not a Rivian owner (R2 listed) but as far as Audi and BMW, the Q6 and the upcoming iX3 are similarly sized and compare to the R2m not the R1S. I have a (Used) Q8 Etron which is a great driving car, but a less than perfect road tripper due to range and port location. Using Tesla’s chargers can be...

I bought a used 2024 Q8 Etron while waiting for the R2. But, I may stretch that out to the R3X, as I do like driving the Etron.

I decided to wait a bit, maybe a year +, to let some bugs out of the R2. The lidar stuff adds to that. I bought a like new Q8 2024 Audi Etron for now. They are great deals IMHO.

I didn’t think my ordered R2 would be available for 12-18 months, so I bought a 2024 AudiQ8 etron. The technology isn’t class leading for sure, but it rides beautifully, has a wonderful interior, is rated at 285 mi range, and at $38k with 20k miles I won’t take a beating if I do end up moving...

That’s me! I had an early order on an R1S but we decided it was just too big. Now awaiting an R2. But an Audi Q6 lurks there, get a lightly used one for $10k+ off by the time the R2 is out. The R2 looks much cooler, the trimotor a rocket ship. But I don’t want to be waiting 3 months for a...

I think I’m sunk for a 11/26 delivery when my current EV lease is up. Might buy a used place holder for a year or 2, maybe get the kinks out anyway. I’m in if it’s available.

Because of poor EV resale values, I’ve become a used vehicle shopper. When my Equinox EV (a “place holder”) lease expires next year, my first choice will be a lightly used Audi Q8 Etron, if my R2 isn’t available and I’m not convinced it will have long term reliability. The Audi isn’t the newest...

I’d look hard at a used etron gt, but the range isn’t there. If my R2 isn’t ready when my current lease is up 11/26, I’ll get a used Low mileage q8 etron. Road trip!
