    Unofficial A2Z DCFC NACS to CCS 500A / 1000v adapter YouTube review.

    When I ordered on Friday, it suggested 10-14 days. The CEO was on a X spaced chat Friday night and he indicated they are something like 5-10 days out plus shipping? But it was also acknowleged that with the hype from this weekend w/ Rivian getting access that will creep up and might be more...

    Unofficial A2Z DCFC NACS to CCS 500A / 1000v adapter YouTube review.

    Every time I hear his interviews, I feel *less* confident in his product. He regularly gets little things wrong or state them in a very confusing way. That said, it seems like he's trying to get a decent product out and the engineer he brought with him on Toms last interview did instill some...

    My First Time Seeing The Rivian R2 @ Electrify Expo Orlando! Including Pictures!!

    Agree on the Frunk. I agree with, but also laugh at the "cheap looking seats" comment in comparison to a model 3/Y.

    Towing 2000 lbs with R1T.

    Are you, by chance, talking about a T@B 320? If so, expect about 1.3mi/kWh at 70mph. 1.35-1.4 @ 65mph. Source:

    California 2022 R1S Launch Edition - Forest Green on Forest Edge - 3440 miles - $73.5k

    If at a dealership, you typically pay the dealerships local tax and the true up with your local taxes when you register. Every car I've bought out of state was with a dealership and the taxes were less than my local ones, so I paid the difference at time of registration. For private party sale...

    20" MSW Wheel w/ Michelin X-ICE Installation Experience

    Lighter would be better, but I doubt the rubber compound of the Michelins is as efficient as the Pirellis that are designed for EVs. Also, the face of the MSW is going to have a little more aero drag than the 21s. I expected a ~5% range loss. It's probably about that. Maybe I'll do a...

    Out of Spec Kyle's 4,500 mile Cybertruck review. Gives verdict vs his Rivian R1T

    Please don't watch any of the Out of Spec content in the future if it triggers you so much :p You can disagree with the opinions, but you're just namecalling for no good reason. I think it's legit to call out that this is a $120k truck and doesn't come with FSD or even Autopilot... or any of...

    20" MSW Wheel w/ Michelin X-ICE Installation Experience

    Just went to Utah and back. Saw 1.85 across the whole trip, but I was doing 80-85mph and had a LOT of wind. I do think there's a bigger efficiency drop than was reported in the other thread, but how much I definitely can't say right now.

    “Interesting” first week moving from 2022 R1T w/20” wheels to R1S Dual Max w/21" wheels

    Ha Have you considered just moving to all-season tires? I just (today) moved from 21s to 20s with Michelin Defender LTXs. On Monday I start a week+ on the road covering about 2300mi. The lack of 21" options annoyed me too much.

    20" MSW Wheel w/ Michelin X-ICE Installation Experience

    I also just swapped from the factory 21 inch wheel and tire to the MSW Type 52s but with Michelin defender LTX tires. Got it done at discount tire. These, in my opinion superior, tires are $150 cheaper per versus the 21" pirelli option. The next set of tires I buy will pay for the wheels.

    20" MSW Wheel now available at Tire Rack.

    Just got these wheels mounted with the Michelin defender LTX tires - swap from the 21" OE and pirelli scorpions. A small but noticable improvement in ride quality. Hopefully longevity as well. They clear the brake calipers about like the factory wheels -which is to say with very little...

    Rivian needs to update software fix for backup camera freezing while backing out of garage (going from dark to bright lighting)

    Fair point... it would be a first to me to know that there is meaningfully different computer hardware or firmware on different trucks. I think it's likely more of nailing down the exact circumstances in which it occurs? In any event, I'm just chiming in to say those that are experiencing it...

    Rivian needs to update software fix for backup camera freezing while backing out of garage (going from dark to bright lighting)

    Literally every day backing out of the garage for me I get a 1-3 second lag as it transitions from dark theme to light theme.

    How to stop this noise? First reverse of the day

    Has it been wet recently? My truck and my (manual) Mustang does this any time parking after getting wet. It's the brakes corroding ever so slightly and bonding pads and rotors. This doesn't happen much anymore because nobody drives manual and set their parking brakes. But since the Rivian...

    Porsche Macan EV Official Specs & Photos Revealed

    You probably hate this too then: But in all seriousness, Porsche decided a decade ago that Turbo = most powerful trims. (Basically) all 911s are turbocharged now, but they still call the top trims "Turbo".

    Porsche Macan EV Official Specs & Photos Revealed

    I agree there won't be a RWD version, but I do expect a "Macan" variant once they have sold a shit ton of Macan 4 and Turbo variants and they finally have capacity to produce a lower cost variant. So, as soon as demand wanes, we'll see a cheaper one. I mean, seriously, look how many Taycan...

    Porsche Macan EV Official Specs & Photos Revealed

    Rivian R1S is $85k+ BMW iX is $88k+ Mercedes EQE is $75k+ The Macan is going to out handle all of them and add range much faster. Yes its much smaller than the R1S, but people cross-shop lots of things, especially when the options are limited. I would definitely see $30k in value over a Model...

    Porsche Macan EV Official Specs & Photos Revealed

    I spec'd what I would actually want to buy. $94k. And I almost guarantee it will out-handle the ICE Macan. It's got a lower CoG and it doesn't have the engine entirely in front of the front axle. I have a 2017 Macan S, and while it handles better than any other SUV I know of, it is still an...

    Why the efficiency graph is way off vs real efficiency.

    I agree with your assessment and I am not even more annoyed with the graph. A graph of trailing 15 minute efficiency is arguably useful/correct. In my opinion it's a little too lagged, but whatever. But the number at the bottom that says last 15 minutes average is just straight up wrong...

    Porsche Macan EV Official Specs & Photos Revealed

    I suspect the real world numbers will be a little better than that, as Porsche always sandbags their numbers. Also, what other EV will charge as fast and have a real 300mi highway range? Porsche has never really tried to compete on acceleration numbers. I can promise this will embarrass all...
