That guy is a boob. Doesn't know nearly as much as he should but he has some good employees. He lost the impetus for their online presence, Corey Steuben, to Lucid. Corey led HUGE IMPROVEMENTS in design efficiency with the new Lucid Cosmos....maybe even a step beyond what Rivian has done with...
The issue with your reasoning is so few people are willing to read 4 measely paragraphs. The EV industry, as a whole, needs to find a way to distill your message into about two sentences. I'm gonna plagiarize a bit:
Stick with gas and waste more of your life and money fueling your vehicle and...
Lets see if my maths math:
R2 and Cayenne EV use PMSM's front and rear ans SiC inverters for primary drive. Thus drivetrain efficiencies should be equal.
Cayenne EV cDA = 7.65 ft^2 (0.25 cD X 30.6 ft^2 frontal area)
R2 cDA = 8.76 ft^2 (0.30 cD based on same shape as R1S X 29.2 ft^2 frontal...
Basically you're asking for 300 mi range at 75 mph.
Porsche Cayenne Electric has been tested to achieve 350 miles range at 70 mph which equates to ~310 miles at 75 mph. So there's your 4 hours. Look at this calculator.
What really should be considered is the combo of range and charge speed...
How do you pair the button to the unit? Mine's fully connected and powered up but I can't get squat to show on screen. Also, what's the mic for? It wasn't mentioned in the install video. Okay got the mic portion answered from the EVPlay webiste FAQ.
Still need the button pairing! And now...
I badly need this device to work. Without success I think I will end up selling the vehicle for some other EV with AA. Yet I like having the truck bed as I use it a lot for hauling bikes and miscellaneous loads here and there.
I just got the update and feel that it is an upgrade but still not anywhere they need to be. Still no voice control, etc., etc. I have an EVPlay on order and am hopeful that'll be the solution. I have an R1T. If were an SUV guy I probably would be bailing out on Rivian since there are quite...
With this new feature are we going to be able to give navigation instruction via voice commands? For example, in the middle of a route you press a button and say "Riri add a coffee shop along route".
Wait until a soft reset AND hard reset don't work. Happened to me this weekend on a long road trip when at a Tesla charger in Ft. Smith AR. Couldn't put it in drive or anything. Rivian told me to leave the area for 45 min so the vehicle can go night night. Had to eat a burger at Braums that...
