  1. California's new $3500 EV rebate favors Rivian over Tesla due to HQ location

    The $50k will affect families considering getting a Model Y L, don't seems very democratique. It would have be nicer to have an income limitation, like $200k, in the case of the $7.5k tax rebate. Because someone able to afford a Lucid will get the $3.5k since there is no income limit.
  2. California's new $3500 EV rebate favors Rivian over Tesla due to HQ location

    They could have included Aptera, whose HQ is in Carlsbad, CA. Maybe 3-wheel and motorcycles are not included?
  3. R2 12V Battery Location - Photo

    Why not using an Li-Ion battery? Smaller, save weight and last longer.
  4. R2 Highway Efficiency Test: 80 MPH vs 70 MPH Changed Everything

  5. California's new $3500 EV rebate favors Rivian over Tesla due to HQ location

    Interesting memorable story !!! I remember seen the Marco Polo few years ago. Starting the California high-speed rail project in an area that didn't require tunneling seemed like a good idea, but the project has already taken so long and gone so far over budget that its completion is now in...
  6. California's new $3500 EV rebate favors Rivian over Tesla due to HQ location

    One reason the California High-Speed Rail (CA HSR) project is moving forward is the practical impossibility of building new airports or expanding existing ones in major California cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego. As part of efforts to reduce CO2 emissions, some EU member...
  7. California's new $3500 EV rebate favors Rivian over Tesla due to HQ location

    The requirement included in the bill, that a company must be headquartered in California, can be considered highly politically biased, IMO, given that Tesla is the only automaker with a factory in the state. In contrast, Rivian manufactures vehicles in Normal, Illinois, and is currently...
  8. California's new $3500 EV rebate favors Rivian over Tesla due to HQ location

    This is not clear to me. I previously bought a Tesla and paid everything, including insurance and DMV. But added my wife under my Tesla account, DMV, and my insurance as co-driver. Also at the time, in 2018, CA was offering a $3,500 rebate for Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP). And I...
  9. Sad, but I think I’m out

    If I don't plan to keep a car and don't want to deal with selling it, I would take a lease with no down payment and one single payment to save on high money factors and interests. This would cover cars with uncertain depreciation or maintenance cost after the warranty expire.
  10. Rivian R2 + 1Up Bike Rack - Tested

    Do you think you would have been able to open the hatch without the need to lower it, in the case of the single bike rack?
  11. Sad, but I think I’m out

    I fail to see the logic behind leasing a car, unless you run a business and can claim the vehicle costs as a tax deduction. For an individual, leasing means paying fees for three years and then returning a car that is practically new, with only 30,000 miles or less. Including extra fees for...
  12. Rivian R2 + 1Up Bike Rack - Tested

    When folded, can you open the hatch? Is so what distance will the hatch be from the rack? Maybe when you get chance, could you show a profile picture showing the hatch been a little ajar. Thnx.
  13. Garage fit for R2 (vs R1S) - Height & Width Dimensions. Does it fit in your garage?

    Is it why the Fell St was closed at Gough st? - I was wondering if there was some road work or a fair, something common in this area. Note: I attended the previous San Francisco R1S party, but Fell St was not closed, and only the Linden St connecting to the Lux Fit plaza was close to traffic...
  14. R2 Favorite Features - What's Yours?

    I would certainly like the V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) and V2H (Vehicle-to-Home) capabilities. Those could be very practical when camping or in case of power failure at home.
  15. R2 Favorite Features - What's Yours?

    My R2 favorite features would be to continue using seamlessly my current EV charging network... I mean having the NACS plug instead of CCS makes charging more simple and reliable. I am just relating to my 10+ years of experience using NACS and occasionally CCS superchargers.
  16. R2 Favorite Features - What's Yours?

    In fact it might be the opposite !!! I have an ICE with a hatchback, and sometime when carrying stuff too long to fit inside my car, I need to keep the hatch open. In this situation, when driving, I have all the exhaust smoke entering into the cabine. I guess the back of the car is like a...

    Stanford Shopping Center, next to Neiman Marcus.
  18. R2 Compact Spare tire....are you ordering it on your build?

    Tire service kit included The kit includes the tools you need to install your tire — including a jack and wheel chocks. I would be interested to see what kind of jack will be included? Note: For my Model Y, I use two scissors jacks because with only one I could not lift the vehicle without...
  19. R2 Compact Spare tire....are you ordering it on your build?

    Don't the license plate needs to be moved to be visible?
  20. R2 Compact Spare tire....are you ordering it on your build?

    If the tire has acoustic foam, the scellant cannot reach the hole and is useless.
