Yeah, the Colorado EV tax credit gold rush is no more my friend. In 2020, between Fed and State I was able to recoup about 12 grand off a Polestar 2, today you might get $750 on an R2, nada on R1. Maybe if you're a barista trying to trade in your 2014 Wrangler for a used Leaf...

Gen1/Gen2 R1 doesn't have FCTA. Had it on my Landcruiser. Don't have the Landcruiser anymore (not specifically because of FCTA but it was a factor). My opinion - if Rivian had FCTA there'd be multiple 10 page threads bitching and moaning about what a PIA it is. Like a lot of nanny-ware on...

Yeah, you're probably right, most here probably didn't want to read an editorial that faults the sky for being blue and grass for being green. A) there's no such thing as an objective opinion. Presenting one's ideas as such is a bit obnoxious right out of the gate, particular on an enthusiasts...

Yeah, while I can stretch my imagination and semi-understand where the paranoia around the CPC having access to some information the car might be collecting comes from, realistically what can they be harvesting that Android Auto, Car Play, my phone, my Television, not to mention any number of...

Had a launch edition P2 as a daily drive for 4 years, never had a problem with it except it ate tires like Oreos and the range was insufficient when my work situation changed. I found that the build quality was exceptional and on par with ICE vehicles of equivalent and higher price (the wife's...

Not sure what the point is in coming to an enthusiast forum to argue their enthusiasms are misplaced, but whatever, to each their own...

We have an R1S (2026) and an iX (2024), so not an identical comparison, but close. We've had X3s and X5s in the not so distant past, so pretty familiar with BMW SUVs. I put in between 1500 and 2000 miles a month on the R1, now almost 10k, the Bimmer has 35k. I've not driven an R2. Neither...

The last time I scored a $300 windshield replacement on a new car I had to use an actual key to open the doors and ADAS was using your crotch to steer because it took two hands to use the cigarette lighter to spark up your bong.

If you flip your vehicles every 3-5 years it's not worth it but... A ten year/125k warranty on a current model year R1 runs about $4000 today. Maintenance on EV's, when they go right, is likely to be far less expensive than on an equivalent ICE vehicle but repairs (particularly on a low...

Right there with ya!

I'll respectfully disagree. I too have done a few laps around the interwebs and have been on many different vehicle forums and there's nothing here that you can't find on similar boards for Toyota, Lexus, Land Rover, BMW, Volvo, etc. They all have their lurkers, their fan boys, their...

I was an early Polestar adopter - had a LE Polestar 2 shipped to Denver about 6 months ahead of the first Space to pop up here and a couple of years ahead of when the local Volvo dealers finally stopped acting like I had walked in and threw a dead animal on the counter every time I needed...

This is why it's best to stick to the philosophy of buy the vehicle for what it can do for you now and not for you hope (or what someone promises) it might do in the future (well, maybe a little 'cause it's fun to dream). Designed obsolescence is foundational to the consumer economy since, well...

When the regulatory environment flips 180 degrees every 4 years there is no long game.
