My insights are from having a spouse that works in that area of the state government, but has no involvement with this program at all. So I'm just guessing at time frames based on a general idea of how these things work. See the recent news release here...

Keep in mind that this is the state government. The funds for the program were approved in the state budget, but the actual implementation of the program is still be developed. The folks working on the implementation are in discussions with all EV manufactures to determine if they will...

IMHO, OPD isn't good or bad, it's different. Over the years, I have driven various EVs but only for fairly short periods of time. A short drive here and there. Long enough ago that I can't really member if they had OPD or not. On my R2 demo drive, I played around with the various regen levels...

I wouldn't expect real-time traffic/road condition data with no cellular, but our other vehicles with built-in nav can do route planning and turn-by-turn guidance without a cellular connection. Given that they make a big deal of the R2 being off-road capable and an "Adventure" vehicle, to lose...

On our demo drive, we were told that maps and navigation would continue to work when no cell service was available. In the Owner's Manual, it states that the maps are cellular based, but will continue to work outside of cell coverage at reduced detail (whatever that means). I have that same...

Yesterday, my wife and I made a road trip to the Yosemite Charging Outpost in Groveland for a demo drive. We've both driven EV's before but have not owned one. The overall experience was very positive. It was our first time seeing one in person and it looks really nice. Nothing felt or...

We just did a demo drive yesterday and should have brought a tape measure with us. We'd be replacing a 4Runner and one of semi-common things it's used for is hauling wood (sheet goods and hardwards). A 4x8 sheet of plywood will fit in the back of our 4Runner (lift gate up). But I don't believe...

Yeah, her co-workers question that a lot. She's had the chance to drive various electric vehicles for years, but none of them were what she wants to drive. Her daily has always been a coupe and for many years it's been a BMW coupe. Usually one that's one step down from an M. We do some...

Hi All, I'm Bob and I just joined after putting down a reservation for an R2. Both my wife and I are car people and currently have 6 cars which pretty much maxes out our available space to park them. My wife works for the California Air Resources Board and has spent a lot of her time there...
