    Porche can sell you a car with 0-60 in 3.1 and a range of 233 miles for only $163,400K

    I have an '23 R1T and a '23 Taycan Cross Turismo 4s. I have taken each vehicle to some of the most beautiful places on western half of this continent, so I appreciate each vehicle. However, each vehicle serves a different purposes for me, and I love each car for what it does. The Taycan is a...

    RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

    I drive to Houston multiple times a year from Denver to see family and never use the EA charger in Wichita. Charge up to 80% at the EA in Salina, KS and that will get you to the EA charger in Blackwell, OK. Do the same on the return and you skip going 20 miles out of your way to charge at...

    Southern Utah desert is also a charging desert

    The Tesla charger in Green River is a V2 charger, so max speed of 150kW. Only V3 and future V4 Tesla superchargers will be available to a non-Tesla vehicles. You will have to rely on the EA charger in Green River to get from GJ over to the I-15 junction via I-70 until the State of Utah get's...

    NACS still a BIG differentiator for Tesla - not what I hoped for

    I have done over 100,000 miles and been to 16 states west of the Mississippi since 2019 in either a Rivian, a Porsche, or an Audi electric vehicle. I have only been stranded once in that time, but Porsche got me towed and up in running in no time. The Tesla supercharging network, when and...

    My experiences with Major issue while traveling

    The post stopped being about a Rivian when you posted pictures of your kills while "hunting." You shot two large basically domesticated animals in an open field. Stop trying to be a tough guy boasting about your "hunt" when a real hunter who has actually spent time in the back country...

    My experiences with Major issue while traveling

    All that vehicle drama and you went hunting for cows????? All camo'ed and you guys shot a cow in an open field with a dirt road through it?????? I have absolutely no issues with hunting, but I would have a little more pride than have my picture taken with a cow I shot in an open field with a...

    Wasatch Range Anxiety

    What route did you take? Elevation gain, speed, and cooler temps always dictate taking the long way to hit an extra charger even if you think you don't need it. I would have spent the extra 30 minutes to an hour and gone home via Salina just to hit the charger there. Or gone through Price...

    Out of Spec's Kyle gets over 450 miles from a new Porsche Taycan prototype

    The Taycan is already the king of charging. I am in the middle of a 2,500 mile road trip in my 2022 Taycan Cross Turismo 4s and I have been hitting initial 260kW speeds ups to 50% or 55% battery levels on most of the Electrify America chargers I have hit in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and...

    My cold weather charging experience.. not great.

    Southern Utah desert is also a charging desert

    Much of the blame for the lack of charging infrastructure in Southern Utah can be blamed on the State of Utah. The State understands the economic benefit the national parks bring to Utah, so why not help facilitate EV charging in the area? No charging company will want to place high speed...

    my R1S charging nightmare

    Man, after reading the comments on this thread, remind me to keep any potential Rivian issues to myself!! Especially the self inflicted ones!

    Rivian acts of kindness - found matchbox on vehicle

    Brian, I live in central Denver. If I waved every time I saw a Rivian I would be waving more than the parade queen at a 4th of July parade! I am not a bad person, I promise!

    Max Pack vs Large Pack range test (by Out of Spec)

    On my next drive from Denver to Lawrence, KS I plan to try the 100kW charger in Goodland since I have not used it before. If it is reliable, and easy to use, I am planning making that my last charging stop on the return drive back from Lawrence to Denver. In regards to more charging options...

    Max Pack vs Large Pack range test (by Out of Spec)

    You probably know this, but make sure you time your stops to hit the Burlington chargers instead of the Electrify America chargers in Flagler. That EA charging location in Flagler has to be the worst in the network. I made this mistake on my drive from Lawrence, KS back to Denver in...

    Dual motor Performance max battery R1T delivery.... and failure.

    Sorry to hear about your troubles. I bought my R1T in June, and it has been to the Denver service center 7 times since I purchased it. I have the mobile van coming out this Friday to repair a faulty airbag, so I will count that as an 8th visit, even though they are coming to me. Good luck...

    Absolute Basics of Charging Stations and On the Road Charging

    You have gotten some great advice on charging during a road trip, but you also need to remember the impact of high speeds, elevation change, and weather have on your range while on road trips. The faster you go the lower your efficiency will be, which will negatively impact your range. You...

    navigation system the worst there is.

    I have a little bit of a different view point. Absolutely nothing is perfect - except for maybe Pamela Anderson in the early 90's - so you pick the vehicle that works best for what you need. I prefer a vehicle that has feel and is confident on the road. Both my cars feel that way, but...

    Road trip: New Orleans to Key West (long!).

    To start with, I am glad the trip went well so far. Second, seems like you really need this vacation/time off. If you are on the internet admitting to eating at a "good Mexican restaurant in mall" in Florida it maybe time for that mental reset that comes with time off. Us folks in the...

    Fast Company article: Tesla’s Cybertruck has a serious problem that only a complete redesign can fix

    “The Cybertruck is a low polygon joke that only exists in the fever dreams of Tesla fans that stands high on the smell of Elon Musk’s flatulences.” This. We can only hope that the Cybertruck bombs and becomes such an financial drag on Tesla that they are forced to spin off the Supercharging...
