    In 4th year of waiting ... beginning to question if the wait is worth it

    I was an early reservation holder, but I grew tired of waiting by 2020. When the Taycan was officially announced, I contacted the local dealer. Total wait time (from contacting the dealer to receiving the car) was less than one year. I'd still like a Rivian, but I was going for the R1S which...

    Driving 1000 Miles in 3 Cars: Gas Vs Electric

    I do have the EA app, but....since Porsche (being part of the VW group) has free charging at EA stations (first 30 min is free for the first three years of ownership), I haven't created an EA account. There's no point in spending even a small monthly fee when I don't need to. Although, it does...

    ? Official EPA Range and MPGe Numbers for R1T & R1S

    I put in a reservation for an R1S in January 2019, but by the end of the year I was just getting impatient. I had my previous car for over 10 years at that point and just wanted something new, preferably an EV. Rivian made me truly excited about the possibility, so I had a lot of research done...

    Driving 1000 Miles in 3 Cars: Gas Vs Electric

    Agreed, that is probably my only complaint with Plugshare. It doesn't have real-time info about availability. ABRP might, but not in the free version.

    ? Official EPA Range and MPGe Numbers for R1T & R1S

    Yes, the worst range I've seen from my Taycan was 200 miles, and that was in the middle of winter with temps around 0 F. Most of the time, my range is in the 260-280 range, but I've seen posts/reviews from other people that have managed over 300 miles on a single charge. I just can't drive...

    Driving 1000 Miles in 3 Cars: Gas Vs Electric

    As most people have mentioned, ABRP and Plugshare are essential for non-Tesla EVs (in my experience). I have only used the in-car navigation (for charging) a couple times, and only for local chargers where I know the status and reliability. For road trips, I use the ABRP/Plugshare combo. ABRP...

    Possible Tax Credit Loss

    Well, it is Illinois. The state seems to thrive on more, and higher, taxes (or fees, because those aren't "taxes") whenever there's an opportunity.

    Rivian makes cursory attempt to update pre-order holders

    I am a bit disheartened to agree. I don't have a reservation for the Mach-E, but I've been seriously considering the Porsche Taycan because I'd likely get it much sooner. It's not an SUV, but my girlfriend doesn't like SUVs anyway, even if they're electric (and I don't need an SUV). The...

    R1S roof options: glass, 2-piece removable composite, standard fixed roof

    My guess is that they won't offer a sun screen/shade because of the electrochromic glass option (user-controlled transparency....well, at least between opaque and transparent--I don't know if there are options to have any middle-of-the-road setting). I wouldn't mind being incorrect with that...

    0-60 in 3 seconds: are you OK with that?

    At risk of forming a tangent, I have shared this concern. I've been bracing myself to only have about 350 miles of real world range with the 180 kWh battery pack, just so I'm not too disappointed when it isn't over 400.

    Video: Rivian R1T is more aerodynamic than any other pickup truck in the world

    I found another video that seems to indicate a cover for the stadium lights. I'm sure most (all?) of the members of this forum have seen it, but perhaps didn't notice because we're accustomed to seeing the reflection (and it's an older video, being made at the L.A. release). Starting at about...
