  1. R1S trip to Lake Tahoe

    I'm curious: why did you feel the need for AP mode while climbing I-80 when it was not snowing?

  2. WTF Utah?

    Yes, sorry; you are correct. There's a RAN planned/coming to Cheyenne. But not there yet.

  3. WTF Utah?

    This is exactly my point. Some of the best owner videos posted of Rivians have been from adventures in Utah. And there are zero RANs in the whole state. WTH.

  4. WTF Utah?

    I just also realized that WY is just as bad. Actually kinda worse, because the only RAN is in Cheyenne; diametrically opposite from Yellowstone/Tetons/Jackson region.

  5. WTF Utah?

    One single waypoint (slow) charger in the whole state of Utah? With all that amazing outdoorsy stuff to do in the state, from skiing to canyoneering, to MTB'ing Moab... like more national parks per capita than anywhere in the world.... UTAH? Who's fault would this be, Rivian's, or Utah...

  6. R1S trip to Lake Tahoe

    There's an REI there too... just sayin'. :D

  7. R1S trip to Lake Tahoe

    Yeah, basically same mindset for me. I'm also looking at this car being our primary vehicle for ski trips during the winter, which as you indicated, includes the roof box on top, driving from San Jose. Probably stopping in Sacramento for 10-15min will be in the cards on the way up, and on the...

  8. R1S trip to Lake Tahoe

    Which model will you be driving, dual or quad? Dual gets about 30mi more range nominally. Not sure how much this will translate to extreme conditions like snow & hills. I bought my Tesla S75 new in late 2017. I thought the 75 battery would be plenty for me. After a few years of owning it...

  9. R1T v Cybertruck side by side real life photos

    That may be true, but does not mean they won't be able to deliver a (Tesla rated) 500mi range pack. Whether they choose to or not is another story. When the plaid model S was announced, you could pre-order it with a 500mi range. Then they decided to nix that. It was going to have a (IIRC)...

  10. R1T v Cybertruck side by side real life photos

    This just caught my eye because I find it interesting that total drag force (including wheel & transmission, etc.) *IS* efficiency. Did you know that? I'm a units geek, admittedly. But I think it's pretty nifty. Efficiency in the Tesla UI is Wh/mile = Power / speed = (Energy/second) /...

    6'2" You have nothing to worry about. Is there ANY car you're too tall for? I'm 6'7" and truly need to measure to the inch how much leg and head room I get in any car. Anyway, I believe Franz who designed the CT and most Teslas, is 6'5" so you'll be fine.

  12. R1T v Cybertruck side by side real life photos

    People loved the o.g. VW Bug and still do. The Pinto had more get up than any (stock) Bug ever did. It's not always about oomph. :) That said, the Bug was nifty looking. The Pinto... ? yeah, no.

  13. R1T v Cybertruck side by side real life photos

    Solid take.

  14. R1T v Cybertruck side by side real life photos

    This assumes Tesla won't deliver on the "up to 500mi range" option, which is STILL on the CT website. If they deliver a 450-500mi range CT, that will easily out-do Rivian towing range, and will absolutely be the EV of choice for people who need/want to tow stuff, regardless of looks.

  15. R1T v Cybertruck side by side real life photos

    Meh. I've strongly disliked Elon ever since his "pedo-guy" comment during the Thai cave incident. He just kept getting worse in my view since then. I highly dislike the guy at this point. I still like the company and the cars though. As well as my solar+PW system. I also respect how he...

  16. R1T v Cybertruck side by side real life photos

    This is my take as well. If they get the pricing close to what they announced originally, it'll be the highest value EV truck on the market. I'm not sure I'll love the looks (likely won't) but not sure I care for a truck as much. As long as its highly functional for my needs (spacious seating...

  17. R1T v Cybertruck side by side real life photos

    I guess any SUV including the R1S is out of the question for you then, too. Any sedan as well. Basically you can only own a traditional pickup truck. Kinda weird to have such a limiting "needed feature" but ok. :)

  18. Kia EV9 Pricing Announced

    Curious how you arrived at the "half the charge time" comparison? 20min vs 40min for what amount of charging? How much range or KWh added? Is this really apples-to-apples? 200kwh is an amount of energy, not a charging rate or speed. I assume you meant 200kw. If both can charge at about...

  19. Kia EV9 Pricing Announced

    Sorry, but if I'm spending 10's of thousands of dollars on ANYTHING, it should not be on any list that says "well, at least it's not as ugly/bad as xyz" If it's ugly at all, IMO (my money afterall) I'm not considering it. Rivians are gorgeous vehicles. The styling and design of them is a HUGE...

  20. Kia EV9 Pricing Announced

    The price is attractive, yes. Too bad the car isn't.
