    Tesla engineer urges Rivian to move charge port location on R2, R3, R3X for Supercharger access

    Tesla must adapt to the new environment or die. Only people living in the EV bubble care about the stuff you mentioned, and 90% of the population care more about EV cost. The charge port location reduces costs for Rivian which will reduce the vehicle price at scale. Tesla will be one of many...

    Tesla engineer urges Rivian to move charge port location on R2, R3, R3X for Supercharger access

    Tesla made Superchargers pubic chargers. Now its time to adjust to your customers because only jerks expect their customers to adjust to them. So, perhaps Tesla could have added longer cords before they opened to everyone, but they care more about the bottom line instead of Tesla owners.

    How to Activate Your Rivian R1T Bed Camera With Tailgate Down While in Reverse

    See the YouTube video link if you would like to know how to activate your Rivian R1Ts bed camera with the tailgate down while in reverse. I saw on another thread that this could not be done, but I found it by accident and posted this video for anyone that wants to know how to do it:

    “New” Quad Motor R1T pricing is crazy and not sustainable (even if Cybertruck priced higher than original reveal price estimate)

    That is anecdotal and out of line with the incomes of most Americans. In any case, your disagreement is not with me, but is with the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S Census Bureau. Here is a source...

    “New” Quad Motor R1T pricing is crazy and not sustainable (even if Cybertruck priced higher than original reveal price estimate)

    If they hate rich people they sure go out of their way to emulate them. Both things can be true all at once.

    I agree. Dislike of the rich is the core of the EV issue.

    “New” Quad Motor R1T pricing is crazy and not sustainable (even if Cybertruck priced higher than original reveal price estimate)

    On my YouTube channel I made a video discussing how elitest some EV owners come off, and this is the reason half of America hates EVs. It's not the EVs they really dislike, but the people they associate with EVs. There is no need to "feel" when there is a lot of data to support my claim. The...

    “New” Quad Motor R1T pricing is crazy and not sustainable (even if Cybertruck priced higher than original reveal price estimate)

    That demographic doesn't have buying power. The majority of EV owners are in their 50s with an average income of $130,000 per year. They may want it, but they won't be able to afford it.

    “New” Quad Motor R1T pricing is crazy and not sustainable (even if Cybertruck priced higher than original reveal price estimate)

    The R1T is not a work truck, it's a lifestyle vehicle like the jeep Gladiator but its more useful than the Cybertruck. The Cybertruck is also less useful than the Hummer EV as work truck. The biggest drawback is the useless truck bed. While it is long, you will not be able to access any of the...

    “New” Quad Motor R1T pricing is crazy and not sustainable (even if Cybertruck priced higher than original reveal price estimate)

    What many EV owners fail to understand is that the true competition in the truck and SUV segment are ICE trucks and SUVs not BEVs which represents a small fraction of the market by comparison. A price war in an effort to sink Rivian would be very poor strategy on Telsa's part IMO. The fact is...

    7 major automakers launch EV charging network [Not EA] -- GM, Stellantis, Hyundai, Kia, Honda, BMW, Mercedes

    GM has said a lot of things they never followed through with. I fully expect GM and others to drop out the NACS deal. I made a YouTube video a while back predicting GM and Rivian will pull out the NACS. This will give them the excuse they need to pull out.

    Electrify America to Add NACS Connector by 2025, While Continuing CCS Support

    That is corporate speak for "keep buying our CCS cars and we will continue to evaluate the implementation of the Tesla North American Charging Standard (NACS) for our North American customers until wireless charging starts this fight all over again in 10 years.

    SAE is standardizing NACS this year – making it less dependent on Tesla

    The GM and Rivian agreement with Tesla both have escape clauses under the Free Harbor provisions of the Securities Act of 1933. Watch them delay the NACS charge port adaption and stick with CCS after enough public chargers are built with NEVI funding.

    The Competition: 2024 Silverado EV Reviews Are Here

    Poor execution for a "work truck". So, any time you have to charge while towing you will have to disconnect your trailer to back in :giggle:. Notwithstanding the fact that it will charge at half the speed and will no longer support bidirectional charging once they switch to NACS in 2025 :clap...
