We'll actually be getting a pilot project with Costco charging soon with the RAN opening in Atlanta s00n across the parking lot from the busiest Costco in town.

I can't imagine Costco ever doing an all out push to install charging, especially Level 3. They'd either have to charge above market rates (in which case people grumble) to keep lines down, or they'd charge market rate or below and you'd end up with lines that make one wish for their gas lines...

Okay.

As has been discussed in this thread, there's a difference between acceptable reliability levels for launching rockets and acceptable reliability levels for roadside vehicle fueling. The former number is not acceptable for the latter.

I mean, There's a difference between purchasable and deliverable. Could easily start taking orders on 8/31, even if service centers won't have them for another month+.

Bless their hearts. Even if someone were to grant that SpaceX is reliable (it's not reliable enough as has been discussed), everyone that touches a rocket by and large has spent 10+ years between undergrad, advanced degrees, etc studying rockets. Not so much an EV charger. All it takes is...

Appreciate the update and the photo! You wouldn't be willing to measure the distance between those two bolt holes, would you? Thanks!

A couple questions here - any developments on a product for the R1S? And is there anywhere I can get more information on the mounting mechanism and/or the ability to swap out the stock/Spider mounting mechanism with something (DCE or otherwise) that leave the factory Rivian mounts in place?

The R1S's evil doppelganger, clearly.

Absent California doing silly California things, this would be enough to require commercial registration and insurance in any number of states.

My answer to that (or similar snark) is usually to point out that it goes 0-60 in 3 seconds.

This is not "right to repair"; there is no federal "right to repair", and even if there were modifying a vehicle isn't covered. This is a Magnusson Moss Act issue; a federal law from the 70's that among other things says a warranty can't be voided as the result of owner modification unless the...

No they're not. Like most Chinese infrastructure, their roads are garbage quality that look pretty but have a fraction of the lifespan of western roads. They then charge extortionary prices to third world countries that are JUST starting to realize how screwed they are for taking Chinese...

That's exactly what this thread is about. You keep trying to make that point, and you're still wrong. And you'll continue being wrong until the federal government replaces it's portion of gas tax revenue with some form of VMT tax that is charged to EV owners as well as ICE owners. As it...

No it's not. You're complaining about Texas offsetting lost fuel tax revenue with a new fee. I'm not going to provide you a crash course on how federal gas tax funds are distributed, but needless to say, federal gas taxes collected in Texas are pretty much all passed through to Texas for...

If you're not completely making that up (I assume you are, but for the sake of argument) then those roads were built by the Chinese.

The federal gas tax is parceled out to the states now. Formula for funds distribution is already in place; that wouldn't be controversial at all really.

20 cents per gallon is your state tax. Federal is 18.3 cents per gallon for a total of 38.3.

Passed through tonight. s00n.

Yes. Blaming Congress for something that is 100% outside their purview (as the original post did) is completely unhelpful in terms of actually getting anything done. The North Carolina General Assembly is just that; it's not Congress. It's not a Congress. No one calls it that, and if you...
