Tesla loses a lot of range in the cold, all EV's do. They'll gain it back as battery heats up with use. The heat pumps some have help when you drive over 30 miles and there is waste heat to use to heat battery. But the 40% estimate is a good one. Got to work one day (50 mile one way) with...

As it says CONTACT DEALER. Your reservation date has nothing to do with when you'll get the vehicle. It's all about which dealer you chose and how they prioritize customers and how much they'll charge. I'm first day reservation but chose the "wrong" dealer so I'm in 2024 sometime, maybe. When...

Those of us with pre March 1 Rivian orders can flip for $20-$30k. With Ford likely running out of the EV tax credit by '24 when dealer tells me I'll see my first day reservation order will show up, I can likely buy and flip that for $5k, same premium we see now on Kia EV6's. The dealers are...

Lotta friends with monster lifted pickups. If I could afford the Hummer, it would be the bomb. I could crush them all.

First day reservation and I didn't even get the promo emails...but I might have unsubscribed.

Best adaptive would be being able to aim lower when towing. Always get flashed towing as people think you have high beams on and that means it is in their eyes and limiting their vision, not safe.

"based on the average U.S. grid" All utilities offer sustainable zero emissions energy which then shows the EV's reduce emissions 90% vs. similar ICE vehicles. Also, all the new battery plants and EV mfg plants going in are zero net emissions which pushes the EV's reduction into the 100%...

It turns out there was no reservation system. It all turned on what dealer you selected, what their allocation was and how they assigned the orders. Also a Day One reservation but I'm 35/25 so likely '24 some time which is about when I'd expect my Rivian reservation (actual in line...

Only thing Ford did wrong was not honoring the reservations.

Mines from the 19th and I'm around 20,000. With Ford only shipping 15,000 in 2022, most with reservations are '23 and '24.

And mine was Feb 12, 2022. I'm asking Rivian if it is in their interest to swap the four motor drive/300 mile Explore for $67k to a two motor AWD/400 mile Explore. Hope they do that as the range is more important to me than the mountain goat four motors. Their answer will give an indication...

Not upscale in the luxury sense, upscale in the offroad sense. The four motor drives, the high ground clearance, the 400 mile range, the camping tools. I know a lot of mountain cyclers that drive Tacomas rigged like that. "The Tacoma is not only a stalwart of the midsize truck segment but...

But many are so and it is the same net effect as Rivian's price increase. Demand for EV vehicles is high.

If it makes Ford more profitable, markets usually reward profitability. Workers pay will increase also as it should if the products they build create more profits. Dealerships make about 8% on MSRP so increase in price increases dealerships gross profits also.

Uh...no since dealers are doing exactly that, raising prices $10k.

Bigger company with more control on suppliers most likely. Rivian is such low volume that it has less control on vendors plus smaller quantity orders. I got my Adventure price back to original going dual motor and 260 mile range. I'm still a looking at '24 (even though first day depositor for...

Somewhat same boat but just made Rivian reservation a month ago. Basic Explore model no options was $67k and went to $82k with std features now options. Or more correctly the base Model Explore was derated to dual motor, 275 mile range with just Silver as no cost option and switch to black...

For those with range anxiety with load, the F150's work range will probably match the Rivian's. "Rivian R1T Towing Test: 9,000 pounds on the hitch for over 150 miles" Saw a red F150 EV at the car show today. Gorgeous. They had identical F150 Hybrid parked next to it. $79k which is likley...

Silverado is at Tonkin and F150 is a Damerow. I got an intro email from Tonkin. I'll ask where I am on the list. I made it just a few weeks ago so no great expectations. Damerow has me 35/25 so I'd expect I'll be 15/15 + their '23 allocation, late '23 early '24. Rivian, no idea but...
