I always want a lighter interior on all surfaces, like the Rivian R2 Demo unit. Everyone says "it shows dirt" and that's true, but the depressing dark interiors of most cars on lots or offered is terrible. Also, the 'dirt' is still there, you are sitting on it and in it, you just can't see it.
I agree. But the Pebble Flow can connect and disconnect automatically once it’s within 3 feet of the hitch. You do have to unlock or lock it. Still extra steps and a hassle. I think we’ll go backwards on infrastructure for a while before we move forward.
I hope so. I’d like to pull a Lightship RV or Pebble Flow, which each have solar panels and a large battery and motorized wheels. But I’d also like to pull a boat with it that has no battery or support motor so I need at least 7,500 lbs. of towing at a reasonable distance.
Hopefully Scout gets...
And now the current admin is immediately taking the 8,000 plugs at federally owned buildings offline and cancelling the 25,000 plugs planned. Some of those may have been accessible now or in the future.
I’ve used this a lot during PT tests or training in the Army for 25 years, counting cadet time. Used it while out in the wilderness in water too.
I couldn’t believe over the decades it never spread beyond Ford (Toyota had it on a few models in the 80’s or early 90’s.)
I hope 🤞 something like...
wonder if they can turn off main headlights and all others turn red in camp mode? Works in the military to keep night vision, disturb others less but not really that helpful when underway/moving.
As well as “WARM UP THE CABIN OR COOL DOWN THE CABIN TO X TEMPERATURE”
We do this cabin warming and cooling now with our Audi PHEV.
Of course, my wife does it by calling me anywhere in the world and asking me to do it rather than downloading the app and doing it on her own phone.
She admits...
Agree,
I hope there is a
‘precondition (as in warm up) the battery and charge to X level to prepare to leave in 20 minutes or at a certain time. ‘ Mode.
only one paying the tariffs are US customers so it’s no different than a tax.
The exporting country does not pay a tariff. The US importer, then wholesaler then retailer then customer pays the tariff in the form of a higher price.
Domestic competing manufacturers often raise prices or keep...
but LiFePo4 want to be charged to 100% every time so you may get 150 miles or closer to it. My wife averages 57 miles a day. I average 2 flights upstairs to my Radiology workstation.
i actually think you’re correct. I think Rivian is just doing zonal architecture testing and I’m skeptical they will use gas. However, now that we all see 80% of scout reservation holders have harvester, and that EV demand is only slowly growing, Rivian might be considering it.
and I am a...
I hope Rivian is a competitor for Scout!
Why? Because my wife would prefer to drive a range extended R2 and I would prefer a Traveler and Terra, both with Harvester for the things I do.
My daughters want an R3, R2 and my oldest wants a Terra. All with REV, HUD, and ADBs. FSD too. I wish Terra...
