Yes sir

Drift, but what I don't get is why Ford seems to make the business decision to fall into that category. It has been happening for years (decades) as far as I can tell, so that suggests to me that to some degree it is either part of their culture or their business plan. Camp - any intel or view...

Hope the tree day was fun! I loved doing it with my guy a few years ago. And finally got to meet the man, the myth, the legend.

Also, I would have been fine driving 78 both ways - arrived in Saratoga at like 30 percent, and arrived back home at like 20 percent (on the way home I drove like 30% time in normal mode, which gives you over a 1000 horsepower in case I needed to accelerate very quickly). I hadn't checked in...

If you take the taconic, which I did on the way down, you might end up in the trees if you did 78. I know your reference was to interstate. I took a defensive driving course a few weeks ago after my wife got a bolt to lower my insurance (no tickets etc, just bolt had higher insurance than 12...

Random Rivian range update. EPA rating is 270. In conserve mode, the car tells me 302 miles. Today, I drove 205 miles from my house to Saratoga, 95 percent conserve and 5 percent ‘normal’ I would estimate. 69 percent got me 205 miles, which equates to 297 miles at 100 percent. All...

Interesting: Rivian spinout of a bike company. Pricey. The quad one would be cool with a family in Brooklyn.

Crazy: chargers at 1.3 megawatts (6x a Rivian highspeed charger) and cars able to take 500kw charge (2.5x Rivian's fastest speed which is only sustained for a few minutes. That would charge a Rivian from empty in like 20 minutes. Rivian is the largest practical battery you see (the Hummer is...

This is my fuel bottle that I use...

I researched the heck out of it. The salt part depends on your sweat factor (i am a heavy sweater). For four doses at 30-45 minutes: 8 tbsp maple syrup; 3 tbsp espresso (liquid); 1/2 teaspoon table salt. I think that ends up being like 800 mg of sodium. It could be that the liquid from the...

Um I think I am drifting but can't find a 'Today's Run' thread. Did the Suffolk County Half Marathon today. Ran fast for me but probably more in the slow zone: 13.1 miles, 10:00 pace, 2:11:48. My prior PR was 2:24:37, (around 11:02 pace) and the Father's Day weekend half a few months after...

Oh that makes sense to me. You are using the ICE part less, and you are losing your friction brakes less. You probably go through tires faster than ICE.

I have to check but my system was no where near 90k. I think it was 28k after incentives, but financing meant that my carrying cost is lower after the system than before (i.e. my bill plus loan is lower than my pre-rivian bill). PSEGLI offers it, crazy nat grid does not. Yes, I have one...

The times article is with home charging but without solar. If you can do solar and have good exposure, it pays back more quickly with EVs because you are consuming more of your energy from solar (home and cars) vs. cars consuming energy through gas. Hybrid will have more maintainance than EV...

Curiosity caused me to look at 9 months of my solar system. Basically I generated 3/4 of my use but because of my time of use plan, charging at night, and the solar battery automatically charging at night and discharging into the grid at peak 4x rates, I have a bank of 12,000 kw. Tesla app...

Even before the acquisition, I used ABRP because it was one of the pretty good mapping apps for routing with chargers. Chargeway is also good - much easier to use. ABRP lets you tweak more.

Cool. I ll look for the youtube video on how to link it. I was pretty pleasantly suprised that I have lost less than 1% of range over 36,000 plus miles coming on 3 years in January. Your use case is beastly. I wonder if you are the highest mileage actual user.

You can link your rivian in the phone app "ABRP" - a better route planner. When you link it up, it gives you real time data on your vehicle, including how much usable battery capacity you have. ABRP is a ev routing software. I think Rivian bought them at some point.

What are you seeing on range degradation? I have 35k, 2.5 years, and it is like a bit less than 1 percent. You can see your usable battery in the ABRP app. I have like 130.2 usable kw on the original 131 kw 'large' pack from launch edition.
