This sounds pretty good……until the charger is fixed, but the ranking stays low until enough Rivians use it to pull the score back up and if the score is already low, most will be avoiding the repaired charger. While it’s a step in the correct direction, there should probably be a way for the score to be modified back to great as soon as the unit is fixed and confirmed working as intended. I definitely utilize ABRP and I’m happy to see Rivian making improvements to it. 👍👍

What is the $$$ correlation between motor configurations?

Thanks!

Are the screens better resolution?

EV sales nowhere near where they should be…. Range and comfort is way more important to prospective buyers than stupid fast acceleration….. my wife’s Range Rover V8 ONLY has 540+ hp and would get smoked by these vehicles but she won’t even discuss switching to a Rivian…. Ride quality, comfort, quietness and RANGE is far superior in the RR… it’s not even close. Sorry Rivian but when my wife wants to buy a drag racing car maybe we will look at one…. In case you missed it, RANGE and COMFORT are way more desirable in a $100k vehicle

Go, Speed Racer, go!

Too bad you missed the brand new EA station in Moab. Pull through, 350’s - so much better than Tesla

He answered most of my questions. But the one I wanted to know after that was can you charge it from a Tesla charging station. He does tell you how to do it though. But doesn't confirm that it works.

Crazy fast!

I love your content Tom, but this juvenile stuff is best left to a juvenile, like your pal in Colorado.

Kind surprised he did this content since it’s not Ford or his Ford Lightning..

That's my home track, wish I could have been there...

High five, Tom! I couldn't do that without passing out or losing my lunch. My metabolism does not handle blistering acceleration well.

Some say Tom is still smiling 😂😂😂

Tom, perhaps you'd enjoy chatting with The Tesla Plaid Channel about his lengthy drag race experience with his previous Raven and current Plaid. Very consistent and reliable cars! Andrew has put together a great channel.

Sounds like they were able to control the thermals. Comment on that? Thanks for the video.

What a blast, Tom! Great fun.

Not going to watch this based on title covering quarter mile times. All these 'reviews' that cover 0-60 times are just meaningless to me. I want reduced cost and better range before I'll consider these vehicles. These are pickups and cross-overs not Taycan or e-tron.

How about a little less power and more range? Maybe a smaller battery to be able to reduce the price some.

Why? 😂

Missing he point. 0-60 is a pretty boring thing. Stopping, turning, top speed, handling, efficiency, accessibility, affordability, maintainability, reliability. There is just soooo much more to care about than 0-60 so long as it doesn't completely fail at that too. I'm not going to watch this. It's a boring figure.

I really don't understand the continued need to increase the speed and power of EVs. I've got an F150 Lightning and I have very little desire to floor it and dump all the horses to the road, not only for the cost of premature wear to my tires, but I'm not running on a track or drag strip and have no need to go that fast right away. Sure it's great when on the highway to have instant access to all the power to pass a slower vehicle, but I'm sure that most EV owners would be quite satisfied with slower 0-60 times, lower torque, and greater efficiency / range.

Wow!!!!!!!!

Il livello di empatia e comprensione mostrato qui è stimolante. È come essere avvolti in una coperta di sorellanza.🐱

I would love to discuss with you the nightmare I just had driving from Texas to Mississippi with my family and back and getting stranded in my Ford Lightning with no assistance from Ford or Electrify America and a fellow veteran, who also almost got stranded with their family as well.

I am hoping for the success of the Company because I want the coming R3.................Paul

The R1S gen 1 compressor is very noisy, did they fix that in gen 2?

Any news on GM supercharger access? Volvo supercharger access?

These have an autopilot yet?

I love my R1T, preorder a R2. Glaring issues: Where is the 80A AC charging? Where is the V2L capability?

I'm holding out for the R3....I like the R1 and R2 are nice....but too big for me.

Hi Tom can you or any of your viewers tell me when plugged into a 30 amp 120 volt or a 20 amp 120 volt what the maximum current the lighting onboard charger will utilise?

talk a lot about “your” rivian. Whole video talking about “my rivian” this and that….

I’ve purchased the Vortex Adapter and received it with fix. Sadly the adapter has not worked and the Tesla cable is hard to remove from the adapter. I’ve followed the instructions provided and I received a fault indicator error 😢bye bye $200

I have not heard about it Thanx dude

A person has free charging AND L2 at home which costs money to use. Sorry but money rules…that’s basic human nature in a capitalist society. People will use the free charging over opening their wallet. Those who don’t are saints and will go to heaven. The onus is on the companies providing free charging not the owners. A couple of minor points. For the ID.4 it’s not literally unlimited. It’s limited to 30 minute sessions. After 30 minutes it costs money. Also for 2024 VW has ceased the multi-year no cost charging program.

i really like the old gen1 volt telling me exactly how many kw's are going where. helps me drive more efficiently up hills where i can keep a steady input power while letting my speed sag by 5-10 mph. getting 5miles/kwh on the hwy at 60-65mph, crazy

UI update… Soon? No this month. This ain’t Ford lol.

Well this convinced me that I can not have an EV without a major upgrade to my electrical service. I have an electric stove, electric dryer, air conditioner, etc. I only have a 100 amp service. Probably only have around 30 amps to send to a car charger.

Good topic: its ridiculous the poor management of EV fast charges by anyone except for tesla. Poor reliability, maintenance, and information. Disappointing but not surprising that the traditional OEMs haven't stepped up to this, and huge kudos for Tesla doing it right even when no one else knew how.

The problem is your taking up 2 spots all Tesla charge on the driver rear and the Supercharger is set up that way

Hopefully you kept the Lightning as Tesla has introduced a restriction that prevents cybertruck owners from reselling them. What that means is you're spending your money on a vehicle you don't REALLY own.

Keep flexing your EV 😂.

@stateofcharge Now my adapter is stuck to the end of a supercharger here in town!!

I love the detail and information you provide in your videos. I have a question that I have not found an answer for. We have a Tesla home charger for our 2023 Tesla Model y. We recently leased an Ionic 5 and would like to purchase an adapter that will work with that device. Most adapters are for super chargers. Can you provide some direction?

I purchased the J1772 version based on Tom's recommendation. It's been great, thank you. I also got a separate connector holster from Grizzl-E as they're not too far from me because I also hated the included holder. A question, will Emporia owners be able to directly replace an existing J1772 cable with a NACS cable? I had an electrician hardwire my unit with a dedicated copper cable and a 60A breaker and the connector blocks for the vehicle cable seem pretty similar. This leads me to wonder if swapping between J1772 and NACS cables is possible.

@Tom Do you have any plans to review Tesla/NACS or J1772 extension cords such as those offered by Lectron? These extend on the car side of the EVSE rather than the wall side of the EVSE. Seem like a better solution for those of use that travel to destinations with home outlets in odd places.

So rivian just accelerated your depreciation by making a way better version of what you have. Nice.

They need to include better facility info. I found a fast charger but no bathroom or other facility nearby. Also, better planning. I found 4 dual fast chargers (8 css1 cables) but only 4 parking spots. Hidden from the road in a hotel back yard.

I use ABRASION for my e-Golf, but not with the XC40 Recharge and i4 as they have good built in navigation.
