WSJ seems to have some sort of bias against EV’s within that article. It says a Model Y gets the equivalent of 65 MPG and says that’s about the same as a hybrid. That’s very misleading at best, and outright deceitful at worst.
Yes, a Prius can get in the mid-50’s. Most 5 passenger SUV hybrids...
It’s definitely bad, but the vehicles are indeed drivable. The cause of the bricked screens is totally unacceptable, but there have been like 15+ significant updates (with notes!) that have gone smoothly. Rivian is immediately giving out Uber credits for everyone affected as well - no crappy...
You’re literally the first person I’ve seen mention the national security concerns. Other than how much more I enjoy the driving experience, that’s the biggest reason for me to continue buying EVs. I’m surprised more people don’t realize the significance.
I think there are a few threads on here about them, as well as one or two on the Rivian forums. Both are incredible vehicles but neither is perfect. MME at the price point is great, but it’s kind of unfair to compare it to a vehicle that is about $30,000-$40,000 more expensive compared to the...
Tesla isn’t trying to crash the market as that would also be bad for Tesla. They’re trying to undercut it and can do so because their manufacturing has become so much more efficient over the past 15 years. It’s forcing others to play catch up. Heck, Tesla was legitimately worried about...
If you dig deep enough into any major competitor then I’m sure you’ll feel the same way about them too. Ford has a pretty bad history with being aware of flaws in their vehicles that caused tons of deaths with the Fiesta and the Explorer. They didn’t do anything about it. With the Explorer...
Totally understandable! I thought BC would be better, but was a pretty poor experience for me, which is why I think you may be pretty underwhelmed as well. It constantly cuts out, ping pongs in the lane a fair bit, and the eye nanny makes it impossible to drive with your hand on the top of the...
I mean this in the nicest way possible, because I’m not trying to criticize or be a jerk. I get where you’re coming from and what you want, which isn’t unreasonable. That being said, I don’t think any current EV in the 60-70k price range is really going to make you 100% happy. The Mach E is...
Great redesign. It actually reminds me a lot of Rivian’s, except Rivian still won’t put a dang odometer or trip odometer on the screen. Your design is as good as any car I’ve seen.
Same. I bought 2 MMEs and *tried* to buy a Lightning but Ford managed to prevent me from doing so. Bought a Rivian instead. Rivian isn’t perfect either, of course, but I would still have a Ford in my driveway if they could just stop with the nonsense. It’s amazing how far Rivian has come in its...
