I’m not one who gets too concerned about SoH and battery deterioration as a general matter. However, I measured it a couple of times in the past and it hovered in the 94.5-95%. Last time to measure was around beginning of the year. However, today it dropped to 85.5%! My vehicle has 9,670 miles...

The scene in my neighborhood this morning makes you believe Rivians are everywhere. I took this pic and got tackled by a salesman who was pleasant, so I stopped for a quick conversation. Demand: He said that lead time on the R1S and R1T is now a couple of weeks. It is not surprising, given that...

Seen on Wednesday night at the local Tesla store in Chicago. They were closed at the time, but I’ll stop by today or tomorrow to take more pics. Quality of the class A surfaces look good. Gaps are consistent and seem pretty tight. It’s still a very polarizing design. I personally think it looks...

Bummed. After waiting for 10 long months, finally took delivery of a gorgeous Iced Blue Silver MME on July 16 with clear instructions to the dealer not to wash the car. Drove a dirty car for 2.5 weeks & 240 miles till I could get it scheduled for a frontend PPF install at a well-known, top...
