There is no "over there" only "over here"
I have read where Rivian are placing charge stations at trail heads and other off road destinations to provide top off before hitting the trails I like the idea of a BEV off roader but just a little concerned about range when off roadNever really was in to the electric vehicle hype, but they have done pretty well and in the next couple of years, they are going to explode on the market. This one is a quad motor design with up to 7700lb towing capacity.
For me the downside on all electrics is the downtime for charging and the need to be at a charging station... Are they really only good for commuting? Anyone with a TESLA X to give their opinion and experience?
The Launch Edition is sold out, but the Adventure Package orders would expect to begin delivery in January. The only difference is a special color and a special wheel and tire package on the Launch Edition.

I think it looks awsome but to expensive for me to afford really like the Forrest green colorNever really was in to the electric vehicle hype, but they have done pretty well and in the next couple of years, they are going to explode on the market.

Speaking of that other forum... OP, you may want to research range while towing.there's a forum for that
Yes, I've seen that... But they keep focusing on max towing. My little trailer is only about 2000lbs and tows rather easily. I'm sure it would still hurt the range some, but it doesn't scare me as much as simply needing to go father than capacity.
Bingo. That was the easiest call in a while. The concept that somehow adding solar power has a net negative effect...lol.
if interested I would but alas not interested in another crude tesla style start up.
How is that possible if the trailhead is not near any line power?
Iām not working in oil and gas right now, and Iāve spent almost as much of my career working on environmental solutions as I have extracting and refining fossil fuels. To each their own, but I have shared my thoughts on BEVs and whether or not they are āgreenā.

nah..plug -in electric isnāt going to explode because there arenāt enough power plants (coal, solar, nuclear) etc to power them.
the future is here and looks like a Couple auto manufacturers are looking to buy this company out.
its laser light activated hydrogen power..basically its hydrogen that is put on a CD and activated via a laser to produce electricity. its super safe, there are no hydrogen tanks and you can carry your fuel with you or recycle the cdās in 5 min.
pretty cool technology ...

lol you sound like you are just being contrarian about this you should relax and be positive and believe in the future technology is advancing rapidly and there are people who are literally changing the world, today, for the better
Iām an engineer whoās trained to analyse, evaluate and calculate risk. I am very positive with things that make sense, less so when they donāt. As I said, letās check back on this topic in 5 and 10 yearsā time and see how the conversation goes. The electricity crisis unfolding in England and Germany as we speak was predicted to happen by engineers like me at least 10 years ago. Unlike models, real-word physical constraints are what they are.
ok ok you get the last word lolIām an engineer whoās trained to analyse, evaluate and calculate risk. I am very positive with things that make sense, less so when they donāt.

Anyway, Iām going to enjoy the hell out of my Bronco, and Iāll sign off on this topic. As I said earlier, enjoy what you choose to drive!
