I am definitely looking forward to MS chargers as we often travel west. Those ADECA sponsored dcfc sites will help but they really needed some guidance on location choices. We need something along I-22 to facilitate BHM-MEM travel and around the Steele Tesla supercharger station. And I will...

Local charging isn’t really an issue. It’s the missing dcfc locations for travel, especially in NE & NW Alabama and pretty much all of Mississippi. Things are a bit better if Auburn (well, it’s Auburn so of course it’s better ?) is your starting point since you’re almost in the center of what...

Correct that most driving isn’t an issue, but you live in a part of the country with many charging options. Some of us do not have that luxury and having more range is necessary to make EVs as useful as possible. I frequently use my Mach E, and my Bolt before it, on day trips that would be...

Unfortunately this isn’t much of a surprise for Alabama buyers, though I hoped it would be better with Ford. Same reason we can’t get the excellent new Korean EVs and PHEV Toyotas without going out of state. I am on the priority list with Long Lewis Hoover. Really doesn’t matter though with the...

All along when folks would say “the Rivian is soooo expensive” my response has been that i expected a similar spec Lightning to be more than the R1T. However I never dreamed a XLT with 27% less range would cost about the same as the base Rivian.

Pretty sure he used the fob to open and a button to close.

Range is King, whether it lives up to expectations or not. ;)

I had an original 02 Avalanche for 12 years. Looks aside, the fabulous versatility made it one of my all time favorite vehicles. I still regret not fixing it. An electric version is essentially my perfect vehicle. We‘ll see if my Lightning reservation ever actually turns in to a truck, but if...

I bet I’ll be able to get one of these before I could get the Lightning trim I prefer. ?

Does it show <5% of production will be Pros or does it say <5% of those available to consumers will be Pro? I think there has to be significantly more Pros getting built for fleet orders. That chart appears to be the consumer allocation of total production which means it could get adjusted as...

ADM is simply setting fire to a stack of money for expediency’s sake.

You have a point, but the start button is still being used to start it, or turn it on in this case, just like an ICE vehicle. Could be like Tesla where you just get in, put it in gear, and go, but most are not like that (yet).

This is dependent on where you live and your normal usage. Many parts of the country do not yet have charger availability.

Nope. I've been following it since day 1 and while base prices are in line the XLT+ ER is considerably more expensive that the previous guestimates had it. I was expecting XLT+ ER to be a little less than the base R1T, not as much as the top Rivian trim level. ?‍♂️

different vehicle so that one should still work.

I am also anxious to see the Silverado info. Biggest pluses initially look to be faster charging and being the second version of the platform that started with the Hummer. A negative at this stage is no tax credit as GM ran out early 2020.

I’m sure lots of folks without garages will buy one. A garage is no more a necessity for an EV than it is for an ICE. If true though it sure is a stupid way to save about $25 when building a $60k+ truck.

The B&O system in my Mach E is underwhelming. I would not make it a priority in speccing another vehicle purchase.

I want an optioned up XLT. Heated seats, surround view cameras, 9.6 kW capability are must-haves. Range is king is big battery is also a must. I have a Mach E and would much rather have the XLT screen and discrete controls than the 15” display. Would only step up to Lariat if the price premium...

So it does. I remembered they were exclusive to those trims, just assumed they were included in the price premiums as well.
