I think long range (here large battery pack) is a red herring for almost everyone, with the caveat “if you have the ability to charge at home.” This is probably difficult to intuit or believe until you’ve owned EVs, but it’s true.

The Rivians are vehicles i never get tired of seeing. They are innovative and perfect for the active lifestyle/outdoorsman types. I really hope the company makes it as I just enjoy seeing them on the road. I would put my money where my mouth is, but even the base price is far outside my reach. Hopefully, the R2 series is a bit closer to my budget while maintaining the same appeal.

@AHungryHunky 4 ай бұрын
That is a problem. They should engineer in some drainage to that cavity. Dirt isn't really a problem because I don't really think these are meant to haul loose soil, but the roadsalt? If there is a cavity it can build in, it will find it and eat your car inside out. Amazing how many vehicles I've seen (including some of my own) where the paint looks prestine until you poke a finger through it, and the rust that used to be sheetmetal underneath. Rockers on those old S10 Blazers were good for that.

Coasting would be more efficient in a very light vehicle such as an ebike. These direct drive motors have a tiny bit of overhead but it is overall more efficient. It also saves you money on brakes.
@MicahMuzio Ай бұрын
Talking to Audi recently, they are adamant that coasting is the more efficient approach in their vehicles. It's fascinating to see different manufacturers take radically different approaches.

@gerrylum 4 ай бұрын
Not at all. I have my regen set to high 100% of the time and MUCH prefer the feel of regenerative one-pedal driving now. When I drive and have to coast an ICE vehicle, it feels weird to me now and much more inconvenient having to move back and forth between two pedals.

As an owner of one who’s had it for more than 2 days, I can do all of this in 20 seconds…..but…why would I since it’s saved to my profile when I set it up. And yeah I know it doesn’t have an AM radio but FM and HD radio is plenty and you can always use TuneIn for specific stations anyway. sorry but no one (that I know) that owns one is pining for an AM radio dial.

Coasting is not more efficient. If you coasted you'd lose all that opportunity to regenerate power. The regenerative braking takes a few days to get used to, but I *much* prefer the regenerative one-pedal driving experience now .
@jsponson 4 ай бұрын
If your intention is to slow down, then of course you’re absolutely right it’s more efficient to regen and convert the kinetic energy back into electrical energy for use later rather than using the friction brakes to generate heat. I think I know what Micah was trying to say though. For example if coasting gets you to exactly where you want to be, like if the vehicle would roll and naturally run out of momentum at a red light, using regen means you’d stop short of the light and you’d have to accelerate a little to get to the light, you’d end up using a bit more energy because the kinetic to electrical conversion and vice versa have losses. I know it’s a specific scenario but I think that’s what Micah had in mind. Also to your point, you can still coast with one-pedal drive, you just have to find that exact point in the accelerator travel. It takes some skill and getting used to though.

But you don’t need those things at all. You can’t navigate a charging route with either of those options. It’s far better to use the in car Nav because it’s connected to the cars batteries and other systems. Everything else you just use your phone for anyways - which is what CarPlay is in the end.
