Giga Berlin is the cleanest auto factory in Germany and possibly the world there may be other factors in play. The "torch em" crowd that burnt down a power distribution pole have also complained about water usage.

Big update to ABRP dropped today. 5.0.0 has a lot of new features:

  • Rivian Charging Score: Free charger performance scores in the US and Canada.
  • Premium Live Data from Enode: Real-time EV connectivity.
  • Free Real-time Charger Status: Access charger updates instantly.
  • Enhanced Charger Planning: User-friendly features for all travelers.
  • New Interface: Sleek, responsive design. Update now for the latest in EV driving technology
ABRP will factor in live data (SoC, SoH, efficiency, temps etc) if you have an OBDII dongle. Some of the new free data was previously only available with the premium version.

Native integrations with Rivian is pretty sweet. Get some nice nerd stats to look at

Usable capacity when new on Gen 1 large pack is 131, so over the course of the first year I've only lost 0.6%

On a Tesla an OBD2 dongle is not required. You just authorize the app to login to your Tesla account and it pulls the data live from the vehicle. This then influences your range estimates when on a trip as an example with the required stops for charging etc

it isn't on most cars any more. That's the second bullet update. But you can get more data if you have one.

It’s not just that it’s on twitter, it takes only a cursory look at his tweets to see that he’s a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist / “truth seeker”.

Why would you even read posts from people with IQ's < 1? I actually think I lost a few brain cells just skimming a few posts

it's the replies, not his post. moreover, *EVERYONE* i speak to not on here has NO INTEREST in an ev. they think it's too risky, too much hassle, too weird (tesla), etc, etc. they might get a hybrid, but that's it.
i know we all love them, but i just think there's huge resistance.

interesting video on charging experience in a variety of uk non-tesla chargers. not too bad... although one comment says $1 equivalent per kwh, ouch.
