That doesn't look like a Plaid badge. There's only one badge

obviously allen would know better but from what i've seen online, the rivian interior is GREAT. nice materials and details.

Definitely not a Plaid badge but it does have the spoiler. What I can’t unsee is how misaligned the right tailight is which is what many complain about but for some reason it seems to only be the right side of the car.

I have to say, you have a very good eye 😊. Now I can't unsee it

Looks like you’ve found your next vehicle after test driving another brand outside of Toyota like striker mentioned.

we test drove 15 different EVs yesterday at the auto show. My spouse loved all of them.

Future EV owner

Gotta start somewhere :). Our first EV was a 2020 Hyundai Ioniq EV with only 138 HP, and 150 miles range. Leased it for my wife's work commute to save on gas and wear and tear on our Sienna. Although underpowered, it was actually a pleasure to drive. Used to get into endless arguments with Bob04 about plugging and unplugging at home vs going to the gas station 😂. At the time I didn't have a level 2 charger, so bought a 15 amp rated extension cord and plugged it into an outdoor 110 outlet to charge every night. Not ideal, but it worked good enough, if I plugged it in by 8 pm. Couldn't have the dishwasher on at the same time or it would trip the breaker, but than moved to the garage plug and problem solved. That was our gateway drug to EV'S 👍

no level 2 ev charger at home = no evs should be a 101 class for prospective ev owners.

110v is rough

120 volt not 110. Anyway, you need a level 2 charger at home if you live a cold climate or it's very possible you'll get less distance charge per day than you drive.

Even more aggravating than I thought now that there are two EVs in our household. You should have warned me. :wild::)

noticed it right away, but have come to expect it. :p

wow, 15. so what is it your spouse liked so much about ev's? besides the quiet, lack of transmission shifts, effortless acceleration and generally everything being better than an ice drivetrain. :D

Any near future plans on selling your LC?

there were no wait times for most EVs. Didn’t get to try the Audi or Mercedes as the wait times were way too long. Everything else was immediate.

the Dodge Daytona fake noise was the dumbest thing as it was so fake sounding. Other than that, it looked like a gas cars, Stellantis probably should have baked in a Hemi for that model

There were a lot of gas cars that received lot of love too 💙 Chevrolet Colorado Bison and the Toyota Land Cruiser my spouse was in love with. Ford Escape Dunes and Bad Lands 😊. And Chevrolet Trailblazer and for some reason the Trax … until it was discovered no awd.

but back to EVs … R2 was a cute little SUV

It only had a 38 kWh battery pack, so unless we fully drained it, next day we were charged again. L2 were expensive back in 2020, but yes, today I couldn't survive without a level 2, charging three EV'S with battery packs from 75 kWh to 81 kWh
