![[Ouch, Altbot mis-identified this as a Tesla.]
The image shows a digital dashboard display from a [Rivian] vehicle. The screen is divided into two main sections. On the left, there is a graph labeled "Efficiency" with a green line fluctuating between 2 and 4+, indicating the vehicle's efficiency over the last 15 minutes. The current efficiency is displayed as 5.50 mi/kWh. On the right, the location "Falls Road" is shown at the top. The background of the screen is light gray, and the display has a modern, sleek design with a wooden trim visible at the top. The dashboard is part of a car's interior, with a glimpse of the outside through the windshield, showing a street scene with buildings and vehicles.

@dangoodin The only vehicles I hear that outclasses the #Tesla sometimes is the #Rivian. #MKBHD has spoken very highly over them in his AutoFocus channel. If you like traditional vehicles, a #PHEV wouldn't be a terrible choice either. But generally the #Tesla is a pretty safe bet, which makes sense considering that it's become the normie #EV car.
Fun fact: even though RTIC’s website says that their 52 quart ultra-light cooler is 17” tall, it is actually 17 ¼” tall.
This post brought to you by a $4 miniature tape measure purchase to double check the clearance under the tonneau cover in my #Rivian saving me from spending ~$200 on a cooler that would be just a hair too tall to squeeze into the available space.
Rivian is pushing a software update to its second-generation vehicles that includes a hands-free highway driving feature. More via @theverge. #Rivian #EV #AutonomousVehicles #Tech #Technology https://flip.it/GHD-lR

Among the many other reasons I’d rather not use a Tesla Supercharger, having to usually take up two spots because the #Rivian’s charge inlet is on the opposite side as the Tesla’s is high among them.
On the other hand, inconveniencing Tesla drivers because of poor decisions in the design of the Superchargers doesn’t make me feel terrible. (Newer Supercharger locations, that were designed to accommodate other EVs from the get-go, have longer cords, and a more flexible pedestal placement.

lol. Third charger in a row with the same #Rivian.
Now charging next to another #Rivian, whom I was also charging next to at our last stop…
Charging my #Rivian at a Tesla Supercharger, and a Tesla owner comes over to ask me how I like it, because he hates driving a Tesla now. He even has one of those ‘I bought it before he went crazy’ stickers.
Makes me feel a little better about using the Supercharger network (I avoid it other than on long road trips where it really does make a huge difference.)
Got some weird looks pulling up to the gas pump in my #Rivian, but I needed to fill a gas can…
Was using Waze the other day, while driving a rental car around #Colorado while my #Rivian was in the shop, and their map data must be using some abbreviations on the back end, because every time it should have said ‘Colorado Springs’, what it actually said was ‘Colorado Speejees’.
It’s a miracle I didn’t get in an accident from laughing so hard.
Obviously, I’ve put quite a lot of miles (just shy of 15,000 right now, with three 2,000+ mile road trips in this mix) on my #Rivian R1T, but it’s got the max range of over 400 miles on a charge, so probably isn’t representative of most people’s expected experience with driving an #EV. For the past five days I’ve been driving a rented Polestar 2, with a range of about 210 miles on a full charge. Over those five days, I’ve put a bit over 350 miles on it. However, I’ve never once needed to use a fast charger, or even had to alter our plans around charging. Other than the two days we were in Monterey, we didn’t even have chargers at the hotels we were staying at, so all charging was accomplished with ~7 kW chargers at the places we went on our trip, and that was absolutely sufficient.
There are definitely circumstances where an ICE vehicle will be more appropriate than an EV, but for the most part I think that range anxiety is overblown, and probably fed by legacy industry FUD.
Just drove a Polestar 2 from San Jose to Berkeley, and I gotta say, I prefer my #Rivian. Even compared to the Volvos we’ve driven recently, the interface seems poorly thought out, which is weird.

#amazon got the fancy #Rivian #electrictrucks
Sure... and they can fly too!
Back in #NewMexico at last! (Charging the #Rivian in Tucumcari, but still.)
The setup could use some refinement, but I successfully make coffee while charging my #Rivian R1T!
