Electric Vehicle Thoughts, Questions & Answers

[RSchneider]

Not that I'm aware of, but I know there is a self-reported data set of Tesla owners globally, and it's possible/probable that some of those vehicles are included.

Like this:

I forgot about these too. They drive around in the sea of bicycles (look up "bicycles in Amsterdam"):

Absolutely not! I know there are people out there that might like this truck, but not me. Storage is nice except for a couple of things. The spare tire should be in front. Why would you want your spare to be located under your load? You would have to completely unload your vehicle to change a tire. The flashlight in the door is not very practical. The most common use I have of a flashlight is to see into the mailbox when I come home at night. I don't want to have to open the door to get at it. Besides the fact that it has to be the ugliest thing on the road. Range of a gas driven truck? My Chevy goes 600 miles on a tank and I can fill it up at almost any intersection. But that's just me! YMMV.

The Rivian is not going to meet everyone's needs nor is it going to fluff everyone's skirt. I like it. And that flashlight will always be ready if you have an issue like a flat tire or need to check something out. I have a flashlight in the door of my truck and use it quite out of the truck. I always put it back so I know where it is. It'd be nice if it stayed charged up though.

This flashlight is convenient, usually charged, and ready for use:

You know as well as I do that a handheld flashlight is more likely to illuminate under the hood or, and this is my favorite use, be used to find things on the floor. If you turn out the lights, and lay the flashlight on the floor and get down there, it's like magic!

O.K. Then it could be a convenient backup light when the real flashlight dies.

Another EV Pickup based out of the same area as Elio Motors and where Rivian is going to build theirs. Looks like you can reserve one too.
