I finally got to charge at an iONNA charging station and everyone is right… they are the gold standard of EV charging in 2026! 400kW charging, NACS and CCS plugs available. Plenty of stalls and space. At a Wawa so there’s tons of good food and clean bathrooms. Also had trash cans AND window cleaning squeegee‘s right next to the chargers. An affordable $0.39/kWh rate that requires so subscription. In fact, Ford and many other OEM’s support plug and charge! If you aren’t fimiliar, iONNA is a joint venture between 8 major auto makers dedicated to installing 30,000 stalls by 2030! This station south of Lima, OH is one of their first 100 stations!

@Hilbe I hope not! R1S should be their flagship. More upscale, more margins for the company. R2 is the mass market

Rivian could make a long wheel base R2 and put in a 3rd row if they really wanted to...and kill off the R1S.

@wintonARK Hope you don't have Rivian fans as friends. "They like to drive" Unless it's the completely useless UHF for which they will cut their hands!!

It really is bizarre. Most of my friends don't have FSD (or a Tesla). And it is the single biggest lifestyle difference between us. They drive their cars. My car drives me. They don't get how much--even at its current capability-level--the product changes life-feel. FSD truly is a mass luxury product. That it is still so narrowly enjoyed is mind-bending.

@congressdj Wait. You still have to talk to get a quote?? That’s insane.

@KnR1 That’s half of the issue. The other half is I don’t want to spend 15 minutes of info out to get a quote and then have to talk to someone.

There are a few things more frustrating than going through an entire process filling in information for a quote, and then the final screen before submission requires your phone number for a “call back”. What a waste of time. I don’t want to have a conversation. I want a quote. 😡

@TuscaloosaSEC Not yet. But I can’t believe a baby has been crying for 10 hours. Doesn’t seem normal. 1 hour, maybe. But 10? Wow. Unbearable.

Is there anything worse than a crying baby on a plane? I wish parents would control their children. It’s so disruptive. I refuse to believe a baby cries for 10 hours. At some point this is just bad parenting, right?

Tesla Superchargers at Buc-ee’s are going to be the thing that finally gets America to electrify. Single biggest enabler of our family going full EV.

When you bought the $50,000 Tesla Model Y to save on gas & maintenance. Then you learned: - It loses 20-35% of its value by year 3 - It loses 55-58% of its value by year 5 So by year 5 you lost $35,000+ of value? ....Congrats on saving ~$1,000/yr on gas.

I was just at a restaurant talking to the owner about his Tesla and our new VW ID BUZZ. He thought it was very cool and asked if it had self driving like his Tesla? I kind of smirked and said… Nobody really has full self driving like Tesla. They are definitely the best. But the BUZZ does have great lane keeping similar to Autopilot. I’m happy give constructive criticism on just about anything, but I’m very realistic about the truth and reality!

@niccruzpatane I wish FSD has the best autopilot feature of just stick to an effing speed and don’t change it unless needed to turn or yield.

With NVIDIA’s Alpamayo Reasoning Model, passengers can use natural language instructions to request driving adjustments, such as changing lanes, speeding up, taking a detour, or pulling over, all while using your voice. Examples: • "Hey Mercedes, speed up." • "Hey Mercedes, make a lane change to the right." • "Hey Mercedes, take the next exit." • "Hey Mercedes, pull over here."

This is always funny to hear. Batteries in a Tesla are designed to last at least 300,000 to 500,000 miles. That’s roughly 15–35+ years for average drivers (assuming 12,000–15,000 miles/year). Plus, every new Tesla comes with an 8 year warranty on the battery.

@theficouple The battery replacement is a killer. That has kept us out of the EV game so far.

Apparently there are people who wake up before their alarm… and just get up. Just one alarm. No snooze. No struggle. Explain yourselves. How do you do that?
