We haven't produced a manual R8 since 2017 I believe and those went fast! Both off the lot and on the pavement! There is an aftermarket company who will swap out a manual but I have no idea how much $$$ that costs....
Whatever was pulling them broke down. It’s a trailer with nothing hooked to it.Is the truck that is delivering them electric as well or one of those disgusting dirt diesels?
a manual tran is hard to find in those. thx
They’ll definitely advertise it as this then cancel the deal after you buy it.
That close to Butte and no one stole them already?
$52,500 was the Lordstown Endurance. That was being designed and marketed more as a fleet truck but also being marketed to individual consumers. They’ve since gotten caught cooking the books and pretty much gone belly up. Rivian price target has always been $65k-ish for the base model. Even with the price increase, you’d need to add a bunch of options to get to $100k.
This is an “it depends” situation. Charging at home is generally far cheaper than what you’d comparably pay for gas. Many utilities offer lower off peak charging, and the charger and vehicles generally allow you to schedule the charging for those off peak times. Generally late at night which is when you’d usually want to charge anyhow. On average you’re probably looking at 10-20% of the cost of gas.
the charging stations around me are all free. At least I have not walked up to one to see if they need a credit card. But have been told they are free@Tradewind it also depends on how each utility is intertwined within its service area. Ours, for example, was a Dept OF the City. We installed a few charges around town but they were never free to use as that would constitute a “gift of public funds” and was therefore prohibited by City charter.
If an individual business chose to install and offer “free power” to their customers they could but additional hoops to jump through. Either paid a contractor for said install with fees/permits/etc. being paid back to us for use of infrastructure or they contracted directly to us as a service extension but again paid to do so.
Either way, utilized charging electricity was master metered back to them and charged at the applicable rate.
Just one example
I’ve not seen any that have an actual credit card reader on them. Instead you have an account with the charging provider and an access card with rfid chip or bar code that the charge reads. “Plug and Charge” standards are also rolling out where the car basically becomes your “card” and identifies itself to the charger which then knows to bill your account.
I plumbed a 110 rectangle tank into my main tank for long trips. Not stopping on a trip out is great. Fueling up for the way back is s as other story.Two trucks ago, mine had a custom 46gal tank, pushed the range right out to about 800miles. Downside was you better check your account when filling up and back in the $100 max pump days it was a 3 swiper to fill from E. Hauling 400# of fuel when full made it ride nicer though
He may have some correct numbers, but his logic is totally flawed. Most EV charging will be done at home, and he completely ignores that in comparing how many public chargers it would take to replace gas stations. Then when he does talk about home charging, it’s a doomsday scenario conflating current infrastructure with future need. Our electric grid and generation capacity has always moved forward to meet demand. Imagine yourself in 1940 with a view into the future and all of the electric stuff that would need powered in the year 2000. You’d probably have similar panic. We’re not going to go from 0 to 100% EV overnight. It will take many years, and the infrastructure will spend and adapt to the need over time.
