Rivian reported its third quarter sales today, and they weren’t good. More specifically, deliveries were down to 10,018 units in Q3 2024, from 15,564 in Q3 2023 (YoY) and 13,790 in Q2 2024 (QoQ).

Setting Up A Dirt Cheap All-Electric RV
Gandhi supposedly said (but most likely didn’t): “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” I’ve been seeing a similar trend happen with electric RVing.

Mercedes & BMW Big Overachievers On EV Range

Unfortunately, these range ratings are not uniformly created and are not uniformly accurate. Therefore, some electric cars do better than expected in the real world and some do worse than … [continued]
Is The Cybertruck Competitive?
I put down a reservation for a Cybertruck on the first day of the launch back in 2019 since I knew I’d be replacing my old Dodge 4×4 2500 within a few years. I didn’t really like the look of Cybertruck at the time, to be honest, but I bought … [continued]
