I'll just put this here. A new Rivian owner thinking about going to a Tacoma.

Any facts to back this up? I know plenty of people who only own one vehicle and it’s an EV. I don’t know where you’re from but in cold weather states when it snows and the weather sucks people still drive to work. That’s called Tuesday.

 

Lol...you're asking bat for facts? Good one...I needed a laugh today!

 

I think it's been mentioned in automotive publications. I couldn't tell if that's accurate or not. I'm on the side that it's believable.

There has to be a study of who is most likely to drive an EV, what their profession is and if they commute to work when it snows of they stay home. Obviously that does not account for every EV owner but it could give an idea of whose driving an EV in Winter weather.

I've never looked into it, but it appears every Tesla owner on the Tundra site owns another vehicle, many of the EV owners here also own a second vehicle.

Even if the EV owner doesn't own a 2nd vehicle and has access to another vehicle in their household they probably will drive that in winter weather.

 

Living on the east coast yourself. You should be well aware that almost every winter precipitation event is different than the last.

 

“I think”, “there has to be”, “I never looked into it”, “probably”…shit like this is why everyone here thinks you’re a mouth breathing moron. If you want to make a statement then find some information to back it up first.

 

I don't care what anyone here thinks... If I'm wrong I'm wrong, I think I'm right and that's all that matters.

 

Of course you do, because you’re not actually curious, you’ve made up your mind without evidence

 

People thinking they are right as being all that matters is half the problem with society. If you are wrong it doesn’t matter what you think, you are wrong.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with different viewpoints but when you ignore facts and make statements about what you feel or what your opinion is in obvious disregard for proven fact - you are a fucking moron.

 

You alright over there? This is a Tacoma forum afterall.

 

I just don’t like stupid people, something you prove to be in every post about EVs. It is entertaining sometimes which is why I keep you off the ignore list.

 

And you’ve spent hours here lying and spreading misinformation about BEVs. Are YOU alright?

 

Volvo recalls every EV truck they have made.

Volvo truck catches fire and EV batteries smolders for days after striking a train.

It did strike s train, but did the recall contribute to the battery fire?

 

Oh shit sounds like lots of those trucks were submerged in salt water

 

No you big dummy, they drove in the winter.

 

That one hit a train. The recall was due to over torquing the battery cell bridge in production.

 

Oh so they didn’t back a boat down a launch ramp and explode killing everyone?

 

If that's something that can happen I'm you will see people doing this. Quick dip in the water will probably be alright. There are electric boats, those are the only power boats allowed in the fresh water reservoir here.

 

Luckily they can’t get into the lake in the winter…

 

No big deal, the battery packs are sealed. This was launch and recovery was done multiple times and nothing exploded.

 

If you don’t think it’s a problem, why did you bring that up?
