Tacoma Vs. Rivian

Golf carts have 835hp now?

 

I don’t man, it’s kinda fun to be able to out accelerate a Porsche 911 GT3RS and then go tow 11,000lbs somewhere in the same vehicle.

 

Well, then pass on it.

 

I will…..thanks for your approval

 

Prego

 

Sure, but 314 miles range? That not towing or street racing either.

 

de nada

 

328 miles, get with the times. Where are you going?

 

314 was JUST quoted from their website

 

Your internet must be slow like a golf cart.

 

Nope, but no other vehicles rated to go 314 miles on a tank are going to be able to do that when racing or towing either.

 

So your issue is with range?

 

Ya got me, my bad, the link I pulled ended up being Wiki.

HeJJ it’s only 292 if driven at 70

 

Range
Charge time
Price
Infrastructure
Rolling brown/black outs

 

I can gas up a Tacoma in a few minutes and continue on down the road. Rivin MIGHT get 250 miles at 80.

 

Yep, fuel up is a lot faster. There are definite compromises but having way more power and a far more capable truck is a trade off that’s been worth it so far.

 

Makes sense. Sounds like you're in a rural area. Changes are coming.

 

I suppose it’s all about what capabilities you are looking for and what compromises you are willing to deal with.

 

This is always overlooked.

 

I am……however, California is going to be screwed very soon.

No issues with power here. There are issues if I decide to drive to AZ in the summer. The popularity of electric vehicles is over running the current infrastructure for most states. As a lot of these states, adopt electric vehicles, as the standard, forcing buyers to leave gasoline powered vehicles, the lacking United States electrical infrastructure is going to be much worse.

The electrical infrastructure simply isn’t keeping up with what demand and requirements are going to be. Legislators that are requiring. These changes aren’t smart enough to figure this out.
