Rivian makes SUV EVs: Rivian R1S right now, the R2 & R3 (hatchback) in the future. However like Tesla, it does not support CarPlay. Keep in mind though that there is a huge difference between GM not supporting CarPlay and Tesla or Rivian doing their own thing. Tesla and Rivian have excellent...

I have no comment on Musk, but I strongly disagree that Tesla are not reliable vehicles -- not only have we had our Tesla Model Y since the summer of 2020, but a number of close friends and relatives also have Tesla EVs, and all of would agree that they are the most reliable vehicles we have...

I'm absolutely mystified by legacy car companies unwillingness (or inability?) to turn their classic cars into long range EVs. Look at VW: the 2019 VW Beetle is a great looking, fun to drive car (one of my last rentals before we got our Tesla in 2020) -- but no -- all you get is the VW iD4...

The typical length of a stop at a V3 Tesla Supercharger is 15 ~ 20 minutes, not "hours". I don't know about you but when we are on a road trip I want to have a break of that length every few hours, to stretch, maybe have a snack or drink, go to the bathroom and give our dogs a short walk...

As someone who's first and only car ever is an EV (before we got it in the summer of 2020, it was strictly public transportation (subways, trains, planes - never a bus fan) and car rentals. I am a very strong EV advocate -- ours (a Tesla Model Y) has been a radically better experience than any...
