Bullshit. Your Rivian eats tires. Exactly. Overall tax burden and government spending does not go down because of EV's, but up. We get to not only pay for the tax subsidy, but also for extra wear and tear on the roads from the extra weight and the cleanup as they rip through tires polluting the air. Once the factory tires are gone. I always go to a higher wear rating and tread warranty tire. Partial to Nokians with the 50-60k tread warranties. my Mustang GT had wore out tires at 15k and the ram 3500 work truck wears its shoes out at 20k. Much quicker then either of my EV’s and tire wear.

Deephaven Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Making up stories again. Buddies Rivian is on his third set of tires in less than 40k miles. Perhaps he drives it like you drove your mustang, but regardless again a heavier car that is otherwise identical to another will eat tires faster. EV's are harder on tires because they are portly.

LoL Friend's son bought a EV for commuting to work to "save on gas". Couldn't make it to his work and home without going into limp mode and needed a recharge. Took it back because it wasn't getting the range that was claimed. Dealer said "nothing wrong with the vehicle your driving to fast". WTF do I need to drive like Ms Daisy? "You need to leave earlier for work and do the speed limit" EV was gone in 3 months. Enjoy your ride Ms Daisy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So some minimal enroute charging the cost savings is a no brainer for a road trip car. 1 set of tires, a couple sets of wiper blades, lost track of washer fluid consumed, and 1 set of cabin air filters.

I'm sure they're both happy to see you Usually stay at hotels visiting family. Never have plugged in at a families house but they are more like an airplane ride away. Wife’s family is all around 30-40 miles from our location. Got 2 chargers in my garage so no need to plug into neighbors. I would never run an extension cord for an EV as to much crate drop. most decent hotels anymore offer free charging for EV’s Edited April 28 by BOHICA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
