The 220v/240v output is for V2H. I can get a portable gas generator but hate the upkeep on those and it’s not as cool as telling people I can power my house with my truck 😀.
I agree with all this.
If I were him, I’d look at tire rack and/or other dealerships. I can understand shortages, but that seems like a very long wait for something that should not be so hard to get.
No, the Ram is a hybrid motor with a long range. There is a small gasoline engine that, as I understand it, never supplies power to the truck's drivetrain but recharges the hybrid battery.
I wouldn't touch Ram/Dodge anything. Partially bias on a dud of a Durango I had years back but mostly because Chrysler/Fiat/Peugeot/Stellantis just always seems a mess hanging on by a thread. Also brands like Dodge and Jeep seem to be most at home at the bottom of the big reliability surveys. Ram trucks tend to do better, but that's still too many red flags for me.
Yeah, a couple Lucid Airs crack 500.
Yeah, same for me with some bad GM/Chevy experiences, which are quite old. As for Ram/Dodge, can't find it, but saw something on the interwebs saying something similar to what you said above.
He checked around and couldn’t find one. I told him he should get them to take a tire from a car on the lot or wherever. They gave him an x7 as a loner and he seems to be content with that. Must really be a special tire.
That’s one nice thing w/luxury brands, the loaners are often quite nice.
The Lucid vehicles look nice on the road, too. Better in person than in photos, IMO.
I'd like to see the new Lucid Gravity. Looks very nice online. Their efficiency tech is incredible, thus the high ranges.
Agree - but it is way too expensive and Lucid lost over $300,000 on each vehicle it sold last quarter. Not sustainable and they would have gone out of business already if not for Saudi money.

There still will be a demand, but I think Tesla knows without the government pushing EV purchases with incentives so the public buys EVs and loans to the EV manufactures to help expand their plants ,the demand will be lower and gas power engines will be pushed for at least the next 4 years .
Neighbor bought one and wrapped it in a matte like white. Best looking one I’ve seen thus far
The worst experience I had using it was getting off an exit ramp where the markings were somewhat washed from construction. It didn’t manage well and I had to take over to avoid going into the shoulder
It all goes back to business 101. Don’t take a dump on the head of your customers. Also trailer trash doesn’t buy Teslas.
There’s a little bit of hyperbole in “no one is buying teslas.” Surely it was assumed market share would shrink as other companies caught up. The Model Y alone is still outselling Rivian 10:1 in California. I think Hyundai and Kia are the real ones to watch.
Depends on who you talked to, but there was definitely those that mocked the idea that "competition is coming".
When your stock is priced for hypergrowth, any decrease in sales is analogous to "no one is buying".
I was down to a Rivian and the Y, just wasn’t very close cost wise and I think Rivian could use a few more years to mature tech/vehicle wise. It’s definitely more of a luxury brand. If it can make something similar to the Ioniq it will get interesting
Filtering out both ends of the spectrum is the way to go.
True, but I'm thinking of a particular person who was the most well versed on the EV topic in this thread.
