I absolutely love every minute driving my Tesla 3 LR.
However, my wife's 2008 Volvo C30 is fab...going strong and very distinguished on the road!
Kind of a modern Volvo P1800.
But I would like to replace it in the next two years with an EV!
My three choices to replace her C30 would be a CUV Electric Vehicle.
There are 3 top models contending for the win:
Tesla Y
Volvo XC40 Recharge
Nissan Ariya
Nissan shows Ariya EV, their upcoming Tesla Model Y competitor - Electrek
I am smitten with the elegant smooth design of the NIssan Ariya.
Nissan promises OTA updates and the best one pedal driving in the EV world, and battery cooling
(BTM or battery thermal management)
Now, if Nissan would "buy into" the Tesla Supercharger network, then I'm sold!!
Hear, Hear.....Rivian should read the tea leaves and REALLY join the Tesla Supercharger network.
They got everything right except for the charging network.
For the Big Dollars they're asking....Rivian customers deserve the BEST SC network on earth! ...... TESLA
Absolutely, The Tesla Supercharger Network is a humungous moat which other OEM car manufacturers refuse to acknowledge.
It will only take one OEM manufacturer to bite the bullet and embrace the Tesla SC network.
I pray that NIssan (or Volvo or Jaguar) will be the first to join the SC train.
IMHO, many many scores of OEM car owners will jump on board if available.
Finally, IF the Nissan Ariya was available to access the Tesla SC network, I for one would be willing to pay
up front money for this option. (Tesla SC access)
I would say its probably worth $3.000 as an option!!

If Rivian had a charging network like Tesla and could actually drive it 400+ on a charge, I might switch to one of those (pickup)

Had Audi, Lexus, Volvo and other fine cars before, but my model S P85D is truly the best car I ever had. Love to drive this spaceship! Yet fit and finish is not the best but still acceptable. Really can't go back to an ICE car.
Almost bought a Jaguar I-Pace but the ride, speed and technology don't even come close to the model S...
if it gets better, I'll place an order for a pick-up performance with a big P!
Totally agree...hopefully I will one day afford the Tesla S...my nest Tesla model.

My major concern with other EV companies is the charging network. The CCS chargers so far are pretty scarce and not very powerful. We don't use Superchargers all the time by any means, but they are still essential for our use of an EV.
