Yep, typically soy. As a bonus........the Great Stuff foam that everyone uses to plug holes to keep mice/rats out............yep, also made of Soy. It's like plugging hole with tacos to keep me out. :cool:

I sure hope Rivian does a better job than Ford. I own a 21 MME and while it does get updates over the air, they regularly break something else in the process, or turn off a feature you use regularly. They are getting better but I would not say it is great by any stretch of the imagination...

I have a 21 MME and use PAAK exclusively. That being said, if my phone is in my back pocket when I approach the car it can be hit or miss if it connects. Phone in hand is usually not an issue.

Thank you for the review. Both the i4 and Macan are on my short list for next vehicle

Not the first time I've heard that. It can be a bit polarizing I guess

I'm happy with mine. I do agree it charges slow and makes road trips much longer than I would like. I'm at 104k+ miles so it's time to start looking for a replacement. that's why I'm here...........really like the Macan

on my car, yes 2021 Ford Mach E. Not familiar with how or why on the Macan

Mine open on really hot days when DCFC

I drive a Mach E. I got hit in the grill by a piece of truck tire that got kicked up by the car in front of me. Louvers were damaged but didn't seem that bad. Replace the louvers and be done. Wrong. It is one piece across the whole front of the car, cooling radiator directly behind them was...

Hey, just want to make sure that any of my comments are not to demean you or imply you screwed up in any way. We are all learning to manage these situations. Sound like the dealer did you a solid by grabbing a new car and just didn't think to check it's charge. EVs are new to most manufacturers...

I just want to add that I think the dealer did you a disservice by letting you leave with a loaner that had little charge. That should not have happened, IMHO

I always take mine on trips just in case. Other than plugging in at my parents place I have never had to use it. It does carry piece of mind tho

I'm glad to see the on board nav takes into account much more than just distance. I've only been driving an Ev for a little over 3 yrs now and I learned a lot on this journey. Back up plans are your friend when traveling. Never rely on just your first choice to be enough. My FIL recently...

Yes. Also, the EA app (for example) will tell you how many chargers are available, working or occupied for a given location. I generally try and have a couple of options planned out and not just assume a given location will be fine

Unfortunately finance or lease are my options. I am able to put a sizable down payment but not the full amount.
