Below the $70,000 threshold Rivian CFO Claire McDonough announced that the Rivian R1S and R1T will have a new battery next year. Rivian plans to release a new battery for R1 vehicles in addition to the new standard battery that will also arrive next year. “Introducing the new battery pack for the R1 vehicles.  [It] saves thousands of dollars by reducing additional weight,” McDonough said. “This is another example of some of the new technologies that will emerge over the next year that will be key to the operational and cost efficiencies that will be enabled by these deployments.” [caption id="attachment_85743" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Rivian cars[/caption] A cheaper and lighter battery will reduce prices for Rivian cars as early as 2024 The new battery will not only be much cheaper to manufacture, but also lighter and easier to assemble than any of Rivian's current battery packs. The new, simplified battery pack could allow Rivian to lower the starting price of its R1 cars below the $70,000 threshold. Claire McDonough also reported that Rivian's assembly lines will shut down for several weeks in the second quarter of 2024 to prepare for the introduction of new R1 batteries and configurations. Interestingly, she mentioned that Rivian will introduce "three battery packs, two different drive units, and a completely new network architecture."

Why electric cars are not the best choice for taxi drivers Tesla cars, and electric vehicles in general, may not be the best choice for drivers of Uber or other ride-hailing services who make a living doing it, according to a story published on the YouTube channel Out of Spec Guide. The owner of the new Tesla Model Y said that the car was purchased in April 2021. A year later, he drove about 64 thousand km, after which the electric car began to show less and less remaining range when the battery was fully charged. [caption id="attachment_85500" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Tesla Model Y[/caption] Initially, the range on a full charge was 525 km, but after a week the estimated range was just over 418 km. Tesla eventually issued an error BMS_a066 - “Maximum battery level and range may be reduced.” A week later the car stopped charging. The owner made an appointment at a Tesla service center, where he was informed that the high-voltage battery needed to be replaced and all this would be done under warranty, since the electric car was only one year old. This Tesla Model Y is already running on its third battery after only 100,000 km. As the owner later found out, he did not receive a new battery. If the battery is replaced under warranty, Tesla will provide a remanufactured battery that uses used cells instead of new ones. After just 30,000 km, the car again displayed the same error, indicating that the replacement battery had also failed. The second time, the owner went to another Tesla service center, where he had the battery replaced within a week. https://youtu.be/o3E2bIbek-M Today he has about 170,000 km on the odometer, that is, he has driven more on the second replacement battery, but the battery warranty expires at 190,000 km, which means that next time he may have to shell out more than $10,000 for replacement out of your own pocket.
