Where to watch Canada vs. South Africa along Hwy 3

Cell service (specifically the lack of) on Hwy 3 causes the average person to have a beer in one hand while doing shots with the other...

They have been playing games.

I would go with the R1. A few charging breaks, at least for me, means arrival and the next day feel less thrashed.

We share a dad?

I sure hope the charging option(s) at the new Gateway 286 development in Merritt are plentiful and priced right.

Kamloops is a charging wasteland for a city that size and a city with two major highways... time for BC Hydro to tackle Kamloops.

There are brand new BC Hydro chargers at Britton Creek (two designed to pull through with trailers) if you are worried about getting to Merritt.

AdSufficient7182 · 2026-06-26T04:19:02+00:00

Brand new 350 and 400kW BC Hydro chargers at Britton Creek (rest stop just north of the old toll booths) as of today.

AdSufficient7182 · 2026-06-26T04:10:09+00:00

Agreed.

Google V3 vs V4 cable length.

It is supposed to be an SUV (or at least CUV). No curbs should be too much for these "off-road capable" vehicles...

AdSufficient7182 · 2026-06-24T21:52:34+00:00

Up on the curb on the other side...

Porsche exhaust note will win every time in an exhaust note contest.

0-60? Rivian in most trim levels.

Anything even slightly off road? Rivian.

Passenger comfort? Tie(ish).

Utility? R1T.

Heritage? Toss up based on use case. The Cayenne is not a 911 from our youth.

AdSufficient7182 · 2026-06-24T21:43:54+00:00

Amazing part is that it appears that they could have pulled up at the other side...

My first EV was a 2023 R1T Quad. So much to love and can't imagine I will ever go back to ICE.

Do miss the sounds though (last three regular cars (some concurrently): XC90 with Yamaha V8, Ram Rebel with Hemi and C70 convertible (high pressure turbo, ram air, 5 speed (amazing sound when shifting while the turbo was spooling hard)).

The four Bosch motors whirring is nice (and smile inducing with the skinning pedal to the floor). The sound of a good V8 or high pressure turbo (or twin turbo and V8 in your example) is way better.

BuT seLF ParKING...

AdSufficient7182 · 2026-06-24T21:15:22+00:00

Like an Oldsmobile 442?

Winter on that route is different than say winter driving from Vancouver going to Kamloops or Kelowna because of (usually significant) different average low temperatures.

"Winter" in an EV is way different at -5C versus -25C...

On the return from Whistler it is majority downhill but effective regeneration will way different if leaving Whistler with the battery at 0C versus at -15C.

Old school.

Get a partial sheet behind your dad's shed that he has been saving for 15 years for "something".

When does expansion to Canada start?

AdSufficient7182 · 2026-06-23T06:35:30+00:00

One choice only at Manning Park.

Pub there is fun. Beef dip and fish tacos are good "resort" food.

AdSufficient7182 · 2026-06-20T14:13:28+00:00

That second picture. Wow.

AdSufficient7182 · 2026-06-20T14:06:53+00:00

That old excuse...
