Agree to disagree, we're getting nowhere. I think Elon's a giant tool, not the EV messiah. You think Robers a lying weasel, not an interesting character. I'm out.

For profit......to be clear. He did it to make money, not to be a good person, or do the right thing, but to futher his fortunes. Sure he might be a curious person by nature, but he didn't do it for free. Rober is giving away $60mil in resources to teachers to further education. There's a...

I can agree with that. We each have a different view based on a myriad of experiences. If we're criticizing character though, I think we have to keep circumstances in mind. Delivering a video that doesn't disclose a conflict of interest is much different than attempting to run a government...

Been getting a lot of false alarms on my truck thsi week. Thought it was the car wash water sitting around so I gave it a few days. They persisted. Checked the front sensors, and two of them have paint peeling off exposing raw metal underneath. Wondering if this is my issue. Add it to the list...

I think you got me confused with someone else, or are using my post to drive a point to someone else. I didn't attack Elon. Also, the work environment at ANY Elon owned company is so absurdly toxic that it's quite a different animal than some videos on YouTube. There's quite a chasm in severity...

He has done? No. He has pushed other teams to get done. If you've ever worked for his company it's a shit show of cash burning, talent exploitation, and poor decisions based on the premise of "failing fast". I've worked with both SpaceX and Tesla professionally, and both companies are a...

Man, so much to unpack here. All based on what feels like overzealous pessimism of intent. I just can't live that way, its exhausting.

If I remember right, he sent the test package to a friend, who then rigged the steal for video footage, so in that case he trusted the wrong guy and didn't' verify accuracy. Also, lets be really clear about the intent of Rober, and YouTube here. He's a creator who delivers media on an...

This is a much more sensical take on the situation. I think "lying weasel" is a bit aggressive myself. Same premise as above. "Didn't work" is far more accurate than "backfire" here. I'll defend Rober a little here. He's done more good than harm overall, and if he gets, well anyone really...

I have the GY OEM 33". They aren't bad, but aren't exceptional either. I think I'm going to try the Continental Terrain Contact A/T's on the next round. Had those on my Sierra and really liked them. Been a Continental fan for years.

Still hard disagree here. My truck has been in the shop every 45 days on average for the entirety of the 21 months it's been in my possession. Of those 16 or so visits, 2 have been for software, of those 2, one was because the service tech didn't follow procedure. The rest has been hardware...

While I do agree that everything is a risk, Rivians is highest among all automakers. It's not anecdotal at this point either; by just about every available objective metric, they are the worst. This is an absurdly outlandish and downright embarrassing take. Expecting a machine to work properly...

Google ads crack me up

I can see that. There are many people that have very similar experiences to yours. Hell, I thought there for a while that it was me being overly picky, or too precise with my expectations. Until I talked to other owners that confirmed they would have had the same issues with the vehicle I did...

Rivian has the 1-2 punch with the R1's of not just being a new model, but being a new manufacturer as well. They also had the added challenge of launching directly after a global pandemic had hamstrung supply chains in an unprecedented way. I'm not saying it should have been a slam dunk, and...
