Even Rivian is afraid of the warranty liability post factory warranty :CWL: $16k is atrocious!

My quote was sky high. A Launch Edition R1T with 72,000 miles will cost $16k for 4 years of coverage.

I don’t have their EVSE, so can’t speak for it through experience but my Unifi network system has been rock solid for several years.

Although the thread has reached the over I’m considering launching a formal complaint with the commissioner’s office for thread packing

Fax is still a mainstay in the exchange of medical records between different hospital systems, so I wouldn’t call it obsolete.

I definitely think so. It would take a LOT for me to consider buying a car from a legacy automaker again. Software is very important to me.

I agree with this except for the geometry. Almost all EVs have much worse angles. Your article sums it up well > for most folks who...

Ground clearance is just one part. R2 approach angle is 25 degrees and Trailseeker is less than 18. R2 will go pretty much anywhere a...

Who thinks it can corner like an exotic? 🤔

Yes, that's the problem. It should shut it all down, like the IOD fuse on ICE, for shipping.

I dunno where you live, but here in upstate NY the difference between 6 and 9 inches of clearance is huge.
