My wife is considering the new Prius and the numbers just don't work well to justify spending an additional $4,800 for the Prime. Even if she only drove it in electric mode, using no gas at all, it's 200k miles before breaking even (only factoring in power/gas usage). With prices for...

I'd say the Civic won in that case.

Guess Munro went too far in removing fasteners...

I didn't get past "up to 400 miles in the R1S"...

I won't be surprised when they won't allow me to buy a full-size spare for my R1S because it didn't come equipped that way...

Have any owners here ever been asked about their usage of the 12v frunk outlet??

I've started using these No-Spill gas cans and MUCH prefer them over the old regular plastic ones. They're true to word and don't leak, splash or have any issues. So much so that I carry them inside my SUV after filling up, something I would've never considered doing with regular cans. Is it...

At the very least, when this decision was made, someone should've updated the website and owners manuals to reflect the changes before the customers received their vehicles with said changes. Not sure why this is hard. These stupid little mistakes are what make me question Rivian's viability as...

Unlike most, I doubt this is totaled. The Civic submarined under the R1T, and never made bumper-to-bumper contact, so frame damage is unlikely. The Civic's mushy parts made contact with the trucks bumper, hence barely feeling anything. With Florida's 80% damage-to-value threshold, I just...

It's a good card. I usually redeem my points for gift cards to various places, and if you're patient, the gift cards occasionally go on sale to places that rarely have discounts like Lowe's or Home Depot at 10% off. Makes my money go farther. No charge to get physical gift cards mailed to you...

Okay, maybe I'm missing something, but it doesn't appear this is just blowing air under the truck. Figure 7 shows a pretty defined inlet and exhaust around the battery from the ventilation system. Surely that wouldn't just be air intakes to the outside air, right? Are you supposed to connect...

So... do the turning front wheels charge the battery when it's still plugged in? I'll bet that's a scenario the engineers didn't think about. :CWL:

Since I'm in a state they don't seem to be delivering to, yeah, probably. Thanks NC...

I hope it's really reflective and that my retinas are seared before having to witness that atrocity in person.

On the flip side, if they're going to limit us to ~110mph or so, there's extra gearing capacity already there, so regear the main ratios to allow for more torque down low in off-road situations. Definitely not as effective as these nifty contraptions, but not a bad option for standard...
