The heated steering wheel on the Ford works. It goes on automatically at very low temperatures. I've never used it otherwise. Both Ford and Rivian have good ventilated seats. The Rivian's are more effectively for cooling airflow. There's so many creature comforts in the Ford, it's got things...

I have the F-150 Prius and the R1T. Much as I like driving the Rivian, that's it's forte … driving for fun, not for utility. A pickup truck is defined by its bed, and to some extent towing and cabin comforts as a family car and a mobile office. The Ford is the superior pickup truck. Here's my...

So far, no hit to $RIVN despite being down day across the board.

Well, congratulations of a sort. I hope the 50K number is really the 60K+ that's been suggested. There's presumably no shortage of demand. I wonder how many of those units were built and delivered EDVs.

Which podcast? I'm not talking about marketing content, just the facts pertaining to the performance of Rivian as a vehicle manufacturer. There's no question building a version 1.0 vehicle is complicated, but the issues in question pertain to mass production, quality, support, service, the...

The Rivian marketing people should have taken that second semester of classwork and learned that brand development takes 7 years … and most big corporates … rebrand within 7 years … they don't got seven years, they barely have se7en quarters. Rivian needed to go with another hand-me-down...

As news of this spreads, I wonder how many thousands of R1T owners will be rushing out to their truck to check …

Yep. I (STUPIDLY!) passed on a Lightning Pro order shortly after getting the R1T … the Pro is now either "not available" or when it is available, the price has gone from the original $41,769 to $61,869 (FFS!) and Ford, unlike Tesla, has no notion of fixed price order … you pay the market price...

"Delayed to April" – L U X U R Y ! ! ! My R1S order was bumped to "don't call us, we'll call you" (end of '24) … that's a pre-IPO pre-order … I have an R1T from a 'day one' (Nov 2018) pre-order … glad I didn't agree with the Guide to "wait and see, should be real s00n now" for the max pack...

If you would, please video and capture any tips and tricks for the DIY.

Really unlucky timing. If you know any locals, there are other beaches and off-road destinations. Still, nothing beats waking up on the beach to the sound of the surf. Takes you back to a time …

It hasn't been like this in years. Not that I want my new toy full of sand in the window seals and salt in the underbody, but it would be nice to tow the jet skis onto the beach like the good old days. In about 6 weeks, Pismo will be great for a few weeks, then the RVs will arrive and about 1%...

check the torque on the bolts that hold the steering rack (I've seen them loose on an R1)

My post doesn't discuss whatever you're on about.

I don't trade on IB or use any of the handy dandy short interest sites. On tastytrade $RIVN is no longer HTB. I haven't been trading $RIVN since $35. I like the idea of a short stock, long cheap call trade. I'll look at that when $RIVN is heading lower. Right now, $RIVN is dead in the water...

Agreed. The pedestals face 180 degrees away from each parking spot that's close enough for the connector to reach the R1. Just getting the connector to the vehicle requires twisted it and hold against the side load of the cable. Someone didn't read the schematic. I saw a photo of diagonal...

I don't know if you could short it now even if you wanted to short a $12 stock. It's listed as HTB and I imagine there's an interest burden to match the risk. I didn't have the sense to short $RIVN at $130, I'm not going to start shorting at $13 … : )

The market and even the tax office consider the Model Y an "SUV" (it's at best a crossover, or what used to be a called a hatchback or "five door.") Ford's already shown their idea of the next Explorer EV in the Europe market, it's smaller … about the size of … the Model Y. A minivan would...

Right on both counts: A Rivian Model Y (R2S) is the only way to go. A Rivian Maverick (R2T) would be a slam dunk if they can deliver at the Maverick price. If Rivian builds anything other than a copy-paste of the Model Y, they're nuts. Tesla has proven the winning product offering to be more...

What? I can only suggestion using separate sentences. You have found tie-down hardware that fits the plastic bed liner where there's existing threads in the body. You've drilled that hardware with a new hole to line up with the existing threads in the body. A single threaded machine screw with a...
