  1. Traded Gen 1 R1T Quad Large in for GMC Sierra ICE

    I frequently advocate for green energy sources, and it’s crucial to understand the facts. Most truck diesel engines produce more CO2 than 35 cars combined, underscoring the issue's enormity. Just because 35 vehicles are on the road doesn’t make it right. I own a Chevy 3500, which I am replacing...

  3. Traded Gen 1 R1T Quad Large in for GMC Sierra ICE

    The short of it is, you are not ready for the EV world where it is as young as ICE was in 1895. Most all of us know the down sides and accept those in return of the power, luxury, and mostly not adding CO2 to our dependents detriment. Your new HMC will vreate +-1,300 lbs of CO2 per 1,000...
  4. Jingle Sound Scare

  5. Article: Elon Musk’s DOGE partner Vivek Ramaswamy says they’ll scrutinize $6.6 billion Biden loan to Tesla rival Rivian

  6. R1T is still amazing!

    I agree. I'm only 2 weeks in with R1T, but having owned many vehicles, primarily trucks, including a recent Jeep, there is no comparison to Rivian, and I'm almost 73! I have owned Fords, Dodges, Jeeps, and Chevys, but none compare.
  7. Southern New England - Are folks driving in the winter?

    Just got back home to Virginia yesterdY after a holiday trip to Connecticut where it was 10 to 25 degrees the two days there. I saw a lot of Teslas at charging stations there, coming and going. I mean a lot, especially for me as EVs are rare where I live. However, I also saw many Rivians and had...

  12. Forbes - Rare Earth Ban (Chinese) Fuels Doubt About The Viability Of The US Auto Industry

    So this will effect battery manufacturing in the US, but does not effect buy batteries built in China, such as those in 2025 R1s. But, battles but in China, and installed in US factories, will be greatly effected if tarrif wars grow after 1/6/25. I know, I personally lost almost $200,000 in...
  13. The efficiency history gauge is propaganda

    I have yet to own an ICE car or truck that consistantly met the EPA efficiency on a sticker. Maybe because I might be heavier footed, or carry loads or use average fuels or EPA rating is just never right. I am 72, I have had a lot of vehicles. Knocking Rivian, or any one manufacturer is wrong...

  16. Rivian reliability is a problem

    Consumer Reports sucks. They only do surveys from their members, those people who pay them for their services. This, as anyone who took Statistics 101, knows skews any study or reporting. Fact: Consumer Reports has been sued many times for their "reporting", and for selling membership personal...
