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...
I am going the route of a floor trash can to sit and grab the carpet in front of the back floor console. Comes in tomorrow. It is a nice central space that is reachable by all passengers.
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...
Didn't have time to try the jingle, and I am a humble at Christmas. But wanted to add that after a few weeks with a 2025 R1T, I have convinced there is an owl living in our attic.
Should I tell her?
Infrastructure loans and grants are essential for advancing green technologies in the United States. We are significantly lagging behind other countries, and we cannot afford to fall further behind China in critical areas such as electric vehicles (EVs), charging networks, and solar and wind...
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.
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...
I just wanted to add what a great attitude! A genuine Rivian attitude! Life would be so much better if everyone had such attitudes when things happen that impact life.
I believe you will have an even better one on the otherwise of Rivian SC repairs!
As you described, I had a universal joint...
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...
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...
Not news, Rivian had lowered sales forecast m months ago. Reasons being EV market as a whole, competition, factory shut down for retooling more important will be 4th qtr Financials in February.
Also how about reading through Rivian owners groups to form your own opinions, from actual owners. What you will learn is a lot of devoted, happy owners, who majority understand they bought into a young industry, the EV industry, knowing there will be some issues which is natural for any new...
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...
If you go with 2025 R1T with Max, then the post on 2.99% might change your mind. Or the post on the used and show models. There is some good deals there.
