Never hit the send button when you're angry----before you respond...I have/Had a Rivian in Japan, guess where the closest service center is....some cosmetic poo poo, I would not go smearing Rivian over that, the truck didn't leave you stranded 6,135 KM from anyone that can Pronounce RIVIAN
Washington stated they are going to be the most EV friendly state in the country...friendly is open to interpretation, you know , like FAST, HUNGRY, AND BIG
My coworker got a 2024 Jimny, and immediately took it down to an off-road park in Hamamatsu, and well as capable as it it is/was..., I don't think they'd accept it back for warranty work...also in Osaka
also
you missed an awsome Iron Maiden concert!!!!!!

Hea Team, haven't been to active on this forum due to work/travel, I'll answer a few (dated questions)
@timf
how will I handle repairs, There's a EV shop in Yokohama that's been in the business since 92, went there when the truck was delivered, to wake up and update. Also some techs came to...
Oh I am nerved, where we are living, there's large streets, BUT, since most are a wide sidewalk, a buddy brought a big land rover from california, and replaced mirrors more than once.
All the request for Hakkaido, maybe all of you need to come visit for the MUNDO ENDURO!!! you know, hot springs, wheelin with the locals. there's an off road group like 10 miles north of where we are going to be. have to share vids. thanks for the notes Pilots!
Sorry, spelt wrong IGA, the ninja town. a buddy owns a bike shop with his grand dad in Osaka North, he does SUPER MOTO, his grand dad wanted to ride with a gajin, first time since the 70's for him, was cool . old man still did wheelies. Love the national lampoon camp trip...going to wolly world...
Deal, that's bit of a haul from where we'll be, but never say no to a adventure, love going through toll boothes with left drive cars and tell the attendant, where did the wheel go.
I got family in Osaka, personally, think their music seen is the best on this planet,
riding the shinkansen is a blast, have to grab a bento every time the girl goes by.
love Okinawa, lived in hawaii for almost 20 years, so it was like hawaii, but better food, less chance of getting robbed or...
Pilots!!!!!!,
I'll be departing the right side of the road, and heading to Japan, shipping the Rivian on Monday, got a CHADEMO - CCS adapter due to Japan, still uses Chademo, and they are EVERYWHERE. ZThis will be an awsome, exciting, yet nerve wracking change. reach out if you need anything ...
Awsome write up/ Adventure!!!! Nice addition of the point piece as well. YES/NO the government should throw two-tree dollars at EV chargers, they have tossed money towards the oil companies, now help us out, and we'll pay it back.
Awsome adventure too!!!!! bucket list to hit Yosemite park.
Part of the reason I started this thread, I have family in tri-cities, that got a nasty wakey wakey sunday. My sister in law leased a MODEL # back in 19, but turned it in after a month, cause she couldn't get use to the charging vs getting gas, now she'd do anything to have it back. I do feel...
@Debaser949 My neighbor is a 20 something kid with a construction company, he usually drives to Olympia daily for some jobs, says he's spending 125 bucks every 3 days, he had this distraught look last night, so I tossed him the carbineer said you got it for the week, don't bring it back empty, I...
That's a big honking diesel!!!!!, like wow big ouch. A neighbor that runs construction asked to rent my van, hes blasting 120 dollars every 3 days in gas...
