I have an F800GSA that needs about $5k of work, wife has a Himalayan and wants to ride trails together... so it's pretty hard not to look at skipping $5k in maintenance, plus $5k in incentives at Zero, plus $5k in trade in value... suddenly an expensive new bike is basically saving money ?

I'm not sure if my truck go smaller or my bike got bigger, but glad she (barely) fits. (I quickly switched to beefier ratchet straps, these were the wrong choice.)

Yeah, this is just more grist for the haters to froth over, but nothing interesting. Electricity costs vary. I pay $0.07/kWh in Oregon, which is well under a quarter of the equivalent price for an ICE truck (with best case assumptions for the ICE efficiency and fuel costs). I pay closer to...

Somehow visiting the UBCO product page ended with me registering for a test drive of a Zero DSR/X. This feels like a dangerous trajectory.

I think it's easy to overestimate how many people will cross-shop the cybertruck and R1T. In reality I suspect the overlap is pretty small. It's kind of like cross-shopping a Razer Blade and a MacBook Pro; sure, it happens, and the capability overlap is real, but the target buyer (in terms of...

There's a whole category of ruggedized teardrops too, if you're looking for something a little more four-season friendly and that you can use in places that need hard sides (e.g. bear country). Something like the TOPO2 Teardrop Trailer or Black Bean Off-Road Trailer are probably the flagships...

Tesla's guess-o-meter is absolute garbage compared to the R1T, I've been shocked. Our Model Y (and previously our Model 3) very often lies by 30% or more about the expected range and will hold the lie until late in the drive before suddenly plummeting. I've nearly gotten stuck before when the...

I'm feeling really good about having made a big buy at $13, but I'm wishing I'd bought two or three times as much... still got an IPO hole to dig back out of ?

Gonna be hard to beat Doctor Successfully Performs World's First Rivian-Powered Vasectomy.

Is this the low-speed motor knock some folks (me) are getting or something else?

Yeah, the wood mockup photo tells the whole story. The front crumble zone is your tibia.

The world needs more vehicles like this, IMO. The whole problem with our automotive obesity crisis is the race to solve all problems with mass (more batteries, more bulk, more wheelbase...) which then creates a collision arms race (more mass wins) and drives up pedestrian deaths, emissions, road...

In addition to what other folks have noted, I find that the vents get "plugged" pretty easily by anything that forms a relatively tight seal. If my flabby back is flush against the car seat, I don't feel much. If I learn forward a half inch, it's a lovely breeze on my shirt. Almost feels like a...

Until Rivian has significant unsold inventory (little evidence that this is the case), they absolutely should not be cutting prices. Remember that this puts the lightning well above its "launch" pricing from last year. There are more R1Ts on the road than Lightnings, Hummer EVs, and Cybertrucks...

So cool! Game cam mode ??

I grabbed around a thousand shares at $13 and change, so I'm pretty happy ? Still underwater on the stock overall due to going in too enthusiastically during the early EV Madness stages, but I've got most of it back. Still hoping to hold for the long haul.

That makes some sense, I also have more rust than expected on a couple of my channel mounted accessories. Thanks!

I'll offer another positive vote for the Condor Overland - I have a gen 1 just over a year old and am still happy with it. I wrote it up here: Roofnest Condor Overland Roof Top Tent (RTT) + R1T | Rivian Forum - R1T R1S R2 News, Specs, Models, RIVN Stock -- Rivianforums.com My only complaint...

Yeah, not that big, and notoriously conservative (in terms of tech adoption, not politics). I'm just not sure I see how they can sustain a whole company in that niche.

I'm hoping it's both - I would love the accessory for my tent, but I also have brake lights on my bike rack because my bike wheels can hide the main brake lights from some angles; I don't need another CHMSL for that, I just need to be able to use my rack lights without nerfing my car ?
