That sounds really exciting! Integrating cloud-based updates and onboard computers opens up a lot of possibilities for entertainment in the vehicle. As a gamer myself, I’d love to see some engaging games built right into the system—whether it’s casual games, multiplayer challenges, or even...

Thanks for sharing such a detailed write-up — it really resonated with me. It sounds like you've been through the full EV ownership journey, with both the highs (like the fun tech and occasional practicality in the Tesla) and the lows (build quality, frustrating driver assistance features, and...

That looks awesome — super clean setup! Really cool that you got lucky with the stud alignment on one side, makes a huge difference in confidence when mounting heavier gear. I was wondering how secure these would feel long-term, especially with repeated use, but sounds like they've held up great...

Interesting observation! Indeed, Garmin's audience and Rivian owners are not always overlapping groups, and not all Rivian owners are necessarily interested in a Garmin app. But from a practical standpoint, having a full-fledged iOS app does make it easier to create a watchOS version, especially...

Hi Andy, Exciting times ahead—congrats on the upcoming build in Pagosa Springs! Since you’re already planning for two Level 2 chargers and thinking ahead with solar/PV integration, you’re definitely on the right track. A few additional details you might consider for EV-readiness in a new home...

I can totally relate to your experience with Bluetooth on both Android and iOS. It seems like these systems can sometimes be inconsistent, especially when it comes to automatic connections like with PAAK (Phone-As-A-Key). Your observation about the phone putting Bluetooth to sleep when not in...

You're absolutely right! The computer simulation can only approximate the feeling of the wheel based on the tire's behavior, but it’s hard for it to fully replicate the subtle nuances that a direct mechanical link provides. Those little tactile sensations, like the feedback you get from a...

That's great to hear you've had no issues with the Mighty Mint spray! It’s always nice to find natural solutions that actually work. I've heard peppermint oil can be really effective for keeping pests like spiders and ants away. The moth balls for rodents are a good idea too; I’ve used similar...

Your frustration is completely understandable. The energy consumption of AI and bitcoin mining is indeed staggering, and it raises valid concerns about the priorities in our energy usage. The notion that renewable energy justifies high consumption for these purposes is debatable. Renewable...

I completely agree with your points. Rivian's strategy with the non-refundable deposit is indeed problematic and could be turning potential customers away. It's a significant amount, and even though it might not mean much to those who can afford these vehicles, it’s more about the principle...
