Speculating anything at this time is just as pointless. Should wait till either the owner speaks up, the police releases the report, or Rivian actually talks for once.
I doubt it. Already they've delayed Tank Turning due to the safety complications it has potentially presented. 4 Wheel Steering will add even more complications to the equations Rivian has to fine tune to get Tank Turning perfected. If they do implement 4 wheel steering, I fear it will be at the...
I fail to see the relevance. Rivian IS a smaller truck. Majority of us know this. What's the issue if appears its size? Is appearing larger a necessary component? Are people wanting to perform some sort of intimidation factor by having the truck appear larger than what it is?
To me the truck...
Funny as this is. This also doesn't need a $70k+ vehicle to use. That Rivian didn't include a Homelink-like feature on a vehicle this expensive is a slip on their behalf. Just like it's a slip that they didn't OEM a swivel-like door on the back of the R1S for a full sized spare tire. For the...
This was my very first vehicle! Man, you just took me back :D I had so much fun with this car till it got broken into and taken for a joy-ride before it got stripped for parts ?
Can't help but agree here. All those empty locations that were already established as a service center would be a great snatch and could be easily converted to accommodate Rivian's requirements, not to mention how less expensive it will be to reformat it.
I'm not sure how I feel about Rivian with Targa tops. In my youth I owned at least 3 vehicles with one and though I enjoyed them immensely, I do recall what a nightmare it was to maintain it. I'd rather not go through that with my Rivian, especially considering how new the Rivians are in the...
Yes. Taycan is designed to be more sportier. But as I mentioned above, the Lucid was just as impressive to drive (and I'm an avid supporter of the Porsche). It is still subjective. That you found the Lucid less impressive was your experience, not mine (hence why this is all subjective).
I...
This is subjective. I've driven both the Taycan and the Lucid. I found both to be just as appealing and just as fun to drive. Lucid has a good advantage regarding mileage/range. Both are comfortable inside and have a good looking interior. Porsche has the advantage of well established build...
To be fair, it's the weakness of all vehicles. The difference being is that I.C.E.s have a lot more options to help mitigate that mileage loss (larger gas tank capacity, quicker refueling rates, etc, etc).
That we'll see greater ranges when battery tech starts churning out more efficient...
Nissan has the Leaf. I wouldn't recommend anything EV from them based on the Leaf experiences. Toyota (supposedly) announced their EV Tacoma, but we wont see those for a few.
What? You're not wrong. 5 Guys is the SHIZNET! :cool:
Even with those laws in place, dealers know the 'language' well enough to get away with marking up the vehicles. This won't change until they come down hard on dealerships. Why do you think soo many are against direct-to-buy like Tesla and Rivian are deploying? Dealerships won't be able to get...
That's not going to stop dealerships from artificially inflating vehicle's prices. If they see an item is a hot seller, regardless of supply meeting demand, a good chunk of them will the item up.
Yep, I kinda was addressing that regarding the handshake comment. I am glad to hear someone else isn't facing the problems I have heard of and/or personally experienced with EA. Alas, for me, I'm over EA. They need to step up their game.
Can't say I agree with this prediction. 3 years is a short time away. By then we'll (hopefully) see graphene and Solid State batteries making some sort of debut and although they (according to studies) will grant more energy dense options a lower weights, the costs of these batteries will still...
In part it's not my pure dislike of EA. It's more like I'm over them. Too many issues regarding handshakes & Kw dispensed and too many of them in need of maintenance. I just grew tired of them. I almost invested into them (VW for their electrified division, which would include EA), but issues I...
