  1. No Longer Wish to Use Tesla Supercharger Network

    Did a quick search of the forum and did not see a similar thread. Keep in mind I am literally off my meds right now, so apologies in advance if this is all too crazy for you guys. I have never been a "throw the baby out with the bathwater" person. If Tesla prices are down, seems like a great...
  2. What are your thoughts on a 10 yr or 11 yr / 100,000 miles - 150,000 miles bumper to bumper extended warranty by Fidelity Warranty Services

    Makes sense as the reason you would not purchase a third-party extended warranty is due to Toyota (Lexus) stellar reliability reputation. Unfortunately, it is not very logical. I am a big fan of Land Cruisers have owned and operated several over the years. There is nothing magical about...
  3. What are your thoughts on a 10 yr or 11 yr / 100,000 miles - 150,000 miles bumper to bumper extended warranty by Fidelity Warranty Services

    No way The Oracle of Omaha buys a third-party extended warranty. The patience Warren Buffet is referring to relates to compounding interest, dividend yields, and rolling them back in to well diversified investments; different asset classes. The guy recommends multiple passive revenue streams...
  4. What are your thoughts on a 10 yr or 11 yr / 100,000 miles - 150,000 miles bumper to bumper extended warranty by Fidelity Warranty Services

    Put that $3,836 in VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF) and maybe add $250 at least every year; simulating a deductible being paid for a potential extended warranty service at least annually. If you are more risk-averse, do the same in a high-yield (4%+ APY) saving account. Use those funds to pay...
  5. G1 motor fault and system fault -FIXED

    Hate it for you and really hope resolution is quick and effective.
  6. RJ quote: more sensors (including radar & lidar) is a way to catch up to Tesla's camera-only autonomous driving system

    RJ might actually believe that. I do not really care. Tesla deserves props for a bunch of "firsts." A company can be first or make a better product. Rivian, like many other manufacturers is in position to capitalize on Tesla's firsts in machine learning and potentially do it better in the not...
  7. RJ quote: more sensors (including radar & lidar) is a way to catch up to Tesla's camera-only autonomous driving system

    Very reminiscent of Tesla stating "feature complete" with all the hardware you will ever need. ;)
  8. RJ quote: more sensors (including radar & lidar) is a way to catch up to Tesla's camera-only autonomous driving system

    Profitability, that is net positive profitability has got to be their main focus. This can't happens with the product issues and customer service issue Rivian has now.
  9. RJ quote: more sensors (including radar & lidar) is a way to catch up to Tesla's camera-only autonomous driving system

    Tesla left out the part about humans having two ears, tactile sense, ability to detect changes in pressure and temperature, and rationalize those sensory inputs under different situations: Observe, Orient, Decide, Act (OODA loop) or use vasoconstriction, auditory exclusion, and tunnel vision in...
  10. [Un-Resolved again!] Why am I doing this to myself - long time Rivian customer close to giving up.

    Ugh, I feel your pain though never was tested the way you have been. Rivian is not going to survive this way.

  12. Video: A Rivian & Power Wagon attempt a sketchy difficult trail!

    I love wheeling with and seeing others wheel with disparate rigs. Really boring when everyone has the same or similar rigs. Different vehicles have different capabilities and limitations and encourages learning and innovation.
  13. Ford Says Large Electric Trucks And SUVs Have 'Unresolvable' Problems

    I do not think it is a matter of Ford "not being up to the challenge" regarding production of Large EV SUV's and Trucks, rather they are up to the challenge of being profitable. By no means am I a Ford fan, however, I am not willing to count them out. All manufacturers are about to realize how...
  14. Ford Says Large Electric Trucks And SUVs Have 'Unresolvable' Problems

    You are not wrong. I am more worried about the world burning (like high order detonation) significantly quicker by other anthropomorphic means at the moment. Might even lose my job too, and I do not mean as Chairman of the Federal Reserve.
  15. Ford Says Large Electric Trucks And SUVs Have 'Unresolvable' Problems

    I doubt most people care. We have close family friends who love EV's and have zero interest in their environmental impact.

    Good call, "buy once, cry once" as one of my astute colleagues always says!
