Not sure why people are concerned with carrying plywood flat. Very few pickups on the road can do that unless it is a dedicated work truck which is a bear to park or drive in the city. I have often put a half dozen or more sheets of plywood in a short bed pickup with the tailgate up when I...
I am no longer in construction so I don't really care but a tail gate down carrying building materials is not fun. I was always worried about stuff falling out on the road. However at 4'-6" which is closer to what I have heard with the tail gate up you can easily carry a half dozen sheets of 4x...
Thank God there will be a non wood option and it might even be cheaper. I just don't care for the wood look in this high tech vehicle though Mercedes pulls it off nicely it just doesn't work here imo. Mercedes woods are so polished and dark you have to really look hard to know they are wood. A...
Yeah he sure did sidestep the Tankturn answer. Lots of legal stuff will have to be considered as if this feature is really available it will undoubtably be used and abused in unbelievable youtube ready ways. Right now doing a donut in a city parking lot will get you a careless driving ticket so...
Too bad they didn't have closer to the production suspension. If anyone has traveled the roads in some of those south and central American countries you know how they could really let you know what you might want to make better. I am sure they still learned a lot.
I would like to see what kind...
I also wonder if there will be a rock mode button where hitting the gas will not come on too fast. 0-60 in 3 seconds could make for a too quick acceleration while moving through rocky terrain. I notice quite a bit of wheel spin in their videos when climbing rocky hills. Since there is no low...
Well the concept of tapping into the local artistic community is very cool and smart. Rivian might become the next hot thing making Tesla kind of corporate and old feeling. How about joining with REI somehow now ? I cant say I really understand how you make a car showroom out of an old theatre...
No rock crawler here except on my dirt bike up to a few years ago, but it will be done. People will find a way including weekend bolt ons no matter how much work. It sure looks like there is a lot of wheel spin though in those videos.
My question would be will we be able to change our configure options after we have seen the actual production vehicle ? I would really like to see the colors interior and exterior before ordering but don't want to loose any more places in line. They should also hopefully tell us which options...
Gee I feel like a hacker. Who knew you could do this and why didn't they make it easier to see in the first place ? 7/16/20 Order # 53667 R1T. Does this mean that there are over 53 K preorders in front of me ?
Yes the things you adjust most frequently are so much better served by buttons. Temp and fan speed and audio volume and station change. I don't even use my steering wheel volume control in my 2017 Infiniti cause the big volume knob near the touch screen is so easy to grab and has easier...
Hey guys I just rewatched a video on Youtube from an auto show "fullychargedshow". The blokes sounded like they were from the UK. Anyway they demonstrated the electric tailgate and there are cables attached in the traditional 90 degree position. Looks like you disengage them manually or...
Gutsy move girl taking an angle grinder to your Model 3. Looks like you need to lift it now. sorry to say it will never be not ugly but you have our respect.
