It might help if you describe what you are looking for? Many times something can be modified of adapted from an existing model/file.

A little factoid for those worried about your EV and fire: IIRC, 1 gallon of gasoline properly dissolved in air has the explosive force of 80 sticks of dynamite! You probably have all sorts of ignition devices, such as a light switch, which could ignite the gas if your ICE vehicle's tank or...

Hmm, that fee must be something new, I paid no fees and looked at a couple of delear demo vehicles. These weren't second owner vehicles, but ones that Rivian used as demo vehicles, which may change the process some. I also got the full warranty, starting with the mileage that was on the...

I thought about installing the Rivian Integration but then wondered, would i get much benefit from it? What is your take on the integration, what do you like and dislike?

Yeah lying about your "future" products does harm to others. Elon has been less than honest about a lot of things, including his lie about taking Tesla private, which was nothing more than a manipulation of Tesla's stock price. Acting as though everyone does it and accepting it as "the way...

I've always looked at a loaner as a benefit since I'm putting mileage on their vehicle. Yes, tough to not have your toy, but at least you have something comparable. If you purchased from a lot of other manufacturers they would give you the keys to a subcompact POS and act like they are doing...

You might look into Cerakote instead of powder coat. If you have a spray gun, you can do Cerakote at home. Sine they have coatings that cure in the air at room temp, you don't need to bake things. The biggest drawback may be the limited gloss available, but matte and satin finishes look good...

Exactly my point, and the point of the article, we haven't and we aren't making the investments needed, other countries are moving forward while we are stuck in pessimistic thought. As for batteries, heat is the current (pun not intended) limitation based on the current technologies. Keep in...

In the article they mention that different battery technology is required for the super fast charging to occur, so I'm assuming you agree with that part of the article? It sounds like BYD is well on their way to production scale of new battery technologies that can handle the rapid charge...

Yes, but economies of scale and practical experience tend to lower prices and improve technology, look at photovoltaics as an example. The first solar cells were more than a million dollars per watt and now you are below a dollar per watt for a solar panel. I don't understand your analogy...

Did you stop at the gremlin farm on your travels? Maybe a few of them escaped and are now residing in you Rivian!

Plenty of people install electrical stuff without a proper fuse. I purchased a boat and found wires with the insulation melted, I guess the previous owner was lucky they had a boat to sell me. I've also seen laptop batteries catch fire, did the owner have a laptop that was left in the vehicle...

I purchased my R1T through the demo sales website/program. It can be a very frustrating experience and you'll need to take a trip if the vehicle isn't local to you. Getting answers as to the condition of the vehicle and what all the options are (such as the sound system, tonneau cover, and...

I'm jealous, did you see this article that appeared in the NY Times about BYD's Megawatt chargers that can give you a couple of hundred miles of range in 5 minutes? It is sad to think we, "the most advanced country on the planet" probably won't have this technology for several years. Sad to...

Ok, while your comments are mostly correct, some statements aren't correct. 1. If the resistance is high in a circuit because JRM, While I agree with some of your comments, some of your statements are inaccurate or need some clarification. 1. When the resistance in a circuit is high, whether...

Nope, PDR isn't going to get that back to original. It looks like the paint is scratched, and there is significant metal that was bent. Since the other driver was at fault, you should be able to choose where you get the work done, and the other driver's insurance has to pay. I'd run it...

Smear honey around the interior, then the bear will give you a nice close portrait of its face. I've camped in places where the bears recognize ice chests as food and peel the door on a car open like they were opening a can of sardines; if that happens i wonder what the rebear (repair) bill...

I agree, my statements may not work for all people, but certainly the majority of people aren't equipped to pick individual stocks, if for no other reason than they don't have the tools, or access to rapid trading. For example as news events happen the small investor can't respond like a large...

Best advice, don't buy individual stocks unless you are prepared to lose your investment. The large investment banks trade in milliseconds, your order is completed in minutes at best and more typically at the end of the day. Yeah some people have gotten lucky, but the market is rigged against...

A couple of years ago I read an article where they took a Ford's infotainment system apart and looked at all the stored data and the data sent to Ford, it was unbelievable the data they captured. Most any modern vehicle has the same capability to spy on the users of the vehicle, data is big...
