One thing I've noticed is that EA chargers tend to be out for no reason. There's a number on the side of each which - if called - can pop them back into service. Feels incredibly stupid when you're going from futuristic EV tech to calling in to a switchboard, but it is what it is. I'm between...

Just commentary on the quality That was me! I think he's just a dork ass loser, no comment on political anything. That part's all you. My reasoning: he's a turd because he's unfunny and obnoxious and inserts himself everywhere. Taking a pot shot at one of the wealthiest and most powerful...

If you think it's his recent twitter comments that make Musk a piece of shit, I can see why you'd have the opinion you do. Others have other reasons. Bottom of the barrel cringe tier 'own the libs' content will always get some low hanging fruit from easily-enraged activists and easily-amused...

Wow, humor really is such a personal thing, isn't it? :CWL::angel:

You forgot the poll that's not related to your title/thesis. Let me suggest "Is Elon an unfunny turd whose kids hate him?" Pretty darn happy with my support too. Have had a few small issues but CS has been attentive and responsive.

It's frustrating because my much, much cheaper Subaru from the 2010s has perfectly fine voice integration through Android auto, and you can just push a button on the steering wheel to engage the voice assistant or naturally respond to texts and such without having to debase yourself by speaking...

Anything you can say about the weight carrying properties of the tray? When I think aluminum I don't generally think resilience and tensile strength, but I'm no expert and don't necessarily have the right intuition for this sort of thing.

This is heartening news, I'm averaging ~1.2 mi/kwh on the 20" ATs, mostly shorter trips, around the cold (~40F) and hilly PNW. Maybe when summer and the attendant road trips come I'll be able to get closer to these numbers.

Not trying to further antagonize here, but the argument in the video, at least as he lays it out, also ignores those points. So I didn't address them. Feel free to bring any other info you have about the guy to the table as I don't know him from Adam. I didn't mean to strike that nerve in...

You're totally ignoring the part about how EV trucks don't suit his use case at all, or his living arrangements, and he already owned vehicles that did everything just fine for him. And I know he came out on top here from a business perspective, but my response was mostly to his framing of the...

It does seem irresponsible to own a bunch of EVs when you're 1. cash constrained and 2. off grid with limited access to electrons. And 3, I guess, looking to do a lot of towing. Just not a good fit for this guy's lifestyle. Now, my mall crawling lifestyle on the other hand? Match made in heaven.

Show me where on the doll the virtue signaled you. "Vegan leather", as dumb as it is, has been around for a good while as a term and is now just descriptive. Using the equivalent of a tank of gas to make a product that will last decades (and is possibly reclaimable?) isn't in the same realm as...

yeah I found that after posting this, you have to go into the forum and click the appropriate thread. signed up for one, thanks.

I'd sign up but am not going to make yet another forum id. Is there a mailing list or something that I can put my name on?

EA chargers are strange things. They generally have 2 plugs but never seem to be able to charge out of more than 1 at a time. Is that by design or are they more or less entirely busted?

Bloomberg is a bit of a rag these days, they seem to have a lot of axes that need grinding, and have had some high profile retractions recently. That said, any safety issues are critical. I'd love to see the rivian employees unionize on their own, and steer clear of the - imo - compromized UAW...

Is the second set of rims just a convenience for tire swapping? I've got the ATs and will likely keep them on through spring (weather's not super crazy during winter here in the PNW) but am thinking of getting some summer tires next year. Never really considered an entire set of rims to go with...

I like the turn signal, and find the chirp to be fine. Owl would be sweet, too. I wish the audio dampening/warnings were a little less aggressive when parking. I know there's a pole there, I'm going like .5mph. This is what parking looks like in a truck (I think). Let me listen to my dumb...

When picking up my truck in Bellevue, I asked about tonneau replacement timelines. All they'd say with any confidence was "sometime next year" for the retrofit.

I had an (optimistic, I think) H2 2023 delivery date for my R1S, which I'd pre-ordered in Nov or Dec of '21. I wanted to be sure to get the tax rebate, so swapped to an R1T a few months ago. Took delivery last Monday :) The truck is fantastic, and while the SUV version might be a little more...
