And flame grilling is $.30/mile and microwaving is $.06/mile...and you have 12k bites (miles) each year. :)

I have a 981S (Boxster of the 991 era) - it's Lime Gold and my wife - and grandkids - love it. I also kept my modded GX470 for the dog and trails. And while I do enjoy the R1S during the week it's my wife's commuter - I get to take it over the mountains on the weekends. If I had to choose which...

I loved the 1980s Steyr-Daimler-Puch G-Wagons - not so much the tarted up imports. I used to run into a guy at the park fishing every morning who drove a G500. Cowl leaks let water accumulate on a shelf under the dash, accelerate and the water sloshed and shorted out the electronics. First time...

Ah great - I see their are sheets of that material on Amazon for $11 - I'll try that!

Just got mine in the mail - very impressed with the apparent heft and build quality. I am a bit concerned about it's slipperiness however. I see that another supplier just started taking orders on a plastic cover with a lanyard and I didn't see the point. Now that I've handled it I am thinking...

Agreed all around. I actually discussed this with a mobile technician this week and he pointed out that since our R1s don't have sunroofs, it's particularly noticeable (lots of air escapes around sunroof surrounds on BMWs where he worked for 20 years).

I agree - lifting in and out is the most practical way. Unfortunately the relatively narrow opening of the rear doors of the R1T made that too tricky for us - that's the main reason we pivoted to a R1S. And I kept my GX470 for the daily (muddy half the year) trips to the park in an effort to...

Maybe his "other car" is a Lucid?

I would take that deal - it almost makes we wish I had held out. We've hugely enjoyed our R1S for more than a year but it certainly had some teething issues. I don't need QM and could probably deal with the lower range for that kind of savings. But remembering back to all the anxiety about...

Just ordered - both the site and confirmation email state "Orders take around 15 to 20 business days to ship as we have an important volume of orders". So prolly at least a month now.

I noticed something today - and a Google search reveals it's never been mentioned. While driving across the Cascades in All Purpose mode I noticed that on the vehicle screen (which I was looking at to see altimeter and motor temps) the message "Reduce your speed to change drive mode" appears...

I think many of us saw the article fly by about a Chevy Bolt driver had his insurance double because GM OnStar shares acceleration and braking data. This article came across my view again and I noticed a link to a free https://vehicleprivacyreport.com/. Rivian is so clean they think the company...

And in today's news, Dollar Tree to close 1,000 stores in bid to shore up profits

I have personally had R1S loaners twice for multiple week periods. I could have had one for another shorter period of a couple of days but we have 2 other cars and didn't need to go anywhere.

You are fighting a rising tide there - but we might have reached the peak. I read an analysis this week of why our cars are so large - there are many factors but one of them is that congress exempted "light trucks" from the CAFE standards. Many (most?) SUVs are "light trucks". And that is...

The phone guys have no pull - you _might_ get your contact at your local SC to do something. They're also the ones who coordinate loaners. Cross your fingers

I don't know about _only_ because of Rivian and even 3 years later I think that "formidable opponent" is a bit of a stretch. Ford sells a lot of F150s - I suspect Musk was looking at the overall truck market and wanted a piece of it. Swing and a miss IMHO. They don't need another weirdo vehicle...

And don't forget the Launch Edition comes "Complete with special interior badging" -ironically that's one I CAN see from inside the vehicle (where I spend the majority of my time when driving, YMMV).

I don't use D+ (or adaptive cruise control) very much but I feel that - over time - it has gotten better. That said, coming over Snoqualmie Pass yesterday there was snow/slush and I got a brief warning for radar sensors that showed locations to be cleaned - then it disappeared. I _think_ there...

Forest Edge? <cough>
