I've never been an off-roader, nor have I gone off-roading, so take this with a grain of salt.
My understanding is that the bead locks allow better airing down of the tire becasue they provide grip on the tire bead? Seems like its useful for the community to have that option for people who...
This exactly. Additionally the fact that they have so few options available (both in terms of models and quantity), and the options they have offered (and Subaru) are of such poor quality doesn't help make the case.
If Toyota was pumping out BEVs at the rate that they do Tundras or Prius (not...
yay! Cant wait to start seeing these installed on peoples R1Ts and R1Ss! I think I'm probably towards the back of the line as far as orders, but I'm excited for people to get them!

At this point essentially all inventory of the named vehicles sells as soon as it hits the lot, often over MSRP. Hard to draw conclusions right now. I think a better observation is that hunger for EVs is extremely high, and even poorly designed and executed EVs, like say the Nissan Ariya, are...
I think it looks good but I'm burned out on the "mean" look that a lot of these vehicles have. What I love about the R1's and Jeeps, for example, is they have a happy, friendly look to them. They don't have the massive oversized build with squinty headlights that look angry. I feel like the new...
I'm personally somewhat ambivalent about CP/AA, but I do think it should be offered for people who do want to use it. I don't know how Rivian overcomes the Gaia/OnX gap without it. These are offroading trucks and those are useful tools.
Anyway, this thread had me thinking a bit about the 2018...
