There's always a path to winning. You usually just have to evaluate the really push on the cost/benefit side of lowering spending or massively raising income. And the path that appears usually isn't the one you expect.
I'm saying this as someone who has won the game by your definition, albeit...
Wealth, money, status, and being "rich" are an intensely personal thing that everyone sees through their own lens. It changes over time too.
When I was 8, I though the kid with the bigger GI Joe set was rich.
When I was a teen, I thought the kid with Oakley sunglasses was rich and spent his...
Rivian's aren't designed to be worked on by end consumers. The vehicle is great, but the design philosophy is not. Rivian's response to "right to repair" is "lol".
Documentation isn't available and parts aren't available. Even something like a simple latch replacement or 12v battery...
The third (and most common) approach is to leave it generally vague and let the courts figure it out through litigation. Or maybe that's the "common sense" approach.
Policy changes will impact the pace of adoption, and will create a ceiling on adoption.
These policy changes won't kill the market. It will kill individual automakers EV plans, but not the whole market.
Ford's new low-price EV platform is still coming to the US. GM has close to enough...
Summit county is wild right now. I went for a hike with the hills and mountains bare of snow except for the highest peaks and some shaded northern slopes. I took a break and read a book over lake Dillon. It looked like a beautiful 55 degree sailing day.
My pictures from a similar weekend...
I'm in agreement with you.
This autonomy stuff is maybe interesting to ~3% of overall car-buyers and 10-20% of Telsa/Rivian EV enthusiasts. The market for this just isn't that deep, particularly if it's a subscription cost. It's not going to sell a lot of vehicles, and it's not going to sell...
Snow tires.
I do need them for snow, but apparently that weather phenomenon was a pre-Anthropocene thing in Colorado.
Seriously, where is the snow this year?
As someone who owns both, I agree.
Tesla has succumbed to feature creep and option bloat. It's become harder to navigate and find things. I feel the same way about iOS.
However, Tesla is much less glitchy and bug prone. I can't remember the last time I needed to reset the software on my...
Up 25%-50% if the R2 launch is relatively drama free and it launches to good reviews, strong demand, and within expectations on price/performance, etc.
The stock goes massively down if the launch goes poorly.
This is by far the coolest thing I've ever seen done in a Rivian.
We need more of this in the world, and as @kallisti5 mentioned, right to repair is critical for projects like this to happen.
Edit to add:
I think the way to the record is a Lucid Gravity.
It has significantly better...
A charger is a charger. I have a Grizzl-e one. It works fine.
Think of it as the plug for any other device, just attached to the wall instead of the device.
Honestly, avoid all of the chargers with "smart" features. All of those features are available through the Rivian app, and having...
I've noticed sporadic days with high energy use recently, but nothing I can pin down specifically.
One hypothesis is that it's related to turning on the HVAC remotely (unscheduled). I believe the truck kept the hvac on long after I finished my short trip.
I've noticed it less as I'm being...
I didn't vote for the simple reason that I'm not in the market for a car in the next year.
If I were, the whole Lidar autonomy thing wouldn't factor into my decisions. I'm happy if I have quality adaptive cruise control. I'll use anything else provided, but I don't care enough about all this...
I haven't done the east coast, but my general tips:
Have your partner help with Nav & charging plans, and talk about it beforehand. Traveling with toddlers means most of your stops will be centered around the kiddo's needs instead of whatever well-laid out charging plans you've developed...
I'm in no way an expert in this topic, but I've met a few people that are. The rules for nexus get complex and aren't always intuitive for companies like you describe. This is what tax lawyers get paid for, and there are methods for apportioning revenue between states (which is different from...
