My better half also informed me that she prefers longer, thicker, cables so she really isn't interested in what Tesla is offering either.
Don't shoot the messenger.
Hey - don't besmirch turds by comparing them to the CyberYuck™ - turds might smell bad but they are actually good for nature and they saved Matt Damon's life on Mars!
The current administration is working overtime to execute funds that have been alloted as part of the infrastructure and inflation reduction bills.
Once the contracts and the money are out the door, EM and the rest of that clown show can kick rocks.
Don't forget sky high insurance costs. I literally went EV shopping for our last EV by getting insurance quotes before even stepping foot on a lot for a test drive!
The challenge for new EV only OEMs is that they need a mountain of cash to get established where ICE OEMs have nearly 100 year...
I really enjoy Coleton and that is the only Out of Spec channel I support. Tom from State of Charge is one of my favorite reviewers. Alex from Alex on Autos is also a great channel. He was also miffed at Kyle cutting the line (especially since he had/has 4 times as many subscribers) and he...
That is a screenshot so it doesn't actually link anything. I'm not here to rehash the past, and everyone is free to support anyone's channel they deem fit.
The link to the actual video (and the segement the screenhot comes from) is here if anyone is interested.
It came about when Kyle got his hands on a Launch Edition R1T with pre-march pricing without actually having a reservation (and him getting that R1T well after the cut-off for reduced pricing) and with nearly everyone on this forum at the time still waiting in line for their R1Ts that they had...
All Cut-the-Line-Kyle had to do was simply disclose that he got preferential access, pricing, and timing and let the viewer decide what they would do with that information. He lied saying he got none of that which was an insult to everyone's intelligence.
YouTubers who are influencers do get...
Yes, Cut-the-Line Kyle is nothing but open and honest! He lost me when he received Gen 1 R1T before most on this forum without actually having an existing reservation well after post-March pricing, but getting pre-March pricing and proclaiming it was all on the up and up while refusing to...
That is quite frankly insane. I didn't mention this in my original reply but I'm glad neither you, the other driver, or any passengers were seriously injured. In the end, that is the most important thing. The rest will get sorted.
My Dear Watson, your summary is quite onpoint but you are missing a critical component to this story: The F150 driver never actually slowed down or stopped when trying to cross traffic. The video was frozen by whomever filmed it to make it look like they had stopped, but if the video plays...
There is no reason for you to make up a speed limit, but I literally see homes in the background and you are driving down a fairly narrow street with single lanes of opposing traffic. I've never seen a speed limit of 55 on a road that narrow with some residential presence.
I'd like to know...
How did the driver of the F-150 have this video? Was this from a neighbors camera?
He is clearly manipulating the video by starting and stopping it (you can hear beeps when he pause) and I'm not sure what he thinks he's accomplishing.
Not only does he pull out in front of you, but he pulls...
Pay the man!
Also, why isn't Rivian doing what they said they would do and let people "subscribe" to an R1 vehicle? This can be a month to month or longer subscription with a fleet insurance policy included like other OEMs have done (Hyundai, Volvo, etc.).
You can also offer people the...
The US is the strongest economy in the world by a mile and inflation here is a fraction of what it is globally. Inflation is a global problem.
The EV tax credit was designed to incentivize consumer adoption of EVs while giving OEMs the space to get costs down by building EVs at volume. Taking...
