Iām counting myself lucky. I got the update on Friday night and nothing serious. I was actually coming here to complement Rivian on Apple Music. It has operated PERFECTLY all weekend. Now Iām worried theyāll screw it up..
I guess this is the end result of Vibe Coding with an AI.
As some know, this is my third Rivian. Despite a few technical hiccups in my current R1S, it has still been a lot of fun to drive. However, a while back, my wife has pointed out something a little concerning. Every time I get into any Rivian, i develop a small cough. I realized I start...
Hey folks,
I'm finishing up my tax returns for the year and can't find documentation if Rivian took credit for my $7500 Federal EV Tax Credit or if I can still claim it. I leased a new R1S last year and I've gone over my documents but I can't find anything showing I signed the $7500 over to...
Apple music still sucks on the Rivian. Iāve had so many issues Iāve given up on it and have gone back to using my phone as the music source. If Rivian canāt get this simple music client working, they should let Apple do the heavy lifting and give us Carplay. I canāt believe Iām paying extra for...
Iām going to try to be at CC this weekend but Iām probably not going to park in the EV lane. No hate on the group but EVs are kind of a dime a dozen. I want to see some customization at CC. With a few exceptions, we really donāt get that in the EV row. BUT, I will concede that there is still...
I traded my Gen 1 R1T LE for a Gen2 R1S. I very much regret it.
Keep your truck. Itās a damn good one. Youāre missing out on some of the newer features but I think the Gen 1 vehicles are simply better built.
With this administration in full panic mode, yea I could see that.
Just think of how screwed weād be if that Keystone pipeline had been completed. The whole point of that was to bring Canadian oil down to Cushing, OK so they could put it on the world market. If that had been completed, it...
It doesn't matter how much the US imports. The disruption is impacting pricing period. If China, India, Japan, etc. have to pay more, the USA will be paying more as well. That's why prices of WEST TEXAS intermediate is selling for $99.31 at the time I'm writing this.
As much petroleum infrastructure is being destroyed, it's going to be a long time before prices normalize. At this point, I think Rivian should try to push as much production capacity into building the R2 as they possibly can. Shrink R1 production to a trickle if they need to. I hate this war...
Yea, this pricing is a home run for Rivian. The R2 Premium is the sweet spot IMO. The Launch edition isnāt too pricey either. NGL, Iām tempted to trade my R1S for a Launch Edition. Maybe my wife will be interested in trading here Mini Countryman JCW for one.
Oil nearly hit $120 last night before settling back. Wholesale Gas (RBOB) is at $3.00. It has been as high as $3.22. Wholesale is generally $1.00 less than retail prices. Keep in mind that is BEFORE taxes are added.
Oil hit $92 a barrel today and RBOB wholesale gasoline has climbed as high as $2.76. Retails prices are usually about $1.00 over the wholesale price, though it can be higher or lower. So we're getting closer to $4.00 gas.
