There are many real use for humid robots. One of the major push is the Dark Factory, where they can run 24/7 fully automated and without humans. There are estimates now by industrial organizations that predict China will be the first 100% Dark Factory by 2030 building autos 27/7/365 without...

This whole discussion neglects the debt/liability side of the equation. Someone driving $100K+ vehicle financed fully does not make a rich person. The ability to make a monthly payment simply says their income is high enough to afford it. Says nothing about wealth or richness. This example...

Correct and they just raised the price by 2,000 Euros. https://www.motor1.com/news/785914/bmw-ix3-price-increase/ "BMW has quietly updated its German configurator to reflect a substantial price bump. The math now starts at €70,900, a €2,000 increase that arrives before customer deliveries even...

Curious - I find that the road noise and other sounds while driving is such that comparing the fine points of one audio system to another is a moot point. When the vehicle is stopped, clearly you can tell the difference but at speed, its hard to tell the difference, if they all sound decent...

Since I only use DCFC on road trips, I always sign up for the membership for the trip and cancel thereafter. Unfortunately Rivian does not offer discounted rate for membership and their Rivian price vs other is still higher than Tesla or EA. Our last road trip for roughly 1,900 miles earlier...

The thing about the humanoid robots to be able to replace a person to do certain tasks, it requires the agility and ambidextrous motion that the five fingers can do. Boston Dynamics makes and have been for years, making incredible robots. They are clearly ahead of just about everyone in terms...

Fender bender!!! Oh no. Totaled. If not, at least $40K to repair. :)

Discontinuing Model S and X makes sense. In their earnings call and their shareholder deck, it shows 53,900 vehicles total. This is sum of Cyber Truck, Tesla Semi, Model S and X. If one assumes roughly half for the trucks, then S and X are somewhere around 27,000 units. The factory...

I guess its one of those..."if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't"

I have always referred Toyota and Honda as appliances. It just works.

Here is an article from Reuters that shed more light on the situation. Analysis-Volkswagen CEO Blume, free of Porsche role, under pressure to deliver on turnaround REUTERS Jan-28-2026 1:01 a.m. ET By Rachel More BERLIN, Jan 28(Reuters) - Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume faces a defining test...

What???? Happened before to both front motors - wow. That really sucks. Since this occurrence is also one front motor again, whatever they did, didn't completely address the issue. Hope you get it resolved for good.

The characterization, I believe, is incorrect. Adding LiDAR and/or adding another motor (i.e., Tri-motor) does not change the generation of the vehicle architecture. Simply further additional options. Just look at gen 2 R1, as they introduced the new quad. Not a new generation. Neither are...

Question for those of you who have chromatic glass roof: Does the ability to opaque the roof reduce heat more than just the dark glass?

From my perspective, these electronic spider/convertible roofs requiring multiple electric motors to perform simply adds more maintenance. and break points. Good with old fashion Targa top or ragtop that require manual action though...

Yikes!!! Very sorry to see/read. Hope similarity doesn't mean that this fate is headed my way. We have yellow tow hook covers, running boards and is 2023 Glacier White R1S... How many miles? Our's is just over 35K miles

Agree. I wished the R1S had a sliding 2nd row doors. I know its a minivan thing but if it retained the current form with sliders, that would be fantastic. I read that minivans are making a comeback and has outsold coupe style CUVs last year.

How do you insulate the windshield?

If you look at the VWG performance this past year, only Lambo and Bentley actually made profit and carried the whole group. Porsche and Audi both suffered the greatest drop in sales and margins. with others (e.g., VW) treaded waterline just floating. Oliver Blume is no longer Porsche CEO...

I've always said EVs are laptops with wheels. Technology keeps moving ahead. Most vehicles are on 4 year refresh cycle, EVs and ICE. Gen 1 is not obsolete or neglected. No need to compromise newer technologies in gen 2 vehicle by only providing what gen 1 HW can do. Gen 1 R1 vehicles have...
