The auto business is strongly cyclic, always has been. Profits fluctuate with the economy, model lineups, profit margins. And so do stock prices. TSLA is over well over 10X where it was just 5 years ago today. 5 years ago, it was trading around $14/share. Today it's trading at $170. The company...

Yeah, I think it's a fair article. But if you read it with a critical eye, it doesn't say much. All it really says is that Rivian has laid out the path forward, in terms of the model line-up and where they will be made. It doesn't offer an opinion on the chances of that being sustainable, of it...

One thing that video reminds me of is how silly it is to have critical driving data hiding down behind a small steering wheel with spokes. The information can only be seen if you adjust the steering wheel to one particular position, which may or may not be the best ergonomics for you. And then...

That's true, but it's not uncommon for the jobs a shop have lined up to grow in scope and delay the completion of recent arrivals. It's not easy to run a car shop, in part because you never know how long a job will actually take.

If you are on good terms with the co-registrant, you could just take delivery and have the other party sign it over to you.

Yeah, thanks for the good wishes. The reason I don't use a trailer for firewood cutting is there is competition on the public lands to get the best firewood logs. Yes, it all burns, but some of it is 2X as good as the rest. I find my best scores on side spurs with no turnarounds at the end. It...

That's a nice cop-out. I guess everything can be subjective. Like the steering lag in a truck you've never driven. That's what "subjective" means, isn't it? It's OK to not like the Cybertruck. It's not OK to pretend like its steering lag is a problem when it crushes the speed of a traditional...

I'm not saying anyone made a wrong decision with Rivian, or that the Cybertruck is the best fit for everyone, you have misunderstood me if you think that. What I am saying is that people are spreading a lot of misconceptions about the Cybertruck that are simply not true. The people most guilty...

Please take your meds, the reliability of EA is nowhere near that of Superchargers.

When Rivian makes the switch to NACS charge ports, you can all celebrate, get a Tesla Wall Connector, and enjoy full power charging with no over-heating issues at a measly 48 amps! The CCS connector is marginal and poorly designed for Level 2 charging. It wasn't even designed by a company that...

I'm tall, so I can minimally reach over the sides of my F-150 4x4 (which is taller than 4x2 versions). When I say "minimally" I mean it's not really practical in most cases to be reaching over the sides and someone of average height cannot realistically achieve anything by reaching over the bed...

I have zero problem with differing opinions on something that is completely subjective. When I mention that you are misinformed, it is always about something that is not subjective. You can't re-write the history of this discussion by claiming you were arguing subjective things (like whether...

I can reach over the bed sides of my F-150 too, the question is whether it accomplishes anything useful (reaching all the way down to the bed in a meaningful way). In the Cybertruck I can secure loads just reaching over to the L-track mounted 18" above the bed floor. And the bed height is lower...

No, I'm telling you Ford made the bed of my F-150 so frickin' tall, I can't reach over with two hands to tie to the bed anchors. The Cybertruck has the same issue in the forward part of the bed, but is better than the F-150 in the rearward part of the bed. And the Cybertruck has the load track...

I'm speechless. Believe what you want, without any evidence. BTW, how is this bed useless: ??? No, the bed is not sagging, it's set to "Entry" height, to make the loading of these rounds easier. It automatically lifted up as soon as I put it in drive. Also, I did some testing comparing my...

Sorry to hear that, let us know how it's finally resolved.

If a dealership will work on your car immediately, it's most likely because their terrible business practices have driven all their regular customers off to independent shops. The best shops in my area are often backed up a month or more.

Wow, it's amazing the Service Tech didn't even know this.

I'm curious how many miles of use you have to inform your opinions on the Cybertruck? It's fine if you don't like it, I just want to know if you're talking from a position of knowledge or not. Because sharing experiences is what forums like this are all about. That's how we learn. I'm...

Without better charging infrastructure for towing long distances, that's true. The problem is, people claim electric trucks can't tow, without specifying long-distance towing or even acknowledging that long-distance towing is only a tiny fraction of all towing needs, particularly towing for...
