It is. We have a Model 3 RWD, a Model 3 Performance and a Cybertruck. The Cybertruck has most of the qualities of the Model 3, including the user interface, but it's bigger, smoother, quieter and tougher (far more damage resistant). And has a ton of cool features and modes not found on the Model...

That's a dual motor and it's closer to 6600 lbs. I've drifted mine and it's a blast drifting such a big, maneuverable truck. It kicks up a real shower of stones, sand and dust! ? And no worries about damaging the clearcoat! But, no, I wouldn't do it around a crowd of people. That's just...

Why do you think there is a staining issue? I've had plenty of mud, bug guts, tar, etc. on my Cybertruck and it comes off even easier than the same mud, bug guts, tar, etc. on my painted cars. Because I don't have to worry about scratching or damaging the ultra-hard steel. It's called...

I don't think you have any experience with a Cybertruck because bug guts are not a problem. I just wash the bugs off my Cybertruck periodically with a bucket of soapy water and a long-handled truck brush. They come right off after a bit of soaking with the soapy water, just like on my painted...

I think you are missing the picture. It's just a truck. A machine to get a job done, to transport people in comfort over roads, trails and landscapes, the looks are really not important. Not everyone associates their personal identity with what their truck looks like. I have a number of cars I...

All it takes for the EV market to grow massively larger is to offer consumers more value for their hard-earned dollars. This is done by making better, more durable vehicles and offering them at lower prices. A car is the second largest purchase (after a house) for most new car buyers, and...

Cybertruck has a two-and-a-half-inch wider track width vs. the R1T. Pretty substantial.

Yes, but the most vocal ones will never admit it. It's really sad. Some of them are beginning investors who actually believe it will make the stock price go back up if they act like Rivian is perfect and Tesla is the devil reincarnate. They just don't understand how the world actually works...

You don't think Rivian has had a recall yet? :CWL: Tesla rival Rivian starts '24 on rough note: recall, drop in deliveries - TheStreet Recall Alert: Rivian R1S, R1T - Kelley Blue Book (kbb.com) Rivian Is Facing a Recall of Almost Every Vehicle It Has Sold. The Company's Response Is a...

I see we have some factual misinformation here. Cybertruck's stainless steel panels don't corrode. Tesla boosted the chromium content of the alloy to have higher corrosion resistance than 316 marine grade stainless steel. It's also a lot harder to damage by impact too. You can drive a fully...

I licked my finger and held it in the prevailing breeze. :CWL:

This is sad commentary on Rivian owners...

That doesn't sound right, it's mostly superficial damage.

That's going to make for some very happy new owners! And spare me the anti-Cybertruck rhetoric, they have fewer problems than the R1T. There are a few vocal Cybertruck haters here, in real life people are crazy about it. My favorite comment from two days ago was from a 30-something year old...

There are large financial interests that want Rivian to fail, and Rivian will need more funding to bring their next new models into high volume production. So Rivian is likely to experience a lot of negative FUD to try to make it difficult to raise money. It could get pretty turbulent from a...

I am an investor.

Yes, that's surprising. Do any Rivian experts/fan boys know what aluminum alloy the door skins are made of? I know it's recycled aluminum, I wonder if the raw materials had a chunk of iron in it (could have been introduced when the sheet aluminum was being rolled to thickness). Alternatively...

It's likely that Tesla will sell more vehicles in 2024 than they did in 2023. It's never good to look at sales on too granular of a basis. One quarter does not a year make.

To be clear, Tesla never "promised" FSD would be complete in any given timeframe. Elon has made many off-the-cuff estimates, but none of them could even be loosely construed as a promise. And the legalese that every purchaser of FSD had to acknowledge before purchasing FSD made it abundantly...

Cool! What's this color combination that you like even though RJ has derided it? I'm afraid I don't follow Rivian as much as the Rivian fanboys, so I miss a lot of the little day-to-day RJ gossip.
