  1. Teslarati - Tesla takes first step in sunsetting Model S and X with drastic move

    I don't. It is those bleeding hearts that do so by selling their Teslas, ditching them just because of the CEO actions, etc. Apparently, some folks just don't get it. The public expression of opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or social conscience or the...
  2. Teslarati - Tesla takes first step in sunsetting Model S and X with drastic move

    Have at it. First Amendment gives you that right. Never said they are wrong. For me, getting rid of my Teslas because of the CEO would be a monumentally stupid and disingenuous thing to do.
  3. Teslarati - Tesla takes first step in sunsetting Model S and X with drastic move

    I bought into the Tesla cars, the tech, never the person. That would have been an uttterly stupid thing to do, the latter. No change today when I get my next Tesla, either. USAID, famine in the world, terrorism, disease, made worse or better, blah-blah, etc. are not my problems to solve. None...
  4. Teslarati - Tesla takes first step in sunsetting Model S and X with drastic move

    I don't give a flying f about whatever Musk does or thinks. Never have, never will. My glorious Teslas stay with me. Hope I spelled that out more clearly for you. Look up "virtue signaling" on the Google machine of your choice. Read the concept a few times, then kindly think about it a few...
  5. Teslarati - Tesla takes first step in sunsetting Model S and X with drastic move

    Mommy, mommy. Help me, I am crying my heart out. Bought my Tesla now have to sell it because CEO is a terrible person, mean to society, cannot afford to be seen in a Tesla anymore, have to sell it because of it, blah-blah. Anybody who buys anything and identifies himself or herself with it...
  6. Teslarati - Tesla takes first step in sunsetting Model S and X with drastic move

    Try reading again, please. Quite the opposite of it. Those are the ones today with their feigned self-righteousness getting their bleeding hearts in a tizzy because of the CEO actions lately. I myself could not give a shit about that if I tried.
  7. Teslarati - Tesla takes first step in sunsetting Model S and X with drastic move

    When I bought my S Raven in early 2020, Tesla still was having QC issues. Indeed, when I inspected the vehicle on delivery day, I noticed it had a few paint defects and thus rejected it. Tesla assigned me a new VIN right away and delivered in a week the pristine S that I drive today. For my...
  8. Teslarati - Tesla takes first step in sunsetting Model S and X with drastic move

    5 years in, my glorious Model S Raven is one of the best cars I ever will own. A great "old tech" sedan for crying out loud that still beats the crap out of many EVs out there, let alone ICEs, even so-called sports cars. Tons of fun driving it, never so much as a rattle, let alone quality...
  9. Cadillac Escalade IQ 1000 E4

    It is a huge animal! If I owned one, I doubt I would take it off-roading, which I really do nothing of, anyway absent riding down a dirt road for a while. Cadillac means comfortable highway cruising on steroids. And I hope that the legendary Cadillac awful reliability (know it firsthand) does...
  10. Cadillac Escalade IQ 1000 E4

    Watched the OOS review also. Pretty, pretty nice! Did not quite get the issue with charging derating significantly if A/C on. Just hope dealerships don't jack up prices with bs add-ons. Will look awesome in my garage. Got just the spot for it.
  11. Cadillac Escalade IQ 1000 E4

    Let's get real. Unfair to Cadillac. Rivian ADAS as a yardstick is a pretty low bar. Buried, actually 🤣
  12. R1S G2 DPM Energy Issues

    I don't believe that there is anything wrong with your Rivian charger. No power cycling, rebooting, etc. needed. I believe that the issue might be the Rivian app itself. Once again, Rivian software experts, god love 'em. I keep very detailed logs on my EVs charging sessions; noticed this...
  13. R1S G2 DPM Energy Issues

    I sure as hell hope that a Rivian charger and/or your Rivian itself does not and will not allow you to set the charging rate above the maximum safety derating, e.g., 48 A (not 50 A) on a 60 A breaker; 40 A on a 50 A breaker, etc.
  14. PPF + QC Issues

    I know I am. No convincing needed ever. For PPF, no way I would let Rivian do PPF, which probably just slaps it on, done, out the door. And no ceramic coating. Might as well not even bother. My expert XPEL installer went over the entire vehicle, did paint correction ( on a brand-new vehicle!)...
  15. PPF + QC Issues

    Wait a month or two, eh? Why one or two months? Why not 5 months, 6.7432 months, 1 year, 1.32589 years? What if issue develops long after two months? Sounds as if one or two months is some sort of divine guideline. For many, PPF and ceramic coating always, always shall be done by expert...
  16. PPF + QC Issues

    Settled law: two wrongs never make a right.
  17. PPF + QC Issues

    Could not disagree more with you if I tried. Keep in mind that some issues pop up and develop long after delivery took place. For me, no way I would have waited, let alone driven my Rivian before installing PPF. Indeed, it sat in my garage, undriven, for 30 days after taking delivery to...
  18. PPF + QC Issues

    From my experience, both Tesla and Rivian have been outstanding, excellent in covering and addressing any and all issues found after delivery, not even the slightest hassle. Heck, Tesla even took care of an issue I found on my vehicle some 3.5 years after delivery. Fixed gratis, no questions...
  19. PPF + QC Issues

    Rivian should do the right thing and cover your PPF replacement. Stay on Rivian and do not let up. Escalate if you need to. Such is what I did. Like you, a professional installer wrapped my entire R1S with XPEL and ceramic coating. My R1S rear door had to be replaced under warranty. PPF had...
