No, actually, I would be the least fun person at a party of sixth graders. Oh, I see, you want me to debase myself and prance around like some deranged moron for your entertainment. I don't think so. Homey don't play dat. 🤡

Sometimes, I must admit, reading threads like this one in this forum feels a bit like listening to sixth graders dreaming about future fame and fortune, or debating which superhero is stronger. I read posts speculating (wishing) for longest range, highest horse power, fastest recharge times...

A glass roof over a black interior is insanity unless you live north of 50° latitude, and even then...

I also hate to speculate, but if gas prices continue to spike, because of, you know, that likely bodes well for Rivian et. al., because history.

The bottom line here is that RJ made headlines promising a 45K R2. When the R2 debuts, it will again make headlines with lots of press coverage, articles, instagram influencers, tweets, a full press, intense scrutiny in the culture. It will never again be in such an intense spotlight, because...

I mean, I have seen uglier wraps.

Forecasting the future is harder than forecasting the weather, and you see how well that is done. But, given all that, I agree that most current vehicle owners would not be keen on sending out their vehicles for hire, unless those vehicles are on their last legs and they have already purchased...

I may be wrong, but I have a hard time seeing this model go anywhere. If you bought a new vehicle, are you going to want to send it away to who knows who? What happens to the Insurance rates? Who's going to clean up after it drives some drunk home? What happens inside these robotaxis when...

Yup. And if you recall, that was in the late '70s and 1980s when the Big Three were churning out rusty planned obsolescence hunks of cars as fast as they could and getting trounced by Japanese cars from Honda, Toyota, et.al. They knew they were in trouble because they wanted to maintain their...

I don't disagree fundamentally about the importance of quality, and would argue that in many ways Rivian is improving on it's average quality in builds, software, and marketing -- despite some reliability issues on first generation vehicles. Achieving quality is harder as you start adding...

Years ago, I had to have some unexpected service done on my Nissan at some garage way out somewhere in a small town in the middle of Texas. The place looked like it had been in business since the 1930s, but had never been acquainted with a mop. There were a few old bar stools with the chrome...

A quick check via the internet, so salt grains taken, shows Tesla has over 2,400 unsold Cybertrucks in its U.S. inventory, which is valued at approximately $200 million. ... Yahoo Dailymotion Cybertruck Inventory Overview Current Inventory Status Tesla has faced significant challenges with...

Yes, the memories. Mine was a Lizard Green Dragster, as I recall. So many, many years ago. He'll remember this for ages!

Thanks so much for such a great write up on your wonderful trip. This is what I want to do towing my camper some day when I have fewer obligations.

If you wanna go 1990s graffiti, Banksy or Keith Haring would be my choice. Or we could go really retro to Piet Mondrian.

"you get a new cyber truck and you get a new cyber truck and you get a new cyber truck!" Wonder how giving away a new CT on "The Price Is Right " would go over.

If I understand you correctly, you are commenting about customer relationships and how Rivian may be falling short of the gold standard in this regard. You make a comparison with chick-fil-A and note that some companies are better than others at this. Disney actually has made an entire B2B...

A quintessentially British review. My AI like summary would read like this (Imagine typical British accent and delivery cadence): Here's a clever American Truck, too large for us Brits, but the R2 and R3 are perfectly sized for European roads, but will Rivian survive long enough to export...

Has Rivian put out specific information on the location of these new SCs? On their website, the map shows about 16-18 new SC locations, far from the 50+ they say they plan to open this year. Of those shown on the map, many are planed for west coast and large population centers where there are...

Sounds good, please let us know how the two compare, and spare no feelings; it's always good to hear these reports from folks who have hands-on experience with both.
