The only way to stop these crazy comp packages is to address stock awards in the tax code. Could make the award and ultimate capital gain taxed as ordinary compensation (because it is) instead of capital gains. The tax handling of stock awards & options is ridiculous. Although admittedly I've...
This is what I think too. RJ seems like a decent guy, but don't get fooled. All these people (Musk, Barra, Farley, etc) are ego maniacs. I didn't buy stock at the IPO because the power was completely controlled by him. The only one who could fire him was ..........him.
Something about these vehicles & alignment. I blame the suspensions, but obviously don't really know. When you go to a 3d party be sure you ask ahead if time if they have done a Rivian before. If not it will be even worse. On my previous T they blamed a tire sidewall being out of spec for it...
This is my experience & opinion also. Don't underestimate the better efficiency (range) with a new dual compared to a gen 1 quad. Don't let anybody tell you efficiency is the same in conserve; they're not. Overall fit & finish (less wind noise, few rattles, fewer trips to a service center) is...
I've had all of these issues too. The software for daily/normal use has WAY too many bugs. My Roomy entry only works if I wake truck up BEFORE I open the door. I would feel differently if these features were cutting edge. They aren't.
Just my opinion, but the stock is only at $14 because of R2. Unless they hit an R2 home run I don't see it going above $20. They don't have the infrastructure in place (service centers) to support huge R2 sales either. Plus they still have software issues that shouldn't happen. On my 4th R1T and...
I think you have a pretty weak case too. Build dates don't mean much in the auto industry. The squeaky door handles is a known problem and likely will be a future recall (mine does it), but it doesn't prevent me from opening the door. Not defending poor alignment, but I've had that one too...
If it makes you feel any better I had the same issue. You have "lock and unlock" highlighted. Change it to off. I think the last update changed the presentation & makes it more difficult to see the "behavior at home" button. When you make the change your vehicle will stay unlocked when you are...
I'm not surprised. I live 45 minutes from the plant and know several who work there. I won't repeat what I have heard regarding weekly R1 purchases since subsidy ended, but suffice to say it isn't good. I am a little surprised by that because I thought well over half of sales wouldn't qualify...
I ended up leasing mine despite the mileage limitation. At a minimum my truck will have 80,000 miles on it in three years. I was assured I would just owe the 30 cnts/mile over 45,000. Depreciation on these vehicles runs 40 cents (or more) so it is a bargain. That being said I'm likely to buy...
I had this configuration on my last truck only with the 20 inch road tires (no off road package either) . They are much smoother than the 22s I have now (still a tri). I couldn't figure out why this truck wasn't as smooth riding as the other one until I just read your comment. More than just...
I'm on my 4th R1T. First two came with AT tires. Efficiency was so bad on the first one I immediately traded the tires out when I bought the second truck (was a demo so no other options). Unless you seriously off road frequently don't get that AT package. It adds weight and the tires are REALLY...
I'm now on my 4th R1T. I also have occasionally gotten frustrated with the software, but what I find interesting is the vehicles all had different bugs. My new one doesn't have any, yet. Even the PAK works......every time.....without getting the phone out of my pocket. On my first Tri Max it...
I'm ashamed to admit I just bought my 4th R1T. I will say they keep getting better in regards to QC. I've had VINs 7000, 15000, 30000 and now 42000. First truck had 17 (35 issues) SC trips in 20 months over 61,500 miles. Not going to bore you with the gradual improvement stats, but if I still...
Obviously up to you, but I have been driving my AS Pirellis on dirt roads without a problem. I'm very much a Pirelli hater, but these have been a pleasant surprise. Exact same efficiency as the "range" 22s that were on my previous truck. I can't speak to rock climbing, etc, but dirt, mud...
My first R1T (2022) wore terrible. I was a little embarrassed when I traded it for a 2022 demo with a VIN number 8,000 higher. Had 63,000 miles when I traded. Kept the demo 28,000 miles before getting this tri (25,000 miles now). Neither of the last two vehicles show any wear. I remember...
I've seen these studies before and inevitably they don't charge carbon for the oil/gas exploration, refining, transportation, etc. Like gas travels as easy as electricity does. All the gas station equipment & employee travel, pipelines produces no carbon 🤷♂️. All studies I have seen more fully...
