True. The best thing that happened to Jaguar/Land Rover/Aston Martin was when Ford owned all of these brands. These makers got access to Ford supplier chain and clout of Ford. Additionally, Ford sent in lots of engineers to these brands to improve reliability and quality. It's been a decade...

This is lots of rationalizing... JOLT, employment monthly and weekly unemployment numbers are all within the nominal range of the past year. While it's true that the tone and the confidence has suffered, there is no hard data yet to substantiate the claim, other than the reaction to the the...

Its this ^^^

@DayTripping - Thanks for a fair and unbiased post. Its refreshing to read a normal vehicle impressions than just bashing anything CT. Personally, I have no use for any truck and if I did, I probably would end up in some hybrid or ICE due to multipurpose range need (the primary reason I would...

Agree to a point. I don't know how much fuel you can pump into a tank in 90 seconds though. Flow rate is governed by regulators. That said, my question was and still is what consumer ICE vehicle gets 600 miles towing? What's the range without towing, if so. The point was false expectations...

Really dumb question. Is there ICE lightweight vehicle (not semi) that can tow for 600 miles? If so what is the range without towing? 1,000 miles?? It seems that the expectation is unrealistic to me but I maybe very ignorant about the range of ICE vehicle towing. My experience towing with...

During the last earning 4Q2024, it was mentioned that Amazon took EDV deliveries, which was unusual since they have not in the past during the Q4. Since they are accepting 10k vehicles/yr, it was essentially demand pull forward and probably did not accept many, if any EDV this quarter; hence...

"A wheel and a tire together can affect roughly 10 percent of the overall aero count of a vehicle," Interesting read (3~5 min). https://www.motor1.com/features/755041/wheels-more-complex-heres-why/

Many tire stores have policies that's outdated. Costco has the same policy. The reason for putting the new tires in the rear stems from when all vehicles were RWD. The rear wheels propelled the vehicle forward and needs more traction to accelerate and avoid wheel spin; hence put the new tires...

Since Rivian does not break out indirect and direct costs for R1 vehicles for their 10Q/K, perhaps you know some inside information to substantiate the cost structure. I can only go by what is reported and to say " The way you're using the loss per vehicle metric is incorrect." implies you are...

You mean not including cost of goods sold and factory utilization, as standards set by FAS and GAAP... The only reason they turn positive gross profit is due to environmental credit. without it, it would have shown continued loss. But, sounds like you are accounting expert so have it your way.

Rivian's one of the most costly components come from South Korea (Samsung SDI). While the battery is assembled in Normal, cells are imported and will be 25% tariff starting May. R1 is produced at a loss per vehicle still, so by absorbing the cost and not raise the R1 price, they are increasing...

I think you need to man-up. This rebranding is just a cover, right? I think you really want the logo so that you can wear a huge glittering thick gold chain with Rivian logo hanging big...

I know, right? Just can't wait to spend $130k out the door to resolve these issues....

There is Tesla Superchargers in Page but its only 150kWh, which means its a V2. Rivian cannot use it. The only DCFC I've found is ChargePoint in Knab UT and is only 50kWh or Grand Canyon Village (South Rim) EA. We took our R1S to Antelope Canyon and we did not stay in Page. We started in...

Depends on just how much "off road capabilities" you are seeking. Noticed that you already have a Bronco. Do you really need two off road capable vehicles? If 3 row SUV is higher in priority than having a second off roader, then there are alternative EVs that behaves better on the road...

Easy there.... If you only are worried about vibration and potential scratches (which has never happen on any of my vehicles) there is a simple clean solution like this: https://www.amazon.com/Rubber-Channel-Protector-Length-Inches/dp/B0B37KPT6X?th=1 Does not add footprint and comes in...

None of my vehicles have a frame. None of them have scratches on the paint. I find the frame most often ugly.

Believe one of the reasons why it was spun out. It wasn't getting enough attention and was a distraction. By spinning out, there will be a set of people focused just on ALSO. Their website shows they are located in Palo Alto so its a software centric micro mobility business that they are...

Have you actually gotten that? I realize that maybe what's showing on the indicator.
