Nope, he jacked up his $1000 rims on a rock too so the sliders wouldn’t have saved him. He could have avoided his underbody damage by going slower and taking a more side hill line or even stopping to check his breakover before making contact just in case he beaches his brand new luxury vehicle...

They don’t just lower immediately anymore. Newer etron and Taycan stay high, Taycan will lower above 20 mph unless you floor it ? … the aftermarket needs volume to make money. With only 25k vehicles max to be produced this year and third party prices in the $130k+ range I doubt anyone in their...

Rivian needs to drive a Bronco apparently to sort out some of these UI quirks. The new Bronco asks you if you want to go back to whatever mode you were in previously. If you hit “yes” then it stays in it. Should be pretty simple when your competitive advantage is driven by rapid software...

Hell’s Gate “isn’t that difficult” to the right driver or someone with a decent spotter but it is still steep and technical and taking the wrong line will f up your vehicle instantly so I wouldn’t be so casual here in calling it easy … most passengers will prefer to walk it than ride along...

I’m not saying everything mentioned here is wrong but the R1T has been filmed on harder trails and obstacles such as Hell’s Gate in Moab so objectively you’re already wrong when you say it is limited to a 3 trail. I’m in Moab so I can say with confidence the Rivian will be fine on most 4-5...

Guess I forgot that this thing weighs 7400 lb … My 11k lb GVWR Winnebago RV takes 60-65 psi so I guess that sounds about right. You just don’t think of a Toyota Tacoma with 34” tires needing almost 50 psi.

$30k?? Show me one selling for $30k above MSRP and you’ll get a line of dealers out the door that will turn around and list it for $150k. A slower Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo 4S goes for $130k-$150k with a year wait so you can do the math here …

The Out of Spec and TFL guys routinely come across as really bad, clueless drivers. Out of Spec Kyle recently included a scene of himself hooking up the air compressor on the Rivian to deflate his tires, which probably didn’t need to be deflated anyway. Then when he got back on the highway he...

They only have a $1.18 B market cap yet 36% of their shares are still short so I’m guessing the chance they bring anything to market at scale is pretty close to zero.

Texas has a relatively low rate of EV adoption as you might expect of a state largely funded by fossil fuel revenues. The number of chargers won’t make that much of an impact as the drivers will not increase exponentially any time soon. Tesla doesn’t even have the legal ability to make...

No, Lordstown HAD a factory. They just knew that production wasn’t as simple as they anticipated. Canoo will never reach production IMO. Tesla was the case study for how to scale. You cannot start a business like this targeting the middle market. It’s a guaranteed failure.

They already tried to get acquired. They have nothing worth acquiring. They are among the many EV startups that have impending bankruptcty written all over them. In a rising rate, inflationary environment the carnage will be severe for many companies like Canoo.

?‍♂️You seemed to have learned nothing from the Rivian pricing disaster. Aptera has a better chance of getting to scale than Canoo. Canoo will get annihilated once the VW ID van arrives. I should have shorted all my EV stocks when I had the chance. At least with Canoo I made some profit and...

What you should be concerned about is whether a dinky little EV company like Canoo can somehow manufacture at scale to the point where they can get their price below $80k while losing $50k per vehicle produced… when ahem, a far better funded competitor can’t seem to do the same

Most mainstream vehicles equipped with Sirius XM have a satellite based assistance system. Jeep, Ford, Audi, Porsche, etc. usually have it.

Well in their in case it would be “increased” cash flow… negative cash flow. Can’t imagine they see positive cash flow in the next 3 years.

Dubious analogy here with renters and qualifying for a mortgage. Seems like a strange dig to throw into your commentary on a car. Just like renters can find landlords with low underwriting standards you can also find lenders (non-QM and owner financing) where the underwriting standards will be...

The math doesn’t work for what you expect. If it’s 70 kwh and optimistically getting 1.5 miles/kwh then you’re at 105 miles best case scenario. If you want 275 miles then you need a 183 kwh pack or realistically 193 kwh with a 5% buffer. So just imagine what the market looks like for a $120k...

If you’re having frequent problems with lights it suggests to me that you have some voltage irregularities that are causing the bulb to burn out. Either that or they’ve used the wrong spec bulbs around the car. Most of the time ICE dealers are clueless but you’d think Tesla, being an “electric”...

yeah, 8 kwh in 2 days doing nothing is a lot. I’ve left my etron sitting for 3 months and the battery doesn’t move at all because it goes into some kind of “disconnected” state. My Fiat 500e with only a 24 kwh battery went over 3 months without being driven and discharged 30-40%, so about 8 kwh...
