Current price is $150!! Deal....Thanks for the feedback...makes me feel a little more confident.

Ok - read through many posts here to try and educate myself and i have to say im baffled. I have an e39 M5 (4100 lb curb weight) located in Bakersfield that i need to tow to Escondido (San Diego area). It blew out two tires and wrecked two rims when exiting I5 at Tejon Ranch and hit a pot hole...

Allow me to preface my questions by saying that on pick up the AC broke before i even left the lot. Apparently a hose was damaged and leaked, causing the whole system to fail. Now the issue is that the vents on the passenger side just seem to blow external air instead of cold air. We have tried...

True. But you will be buying a car with HW3 that Musk has already said won’t actually be capable of self driving (even tho he said it would be) and will have to be upgraded. But upgrading it is close to impossible. You will also be buying a vehicle whose sister (Model 3) the Germany TUV system...

I had a similar issue. Ac worked for a few minutes during my inspection. Accepted car. Was about to leave and thebAC stopped working. Busted high pressure hose. Was fixed in a week. Yesterday the right front vents stopped blowing cold. So that will be added to the growing list of issues for my...

Let’s also remember that GM and VW have lost over $30 billion in one year. In the automotive industry when things go south they go south fast. $88 billion might sound like a lot but GM lost $70 billion in 2 years in 2007/2008.

That comment on european countries applying higher tariffs on us than we do on them, while literally correct when looking at averages, the differences are on the order of a few % points, and are radically different across different goods. Much of that difference comes from very high tariffs on...

The key thing in economics that most people don’t understand, and nobody has mentioned on this thread is something called comparative advantage. It applies to companies and countries equally. The idea, or in fact, the actuality, is that one country can produce a certain good more cheaply than...

Thats some good math....So if battery is $1700 and all other components add another $1000 (spit ball number) then we might see prices go up $3k. However, if the price of most competing vehicles also goes up, and goes up more, then we can assume that Rivian, who is desperate for profit, will use...

This is what i bought - i will report back once i get it installed. At least its cheap...https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YZFM2FQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 And not worried - seen it happen. As of a few months ago i owned 9 cars, mostly old BMWs with lots of miles on them to show just...

Riviot seems to be a keyboard warrior with anger issues. Simple questions require simple answers, not animosity. I’m talking about the rear plate - and yes that’s paint. And yes the plate is going to vibrate while on there. I guess I will go find a plate on Amazon. Who knew a license plate...

I wondered about that - but thought the metal plate might scratch the paint over time. And FYI if you pay $100k for anything you shouldn't be buying anything essential after picking up your purchase. And its just a missed opportunity for Rivian - id have put a plater holder on all the cars with...

After encouraging ChatGPT to do a deep dive on rivian and the parts it makes and where those might be sourced, and then comparing all those to the USMCA rules, its belief is that the only major component in a Rivian that is going to not pass muster is the battery cells - and maybe some...

I got my plates today in the mail. Went to install them and the paper plate is just held on with 4 screws and there is no license plate holder. Do the 2nd Gen R1S come with license plate holders and they're just stuck somewhere in the car and i need to go find them? Or is Rivian really cheap-ing...

For sure. We won’t really know until next month state releases. The model Y Juniper released in Europe at the beginning of this month in terms of being able to actually order it. Europe just released their registration data for February and it dropped 47% you’re over your Versus a 50% drop in...

Pretty sure the wifi turning off during sleep is an intended occurrence to preserve battery power. You can keep the car in camp mode or have it keep climate control on but that will of course use battery. Otherwise, yet another request to Rivian to add this as a feature. Best bet is to buy a...

Just got my R1S a week ago or so and its parked outside my house in San Jose, so relatively mild. Gear guard is on and climate control is on. Seems to be eating about 1% a day though hard to tell over so few days. My Teslas eat about the same with Sentry mode on, and a lot more in summer if...

I dont think Musk started out as a bad person. I mean he was no saint and he had issues as far back as PayPal, but i think his heart was in the right place. But over time you can see that his decision making and attitude to employees has slowly but surely gone over a cliff. This happens when...

The main issue with people dumping their teslas on mass is that it drives down resale value. And that in turn disincentivizes new buyers who dont want to buy a car that is going to depreciate massively in the next few years - even more than average EVs. Low resale value also forces the seller of...

There is a Model S, and an e39 M5, and an e38 740iL (V8), and 4 drivers under 21! And two of them (e39 M5 and a 2001 528i) are in San Diego, near SDSU, where insurance rates are a lot higher than even the bay area. The Model S will drop it a lot once i sell that...interestingly the M5 was 50%...
