  1. In the world of Luce, The Rivian R3X could shine

    I just ordered a Luce on the condition that they'll take my Aztec in on trade
  2. Rivian V2H Technical First Look (Patent)

    They are absolute fools to not rush this into production. Do they have any idea how many storm sensitive owners that can't wait to get their hands on a quiet energy system that actually starts when it's needed? I would buy this in a heartbeat over having to listen to my generator after a hurricane.
  3. Bodywork repair cost? Is this true? Same for R2?

    I just leased a Model 3 for my daughter (17 years olden accidents) My insurance went up $750/month. That was Nationwide. Gieco was $2 cheaper. I almost returned the car.
  4. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    I've had R1S with 20 and 21's. The 21 was more of a raid tire and had better range and was quieter. The 20's are more off-road worthy and absorb more road imperfections. The 20 inch wheel with AT tires also have a slightly bigger diameter and IMO look better on an off roadish vehicle
  5. Why is service still so inept?

    The mechanics at the Ft. Myers service center have been spot on. Maybe bad mechanics is just a regional thing. They replaced my AC system and even the carpet as it apparently had become wet. They also offered to deliver my car when finished even though I'm 30 miles south.
  6. R2 has no rear locker?

    Why would the R2 have a locking diff when the R1 doesn't even have one? Nor will you need it. If you're going that hardcore you're looking at the wrong vehicle.
  7. Xiaomi car business profitable after only two years 😮

    China subsidizes by offering more than zero interest loans. They also refuse to protect intellectual property making R&D significantly cheaper when you just copy others work. Not to mention human rights violations that would put any Western firm in prison. So no, I'm not impressed by Chinese...
  8. 100K miles and still running like new

    I couldn't get 18,000 out of mine before the noise became too much. That's happened to me on an R1T and an R1S. I do more city driving and I think that's the catch. It's hard not to use all that power when it's just right there!
  9. Am I the only one who thinks anything less than 400mi of range is legacy at this point?

    I'm pretty content with quick charging with 300 miles of range (which I rarely use). Bigger battery=more weight= more tires and poorer handling. I'd prefer to live with smaller battery, better handling and longer tire life as that's 95% of my use. To sacrifice those thing for 25% more range when...
  10. Solid-state battery race accelerates

    Not so sure it was outgassing as much as melting of the bag sealant
  11. Official: Scout EV SUV & Pickup debut w/ Gas Range Extender EREV, 4x4, BOF, Lockers, Sway Bar Disconnect -- All Specs, Wallpapers, Videos

    Nice. You managed to make fun of people with speech issues and denigrate elderly people in one paragraph. I know a lot of engineers who are pretty smart and not socially underdeveloped, then there's you. That being said, many of the sharpest minds and best innovators didn't need engineering...
  12. R2 Music system missing CD player

    I know right?! and I can't see an 8 track player either. WTF?
  13. Solid-state battery race accelerates

    This is getting interesting. I guess we'll know in 3 days
  14. Solid-state battery race accelerates

    It doesn't hurt to be skeptical...I have learned that if it sounds too good to be true...
  15. Solid-state battery race accelerates

    The Donut Labs battery apparently doubled the range of the Verge motorcycle. I just have a hard time believing the Donut Lab guys would go through the trouble of renting a display at CES to pull a prank. They already have a respectable product in there hub motor. They weren't looking for...
  16. Solid-state battery race accelerates

    Not to mention that Donut Labs claims could be true. Very exciting times,
  17. California Dune Sighting In Naples

    I was admiring your R1T at Wynn's Market the other day!
  18. About to lease a R1T. Need some help.

    I'm driving my 3rd R1 series (1 truck, 2 SUV's) Never had any serious problems. I did have to do a hard reset once. The vehicles are pretty incredible. I believe some early adopters had unrealistic expectations. The key card does have to be placed where the picture on the card specifies for it...
  19. The unwanted first child (Gen 1) of a forgotten relationship?

    You may want to take note that "tongue in cheek" comments don't always come across as that when launched from a keyboard. There are a great many trolls who enjoy igniting a firestorm towards people by suggesting inflammatory unreasonable ideas. You don't want to be confused with them.
