Well, congrats to your daughter. I am envious of her coming freshman year, as that was one of the very best years of my life, she is in for so many new and memorable experiences and will meet new life-long friends. But back in my day, I fit all my stuff in one normal sized sedan, as I recall...

I miss the days when Canada and the USA were good friends.

the Tray Stay Tunnel Tray Back Board Tunnel Tray Side Hustle Tunnel Tray Brace Back If you replace the sold back with a series of braced horizontal rods, you could gain the versatility of securing straps, belts, rope, and create a handy drying rack, etc. and call it the Tunnel Tray Ram...

As I recall, the early versions of OS/2 were on 5 1/4 inch floppy floppy discs. Which reminds me, will the Rivian OS/2 update the audio interface with the appropriate drivers so I can install this baby?

That's a curious vehicle, if the sides droped down like on the Honda Acty, I would predict it to be a massive hit, although the clever way the bed extends into the back seat to allow 4x8 to be carried with tail gate up is a trick I wish Rivian would have executed. The MT1's headlights are...

Yes, you are correct, I got my Cd scores backwards. The R1T is evidently the most aerodynamic electric pick-up on the market, but I am wondering if much of that score is in low suspension mode, aero wheels, etc. . The upcoming Nissan Ariya crossover is expected to have .297 Cd. But could...

R1 aero leaves much room for improvement: just by simply increasing slope of windshield, hood and front end would like increase range significantly at highway speeds. When the R1 has higher drag coefficient than even Ford or Chevy or Ram, you have to suspect they are designing more for a style...

I predict I will pass on P2P, especially in a non-Lidar equipped vehicle, and especially especially if I have to pay a monthly or yearly subscription for it. I predict a licensed 16-year old chauffeur will be safer, if not cheaper, considering their room and board, though I could be wrong. In...

Surely, someone will snap this up and make good use of it. They may or may not bother to fix it up first. I have seen uncounted beat up cars and trucks being put to use every day, many in far worse shape, and so have you

From a previous post on what improvements or options I'd like to see in a new R1T: the following options, in order of most wanted: A conventional moon roof or double-row moon roof with retractable tinted glass you could shade, cover, tilt or slide open! OEM Rock sliders engineered to double as...

This filter is quite good; the only minor issue I encountered was that it seemed maybe an eighth of an inch shorter than the OEM filter, and kept wanting to fall forward until I reinstalled the air funnel; but once installed, it really had a noticeably positive affect on the quality of air in...

I have yet to need to stop at a level 3 charger on the road; with my R1T max pack, I just charge at home. However, there may be cases when on a road trip, I may want to charge to 90%+: When in the boonies towing my Airstream -- range is decreased by half. Sure, in CA, there are almost as many...

RE: EV range -- Comparing EV range estimates between different makes and models and options is only marginally beneficial when the difference is itself marginal. What would be much more useful is to test range in a variety of situations since EV range will differ dramatically depending on...

Well, FWIW, I agree that fossil fuels will remain an energy supply in some form or another for most, if not all, of the rest of the century – but I believe it will gradually diminish in volume. Meanwhile, technical advancements in electricity generation, electricity distribution, battery...
