I'm not so sure. It gives current owners (esp early R1 owners) enough time inbetween to trade out and get an R2 without holding on to wait for the R3.
I really want the R3X over an R2 but I''m not going to hold on to my 2022 R1T till 2028 so I'll trade it next yr for an R2. Maybe I'll then run...
Maybe I'm old fashioned but if this driver was on the phone, or under the influence, they should face punishment. It was their poor choice after all. Manslaughter if someone dies.
One thing I would say (coming from the UK/EU) is that there are a load more speed/police cameras (esp. at...
Correct. I went through one time but the snow wasn't quite as settled on the road. They gave me a pass with AT/Winter tyres and 4WD. It was fine.
In this instance, i think the physics of a 7k lb truck going down hill don't help. Snow mode or not.
This is where physics helps us ... 7,000 lbs with low weight distribution.
Glad you are OK. Don't get me started on red-light jumpers. ... saw one the other day and cop car who was also at the front of the lights did f*ck all about it. I felt like giving chase.
This person owes you a Rivian...
As a fellow Brit who moved to this great country (drove extensively in Germany and UK) I would say 20% is generous. I've also driven in India and Iraq and the US is still worse. Zero road/spatial awareness.
Back on topic ... just drive what want. I don't judge the car or person, just the...
All fair comments from the OP, IMO.
This is why I always bang on about the charging port being the wrong location up front (or a least why there should be on in the rear). It's a long wheel base truck that you have to back in if you're going into a 90 degree park spot.
"I remember pulling up...
Agree but I think that's propbably the main market. I certainly didn't put down a reservation coz I wanted to off road it. Heck, not really taken my R1T off road tbh.
I think I've told this anecdote before but when I lived in the Bay Area is came across body shop/auto repair place that had 20-30 (mainly Teslas) all parked up. To look at them, they had small dings on them but didn't look anything bad. I've seen worse cars still on the roads.
I asked a dude...
It's totally horses for courses.
IMO, EV's are great city cars; no tail pipe emmisions, less noise, easy/smooth to drive and likely more places to charge (incl. home). Live further afield or need to drive long distance and we all know it's not so strightforward.
If someone said to me I had...
