    My Rivian saved mine and my kids lives

    Glad to hear that you and your kids emerged relatively unscathed from what looks like a significant impact.

    Radar Detector hard wire, who has done it?

    I hard wired a Uniden R8 with mirror tap a couple of days ago thanks to the great instructions and pictures in his thread. I tried a while ago with some smaller trim removal tools, but the cover was on too firmly for the leverage available. I bought a kit with various longer tools (~6”) and it...

    BYD construction site in Brazil shut over ‘slavery-like’ conditions

    An alternative way to do ”tariffs” would be to calculate the cost differential for producing the product at the least cost as opposed to complying with all our domestic health, safety, environmental and other regulations. That cost would then be attached as a tariff or tax on the good unless the...

    RAN in Lansing now open

    There was a news article on this this morning - it’s the first one in MI funded by IRA grants to the state, so it’s open to everyone. In a Meijer parking lot, apparently.

    EVs Mooch Off, Do Not Pay Fair Share for Road Usage

    I had a similar argument with an angry coal roller last year who thought I shouldn't be riding my fat bike down a gravel road since his gas taxes were paying for it and I wasn't. The fact that I have multiple vehicles in the family that I'm paying registration/gas/eve taxes on as well as the...

    Cybertruck Laugh of the Day

    An article that I read about the cybertruck getting stuck in the snow said the problem was not the truck but probably worn all season tires. This was in Quebec. I believe that in Montreal, you’re required by law to switch to winter tires in November, so that seems pretty doubtful. Seems like a...

    Trump to kill EV tax credit (11/14/24 article) -- [ADMIN WARNING: INFRACTIONS ISSUED FOR VIOLATING NO POLITICS RULE]

    I recall early during the COVID pandemic hearing a manufacturer of machines that produce N95 masks saying they were $3M a piece to build, which was paid for quickly at pandemic pricing but not when there was an excess supply of off-shore manufactured PPE. At the time, the government appeared to...

    Anyone tried a 1UP hitch rack on an R1S

    I have a 1-up rack that I use with my R1T. It was fine in the down position and could be raised 45 degrees, but not 90 degrees without hitting the tailgate. It just needed to be 1.5” further out. I tried various extenders, but couldn’t find anything that wasn’t somewhat loose. The piece that...

    Where is the new Gen2 Quad???

    I have an R1T Quad Motor. I have launched numerous times and it has never felt out of control - impressively so - other than the one time I foolishly did so on a gravel road. You could hear and feel it scrambling for traction. It was definitely impressive how well it did, just stupid of me to do...

    I came out yesterday morning to the dreaded “immediately replace 12 V battery alert”

    Wow - Abbey from service just called back. They've been able to reschedule the replacement for tomorrow!!
