This thread just proves, all over again (and this forum seems to be very good at), that a new idiot is born every day. And im not referring to the OP. Truly flabbergasting responses. Note that if Safeway posts the wrong price for something then they are legally obligated to sell it for that...

They had a deal where if you put your car up for a trade-in and got a quote then you got the rebate. You didn’t need to actually sell them the car. I put up my Model Y but then defined the trade-in offer and sold it myself. I think the latest version of this is that you actually have to trade...

Ummmm, Tim Cook has: 1. Added over $2 trillion in shareholder value 2. Taken Services revenue from $5 billion to $90 billion 3. Significant global expansion into China, India, Vietnam and Latin America. 4. Carbon neutral for Operations with goal of 100% across all parts by 20230 5. Launched the...

Not as good a deal as it looks. Max pack is $6000, Performance is $5000, so a total of $11,000. So in effect they are giving you a 60% discount...And id call the Perf package "not worth it" until it gets to $2000, which is what Tesla sells their MY perf upgrade for. I got the Max upgrade for...

Ive tried these plug kits in the past, on a Model Y tire. It was a total bitch to get the thing to penetrate the tire, and that was with the wheel off and me at an advantageous angle (read, on top of it with all my weight bearing down). I eventually had to use a drill bit to open it up enough...

FYI, Robo taxi is never coming, at least not in any way shape or form that musk is saying it will. The Robo taxis launching in Austin are a full con job and a total invalidation of Tesla‘s model for full self driving. It’s a gated environment with highly mapped roads Loaded into those particular...

Stock prices today have very little relevance to the actual company behind the stock, See "Tesla". If you just look at Revenues, and assume that when Rivian reaches Teslas revenues it will be similarly profitable, then Rivians stock price of about $13 multiplies out to a price of $757!! Tesla...

Same problem with Gen2 - but its the steering wheel that isn't moving, so it ends up too far away.

This reminds me of my Tesla and the DC-to-DC converter, where there are 3 fuses. Each fuse is like 40amp and can be bought on Amazon for $40 or less. But what Tesla will do is replace the whole box for $1500! And then take apart the box, change the fuses, and then install it in another car for...

The only thing the R1S does better than a Model Y is having 3 rows (thats not to be applauded - theres nothing "difficult" with that) and going off road. By pretty much every other metric (range, efficiency, charge times, service times, quiet cabin (new Model Y only), comfort, self driving...

I use the San Jose sevice center, and saw similar wait times for things i considered "serious". They were going to look at my AC not working in mid June! I called and had them call to the SJ staff while i was on the phone, and they gave me an appointment 2 weeks out instead. I would try calling...

This post is wrong on multiple levels. 1. Class action lawsuits and just the threat of them, almost always have long term positive outcomes - maybe not for the people in the class action but for future buyers of that product or of the competitors products. Are there too many lawsuits in the US...

Just picked up my 2025 R1S Dual Max from service, where it was for over 2 weeks to fix the HVAC system (which was broken on pick-up) and a non-functioning button on the center console. This was the second try at fixing the HVAC, which worked for a total of 2 days last time before failing again...

This forum is becoming like Maga forums that i troll - ("Keep your enemies closer" and all that). Far too many people who either don't own and never will own a Rivian, people who never owned a vehicle anywhere close to $100k (and never will) and have no idea of the expectations that go with...

I think people forget how good Teslas actually are - re battery tech, aero, etc that lead to excellent range on small batteries. They've been at it longer than most, Rivian is new, and i would NEVER expect my Rivian to get anywhere close to the efficiency of any Tesla. Rivians battery...

I am getting closer to Lemon Lawing my Rivian R1S, which i have owned for 40 days and have been able to use for 2 of those...here is what i am looking at, and will only buy electric as any gas car is just going to have major issues at some point in its life. 1. Lucid Gravity - lower cost one in...

The reasons that the SXM app is of no value is the same as why all the other things are of no value in Connect plus. Car manufacturers really need to stop trying to line their pockets with subscriptions that offer limited real world value, especially to the broader market that dont have the...

Which model do you have? Gen 1 or 2? I wonder if its different given the far higher res cameras and faster processing in the Gen2. Also, how did you have the ACC set while in AHA - how many bars away from the car in front? Maybe try it at the max distance (this is what i ended up doing) and see...

Having just driven my 2024 R1S Dual Max 500 miles from SJ to Bakersfield and back, i will say that it is one of the smoothest and quietest cars i have driven for long drives on a mix of freeway and connecting roads. I have owned a Model 3, a Model Y, a Model S, multiple E39s, 2 e38 7-series, an...

I think you are not looking at the suspension system overall and how it is designed. I have attached a picture. If you look at that i think you will find that any leverage forces on the air shock are going to be higher from a hit (pothole) at the wheel than they are at the control arm that has...
