I admit I had to look up some of those, but what in the world was in that 1951 Holden?! That thing must be hot rodded up to the gills!

That’s actually false, the insurance can deny claims for the other driver’s injuries and damage. I’m glad it worked out for you through subrogation, but that’s not the case for everyone.

It’s honestly better for you that the cops didn’t arrive in time and charge with a DUI. If the other driver actually has active insurance, the insurance company will likely deny coverage because he was under the influence. In simple terms, insurance companies generally have clauses that say the...

Yeah I used one of these in my Subaru like a month ago when I accidentally drained the battery while detailing/paint correcting/ceramic coating in the garage. Like, totally dead. Little power bank jumped it with ease! Only problem is making sure the battery bank is actually charged when you...

If you took delivery of a car with water spots on the paint - assuming you even notice because many people may not - you’d also be complaining that you have an expensive car with water spots. How you can be so upset that Rivian is fixing minor cosmetic details before you ask is just something I...

If you’re still under warranty then it can be a really good idea. I took my 2023 in after about 2 years for the inspection and they found that my dampers were leaking a bit - I didn’t notice the issue myself. Rivian put in the newer upgraded suspension retrofit under warranty. Cost was like...

Totaled.

I immediately thought “BEES!!!!”

There are still waaaaaay too few fast chargers to accommodate demand so the more the better. It’s a legitimate barrier to entry for many people who believe they can’t reliably road trip with EV’s - whether true or not, the perception is there. Reducing that issue can help Rivian sell vehicles...

Perhaps Perhaps you should trade your Rivian for a Tesla so you can be happy. I heard a future Tesla update will include 3 more types of on-demand fart noises, even for older models! Those of us with reasonable expectations certainly aren’t feeling “abandonware” vibes in the slightest. But I’m...

So is the issue that you wanted to return it outside the 14 day window? Was there a defect with it or did you just not want it anymore?

It doesn’t sound like a gen1 or R1T being better - it sounds like you got a lemon. Every manufacturer has some, and I’d be pushing for a buyback if I were in your shoes. The next one you get, regardless of model or generation, will likely be great.

Remember what happened last time the credit was going away? All the people who bought Teslas were livid that they were now way underwater because their cars were worth $10,000+ less overnight. If you want to lease a Tesla, fine, but I definitely wouldn’t be worried about losing out on a good...

As another poster noted, something changed for me several months ago as well. iPhone 14 Pro had been working really well and now it’s a total crapshoot. Rarely works in a reasonable amount of time anymore. Still not as bad as my old Mach E which I eventually named “no key detected” (the warning...

Tell me more about that 2009 CR-V that is definitely paid off, haha

Has this been a known issue with iPhone 14s? Proximity locking and unlocking was getting really good until like 5-6 months ago when it went totally sideways and became terribly unreliable. It sounds like this might be an issue specific to our phone models though?

Where are you getting those numbers? All the extra costs, not just benefits but also FICA, are like 30% of cost - even if there is a deferred compensation plan AND an optional defined benefits plan (aka pension). Few companies even have pensions any more so it’s probably closer to 20% for most...

Someone actually has a working camp speaker?

Very nice. The more I see the green in person, the more I wish that was the color I picked. I’m in a similar boat to you - what did they value your trade in at?

Sell em. The traction boards might be difficult to sell unless at a pretty big discount, but the crossbars should be an easy sell. So many people would love the black ones, including myself, since silver was the only option for a long time (but we also only paid $450 MSRP back then, so I really...
