To some, money is no issue. We have a family member that gave one of my kids a $500 scarf and $300 belt she was going to donate because she no longer wanted either. I can't even imagine what she spends on handbags.. suffice to say she does not buy knockoffs! For someone like that, paying a $20K...
People aren't even sure if the FIFA Red Card reversal announcement is real, some are saying it might be an AI fake. Any time something new, controversial, outrageous, etc.. happens now the first reaction is "it's AI". What nonsense....
"Bought as present, but is no longer needed".. it always amazes me when people add completely unnecessary "facts" that are potentially off-putting and/or call in question the seller's character.
And remember... "no flippies off the dock!"
You know, you might just be on to something there...
Perhaps for the first 30 days Rivian should sell the R2 for $80K so all the "I just have to have mine now" idiots could get theirs before the rest of us. They'd be happy and Rivian would be happy making increased $$ for the first month too...
Lol... I got run out of that place for asking a few simple questions.. no trash talking required.
Anyway, if you met that r2fb guy in a Costco parking lot... would you call him stupid to his face? Probably not.. just something to consider friend.
The AT tires they put on the 20" rims have higher rolling resistance then the on-road tires they put on the 21" rims. If they could put the same tire on the 20" and the 21" wheel (assuming there's not a big weight difference between the two) the 20" might get slightly more range.
The 20" wheels...
My Model Y was the original design too, it was actually pretty nice looking IMO, what they did to it with the "refresh" is just horrible. I certainly wouldn't buy another one.
This was mine just before I sold it to Carvana..
The ridiculous Juniper front end...
What they did to the rear end...
Great! Now you can relax a little knowing you have a ready spare onboard. It tells you something when Rivian beefed up the Gen2 tie rods to 16mm vs the original 14mm rods.
^ wow!!! You saved yourself a buttload of cash! Rivian parts pricing is crazy 😮
Any idea if the left and right side use the same length outer rod? It would be nice if you could pre-mod just one set and keep it in your bag of on vehicle spares.
Pretty impressive work Ed!
What was the total Rivian wanted for the replacement parts?
What was the total for the aftermarket Moog parts?
Did you end up going to an Alignment Shop to get your rough toe alignment properly dialed in?
