Please don't buy either a Rivian or a Tesla. We don't need your complaining on either forum.

Not so fast. I purchased two made-in-USA vehicles in 2025. Both qualified for the intertest deduction. My deduction on IRS 1040: $0. Too much income or some other factor. Bottom line: don't count on reducing your tax bill unless you run actual numbers and verify your situation...

From Tirerack; confirming 255/60 20 tire size. All sizes (19,20,21) are 32 inch diameter.

Any bets if $RIVN comes back to life aka >$20 by 2026Q4...?

You know the complete history of your vehicle. That sounds like about $8k value.

Unfortunately agree. Some of us have either towing long distance or remote travel where EREV is an interesting possibility. Yet nothing coming soon. Fortunately more and more DC chargers are being deployed.

Yes, “ going into production in six months” said 6, 12, 18,…48 months ago. VaporWare defined. Same with Toyota and solid state batteries.

"AI Overview Yes, BMW states they make a profit on their current electric vehicles, , matching the profitability of their combustion engine cars, a success attributed to designing EVs for profit from the start, not as loss-leaders, with future models like the "Neue Klasse" expected to boost...

“Rather than spending billions more on large EVs that now have no path to profitability, we are allocating that money into higher returning areas, more trucks and van hybrids, extended range electric vehicles, affordable EVs and entirely new opportunities like energy storage,” Ford president...

What...?

Exactly! Physical independence for our parents, and eventually us, will be aided by autonomous vehicles.

Unfortunately 8% stock price during the presentation seems to support your thesis. Hope you are wrong...

Easy to say until you're dog tired heading home from an adventure, or not feeling well, or sleepy, and your robot on wheels takes you door-to-door without you giving 2FKs about anything. Welcome to the future...now.

FYI for any vehicle with electronic parking brake, disconnect wires/power to the caliper prior to starting service. Good to hear you got everything resolved.

Complete a*holes: "... Firefighters were also concerned that the batteries of the electric vehicle that crashed might explode and cause a fire." How about: Firefighters were also concerned that the batteries gasoline of the electric vehicle that crashed might explode and ignite due to fuel...

Logic of backing in to a parking spot and driving out forward is easy. Entering a parking space, you have more situational awareness. Backing in is safer at this time. And...allows for speedy departure, you know, when you're stealing something, ex is chasing you, etc... And with auto-park...

Thankfully this is not possible. DC chargers are "fast" for a reason, to enable long-distance travel. Not an efficient use of resources to have people trickle charging at a DC charger. Hence no ability--thankfully-- to limit incoming power on a DC charger.

More simple for users! And that’s what matters for user adoption. For example, I have two adapters for my R1T to use NACS: one for DC and one for AC.

Yes, excellent explanation of why NACS is a more elegant, simple, and effective solution.

Tell that to the 40,000+ "safe drivers" who die each year on USA roads, and the many more with life-altering injuries. Any type of driver aids, starting with daytime running lights, are a boon to safety and lower injuries. "Tesla-style" FSD is long overdue, from Rivian and others (Lucid)...
