As long as they aren’t Honda/Aston Martin F1 engineers.

It all depends on how large of a capacity battery pack you have. Unless you already have one it’s probably a lot cheaper to carry a small generator and a gas can or two.

It’s what places that don’t get very cold in the winter use on the roads.

They will price themselves right out of the market if they try and charge nearly $140k for a R1 tri/quad. It’s simply not built well enough or at a quality point to be worth anything close to that. At the current prices it’s very questionable and only slightly justifiable because there are so...

The R2 is about as much of an off-roader as a Jeep Renegade. It has some ground clearance and can manage some rough forest service roads but you aren’t rock crawling or doing serious trails in it. It’s built to suit an image that sells not for serious work.

I wouldn’t worry about it. The 3PMSF is a joke and solely there to market tires. All it means is that tire had 10% better traction during acceleration on snow than the standard tire and doesn’t test anything with braking, cornering, ice, etc.

You need a neutral bonding plug. Easy to make from hardware store parts or to buy if you want.

It seems like a weird choice but I guess somewhere a bean counter weighed the slight cost savings of no radio hardware against the odds of reducing sales and the math worked out favorably for the company.

Uh oh.

One is descended from Lucas, prince of darkness so it’s unlikely to be trouble free.

Business as usual with the US government for the last few decades. Find a way to work around the loopholes, pay the right people or bribe enough politicians.

If you want this to be off grid you need more tank capacity. Only having 60 gallons of water and 30 gallons of grey capacity is not enough. I spent two years living off grid in a trailer with 80 fresh/40 grey and that’s only about a week of navy showers and dish washing for one person before...

Along with higher fuel prices have come higher electricity prices. Due to fuel cost increases my rate just went from $0.29/kwh to $0.37/kwh.

I wouldn’t get too excited. The HT2 and AT2 are OEM tires on Ram 2500/3500 trucks and they have a reputation for wearing out fast and being an all around below average tire.

Or…don’t rear end someone with a hitch installed?

I was going to say just use a quarter but you got fancy and cut up a toonie instead.

I don’t think there’s as much money being saved between a Rivian and an ICE pickup/SUV maintenance as thought. It might seem like it because you aren’t paying for an oil change once or twice a year and a differential/transfer case service every few years but you’re buying a $1000+ set of tires...

I didn’t know gender and ethnicity had anything to do with developing a vehicle.

It’s a one hand lift and slam, not exactly hard. Most of my trucks have been on par with effort required, more than one has had a heavier and bulkier tailgate.

How do you figure that? The engine sits in the same space it does on an ICE truck, the motors sit in the same space as the solid axle differentials, the battery sits under the floor in space previously occupied by a transmission, transfer case and driveshafts. The chassis has more than enough...
