Looks like DYSON air fans. Can never unsee it.

You can just push the button on the right side of the steering wheel, and say things like "Turn on Wipers. Increase wiper speed. Set AC to 65°." And a hundred other commands in the Tesla.

"I'm an internal combustion engine revving up. My best days are behind me, and I'm expensive to fuel, I'm not very fast, but I can still do something an electric can't, listen up!". There was a guy with a super-loud Chevy pickup who would floor his 350 V8 motor back in 1985 and show off his...

Let's see a race up a sand dune, as someone posted videos of a Tesla Y beating a Raptor and 2 Jeeps up a sand dune recently. How does a Beast do against an R up a steep sand dune?

Hummer engineers did NOT do the math. Much EXTRA weight, terrible handling, terrible suspension, like a tank. More weight means losing range, more expensive, way more expensive, much slower, way slower. Losing in every way.

I had a Dodge pickup in the shop several times in the first year, and a Chevy van in the shop about 15 times in 2 years. Tesla Y in the shop zero times, in 15 months, zero maintenence, no complaints.

And they are waiting on the kitchen slotted spoon from China on back order for 6 months due to supply chain issues. ?

Looking at the hodgepodge of options Rivian offers, it seems like it would slow down assembly a lot for 17+ options. Poor planning. I priced a Rivian with all options at the upper limit. It is actually $123,590. Not many people will line up for that. Good luck with resale on this Dyson fan...

Yep!

Maybe short RIVN to get a "free" Tesla

Optimization problems of trying to maximize profits to keep the doors open are extremely difficult as Elon said Tesla was merely weeks from bankruptcy when Model 3 was ramping. Rivian is extremely new at this puzzle. The more we raise prices, the more customers disappear, and the more...

It looks like Rivian will most likely fail. Buyers backing out by the 1000's. You can't ramp up at too exorbitant prices, with one YouTuber posting a 22.4% increase on what was already a very expensive, non-compelling, meh, pickup. Yes, but what about the headlights, bro? Ever seen a...

It's going to be extremely hard to find Rivian buyers at the new prices. They are burning their bridges with the buyers willing to do so at already high prices. I get that they are having difficulty ramping up and getting paid quickly on existing orders, when production pace sucks, and you...

After $50,000 markup, $895 for windex, $1,000 for fabric treatment, $400 for wheel locks, $400 for window tint, etc, etc, things start to add up quickly. Bought a car 3 years ago that had these ridiculous add-ons. Saleswoman said I can't just tell them you won't pay for them. I said $30 on...

They definitely need to work on company names. Canoo and Faraday Future...

The front end of the Rivian is a deal-breaker for me with the ? nerdy eyeglasses look. Then, it finishes with the metro Honda Ridgeline look throughout. NOT for $90k. Maybe 30k.

Zenny said: "Some won’t need or ever use 4wd anyway." I watched a guy in a Dodge pickup spin his one wheel (no traction control) from a stoplight 3 times to slowly get started in the rain a few months back. The 4th time hooked up under very limited throttle, just to get moving. If a car was...

2020 Raptors in the Denver area were shown on a YouTube video posted by "The Fast Lane Truck" channel today to be marked up to $111,000. Unbelievable! ?

I used to drive an El Camino from the 70's that couldn't even handle its own weight over any bump. HARD clunk! Payload zero. Towing capacity: maybe a jet ski. But people thought it was tough 40 years ago because "It had a 350!!" Was not fast at all and burned a lot of gas to prove it.

CT can handle 3,500 lb payload in all 3 configurations, due to beefy suspension, but towing is 7K, 10K and 14K due to pulling capacity.
