The important thing to me here, is relative to Tesla. These are Rivian's first vehicles, unless you include Ford into their equation. The first runs will need tweaks and bug resolution, until they begin flowing smoothly. Good news for them, that should help their stock. My question would be...
I was looking at the Dodge ecoboost type with cummins diesel. I was hoping they would get up over 30mpg, and the cummins would become more bulletproof like other cummins engines are. The Cybertruck came at the perfect time for me. The good of the Cybertruck sealed me, and while I look at...
That's laughable. Everyone late to the game is taking the tough stance, telling us how committed they FINALLY are to EVs. I laugh. GM did this in waves - first the Hummer, now the Silverado, what's next? haha... who cares? I used to be a die hard Chevy guy - no more. Tesla shows us that...
Adding a transmission only adds complexity - yielding more moving parts to fail. If you don't need it, why have it at all? That's something Elon excels at; finding inefficiencies and eliminating them. It's so nice when you don't have 250 parts that make up your engine, but 25 parts that make...
VW is supposedly the main challenger for Tesla, into the future. Some feel that VW is positioned to be the only one capable of truly competing. I believe that this is a bunch of BS until someone emerges from the late comers. It's telling that "those in the know" don't believe in Rivian...
Expect, if someone needs a charge, and Rivian's charger won't charge the EV in question: A charger could suffer damage. I'm. just saying. Not by myself, but someone will be upset and take it out on the charger.... and you know what? A damaged charger won't even charge a Rivian. Go figure...
Sure - instant credibility. Why not call out the best? haha
edit in: That truck isn't a truck, it's a graphic of a truck that doesn't exist. They cannot go up against Tesla, as they don't have a vehicle yet. peace
No, the Hummer shown was the crew cab with a bed, not a finished interior space. They want to challenge the other trucks that are entering the space, with that very capable bulldog of a stance - great approach, excellent departure, and all. It wins over the numbers the CT has provided so far...
Just have a ...imagine a brides dress, and the train that follows her in silk and lace. Imagine that loaded with solar panels, dragging behind the CT, charging batteries on the fly. hahah
I was around when all this emerged. Apple created the iPod era, and IPhone created the smartphone era. This was all Steve Jobs. This was when Apple was an innovator. Today, they copy, they cheat, and they cut corners. Today, Apple isn't any longer Apple as I knew it. Sadly, they likely...
I would like to see what Apple does, but wouldn't buy it. Honestly, the only way I would buy an Apple car would be if Steve Jobs was still around. Steve Jobs was Apple. He required quality. Tim Cook just makes Apple look like everyone else, sadly. Sure, it can lead to dollars; but, that's...
People can persuade you to say anything. Maybe Sandy has something against Tesla, the CT, or Elon personally. Who knows. Let people decide for themselves. Do we really have to watch a video today to decide whether we like something or not? Go test drive a Rivian! If you like it, ok. Do...
Ford will make it. Ford is partnered with Rivian, and with Rivian already out. Nice thing about this is that Elon will likely buy a Rivian and pull it apart. Maybe that's why he waits. Look into a Rivian and see into an eF150. And, Ford guys tend to be ride or die Ford. Chevy, no will have...
That's the difference between conventional shocks (Bilstein, Fox, etc), even the best available won't touch the ability of computerized micro-adjustments, constantly assessing the movement 1,000s of times per second, to precisely adjust the dampening effect (compression and rebound), adding or...
Interesting. A thought. While EVs become more of a reality, it seems their ICE relatives are likely to lose value, in some circles. I emphasize "some" circles. In the areas where EVs are embraced, gas sales will suffer, driving price down with demand. In other areas, things will remain as...
Funny, they are trying to compete, but they're too late. Where was this before EV? On the drawing room table, waiting... for Elon to rocket to success. It's so sad to see the sleeping giant waken up from it's lazy slumber. A day late and a dollar short. I hope you enjoyed your nap. peace
