How “strong” tungsten is, is completely irrelevant. I’m sure 45 pounds of anything dropped from that height onto that roof would’ve done the same thing.

The internet was a mistake.

It’s almost like no one on Dan’s team has ever see the movie Fargo.

I’ve never had a negative one yet. The responsiveness and gobs of torque in an EV are addicting. At the same time, I love a performance internal combustion motor too. It’s good to have both available in the market. 

im guessing its like a commercial or something.

It may be stop motion, but I got the same impression when I saw the sand worm - it looked like crappy CGI for some reason. The rest looked (mostly) fine to me.

Points off for the slowed-down “Banana Boat Song” at the beginning of the trailer, but that decision was probably made by people who have nothing to do with the actual film.

The stop motion sand worms replaced by CGi trying to be stop motion looks bad in a non-whimsical way. Also that brief plane crashing image looked really bad. Like that has to be a bit on the movie right, that can’t be an actual plane crash in this movie. It looks like it was generated on a PS2

Last year we bought a ‘22 Chevy Bolt EV, and liked it so much that earlier this year we replaced it with a ‘23 Chevy Bolt EUV. To me, the biggest mistake Chevy is making is cancelling the Bolt and pushing all customers up to the Blazer EV (which starts at $49K).

I’ve visited Florida Disney a few times. My last visit (November ‘22) was the first time I felt like I was being ripped off.
I mean...I always KNEW I was being ripped off, it just never felt like it before.

What about a fedora? The Untouchables was really good.

I see Lightnings and Rivians (if you exclude the R1S) with about the same frequency as each other, maybe slight favor to the Lightning. I’ve seen two Hummer pick-ups and one Hummer SUV. I haven’t seen a Cybertruck or Silverado EV yet.

And heck, I think it has more to do with the fact that the Cybertruck had 5 years worth of order backlog they can blow through, whereas Rivian is just selling their vehicles in the relatively conventional way.

None of which were warehoused in North America, meaning that anything not covered under warranty was prohibitively expensive for a Saturn because they all had to be shipped from Europe as a special order. Believe it or not, I did not buy a Saturn because I was flush with cash at the time. 

I’ve seen more of the Chevy’s than Cybertrucks. By that I mean 2 vs 1 lol.

Yeah but at least with the Astra, you could still get parts from Opel. 

I am in this same boat 100%. If I were to be forced to buy an EV, it would be a Rivian with little other thought, but I also don’t know if I truly believe the company will still exist in 10 years. I bought a Saturn Astra in 2009, I’m not going through that again. 

I don’t know I seem more Rivians where I live than any of the other electric.  I have seen probably 3 or 4 Rivians, but only a single Ford Lightning.

It’s a little unfair to compare those since the Tesla has 8 years of reservations built up that they are finally starting to deliver on. The number of new reservations is literally just the number of them they were actually able to build in that time. I would imagine these level out a bit more over time.

The R1T still seems like the best e-truck offering to me.  I’m just somewhat scared at the long-term viability of the company, but I get the feeling that if things got bad enough for Rivian, they’d likely be scooped up by a more major brand.  Hopefully that’d mean long-term support, but it could just mean vultures…
