Yeah it's like that often this time of year. That picture looks pretty decent actually, it's often way worse, like wipers running full tilt foggy.

To my knowledge, they aren’t using hub motors at each wheel, its inbound motor and gearbox pairs with half-shafts to the wheels for long suspension travel.

Not likely, they still need to pack a ton of batteries between the frame rails, and driveshafts are generally inboard of the suspension linkages. Honestly though, unless Rivian has engineered a super lightweight integrated wheel and motor, I doubt it will be a direct hub motor application. More than likely, it will be…

Pfft I have this feature, it’s called empty RWD Pickup truck, Hankook Dynapro HTs (which suck), traction control disengage button, and rain or snow   .

Even though this probably has some actual utility, I can’t help but feel this is mainly so Rivian can be all “See Elon, our shit comes with stupid parlor tricks, too. You ain’t special.”

Tanks a lot Rivian

The traction bars are extra cool too.  I remember all the old leaf spring hot rods having them to prevent axle wrap. 

I got a free voltage tester with the last crane I bought from Harbor Freight. Both are still working great.

Uh, no. If it was from HF, it would have worked up to the point that slack was taken out of the cable then the motor would bog down and over heat while the pulleys start to deform while the axle bends at the same time as the cable stretches and frays not to mention that the hooks crack.

Watch the video. The little dummy in the back seat pushes the door open. Brat.

The ground is a liquid of infinite viscosity. It’s all the same ... 

I’m happy to be of service!

Kinja? BROKEN?!?!?

Especially if he’s one of the f*cking morons who drives around holding the phone (on speaker) up to his face instead of using BT.

This is actually disappointing for another reason. Sometimes talking is easier than thinking, so I have very random conversations with myself out loud, typically in my car. If it’s not listening to me, what’s the point in hoping it’s some poor sap’s job to listen to my insane ramblings?

It will always baffle me that anybody who calls themselves an American patriot doesn’t see that immigration is the single most patriotic act a person can display. It’s easy to love a country you’re already part of, but to go out of your way to CHOOSE America and make it your home, regardless of the shit-ton of…

Tiny electric Jeep, you say?

Oh. Oh, that’s nice.

Here come uncle Boonkie late to Thanksgiving dinner - again. Suckin on a peppermint real fuckin loud, shuffling across the living room rubbin his gut talking about “Can a brother get a plate?”
