Yeah, that’s what I was getting at.

Sounds to me like you need to place a call to Rivian. As it stands, the lack of adoption of your software is in my way of realizing my knight rider dreams.

My personal fun road when I wanted to get away from people and blow the cobwebs out of my mind was Rt93 sound of Rt250 at Beach City to when it intersects 36 heading west. Stay on Rt36 until Mt Vernon (watch for the cops in Mt Vernon) Head north on Rt 3 to Loundonville (cops are nasty in that tourist trap.) Head north…

Has Amazon committed  to funding it through production? Or did they just throw some pocket change at the project in the hope in might yield some results?

A large vessel like this fell off of a trailer outside of the Whiting, IN oil refinery in 2010 or 2011. It took about a week to clean up. They needed to build a crane to load it back onto the trailers.

Not sure what torque numbers Rivian is shooting for, but electric motors can do stupid amounts of torque.

For a “work site” truck, these might be fantastic: great at towing things around a work site, and then do a quick charge when not being used. Never need to get them gas. Possibly charge with windmills or solar…

Or maybe we can take everyone in the 1969 Mercedes-Benz LO 1112 bus...

Folks, this is how the Aztek, Fiat Multipla, slab sided Hondas/Lexotas from 2011 ish, the current Lexus grill, Honda Civic Rs, Prius snouts, got okayed. Speak up. Point and laugh. Write your Congresscritter. Do not get trapped in the Abilene Paradox.

No problem for this 6'5". If I need help, 6'7" son will assist.
Should have seen me in my 1977 Triumph Spitfire days....

I happen to be one of the owners of a company that provides speech reco for the Boeing AH-64 Apache & the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. We are easily understood under combat conditions, but automakers like to play footsie with the “cool kids” who still can’t get it right for your smartphones or home assistants.

Also good advice for any gathering with alcohol/drugs!

Great granddad’s outrigger seat also has a back on it.

Im guessing you havent driven in the USA for more than 8 seconds.....

“the drunk needs a tailgate or the center section should go up with the hood” did however bring to mind interesting images of how to be the designated driver without getting your upholstery redecorated...

You are not going to get incentives with this like normal full size pickups. Ford and the others selling half a million plus trucks a year engineered to a lower price point can afford to offer them, a start up like Rivian using expensive EV tech cannot.

Dead on. And you want to sit in a truck, not a limo. Lots of great, insulated jackets, hard hats. People, hevenif they aren’t in the trades get them for the room.

I thought it was probably automistake doing the thinking for you. I swear, whomever did the programming for automistake on my phone learned English second hand from someone who barely speaks it.

Its nice looking but I’m beginning to feel like a freak for wanting a cabin that feels like its made with switches and buttons right out of Aliens.

That wasn’t the “kitchen table” but an “AirBnB Open MiniBar.”  You been learned.

Detroit very sketchy. I was consistently surprised to wake up in the morning and find that our Airbnb hosts hadn’t robbed us or gotten arrested for the hard drugs that were like, very obviously on display on their kitchen table.
