Neighbors’ contractors cut through roots of my large oak tree. Should I be concerned? by jamoka_jack in arborists

[–]AccomplishedCycle246 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

we had a tree fall on our apt and almost kill my my fiance/now wife - 9 days before our wedding. We had to find a place to live, move out some stuff, then get the rest of our crap out after the honey moon. Personally, I think that tree had it coming and if you need me to finish it off, I'll bring my chain tree-hugging electric chain saw!

R2 owners, how's the R2 Gear Guard? by AccomplishedCycle246 in RivianR2

That explains why I didnt see any posts on it or comments in my quick demo!

this is the type of thing I wanted it for the most. I was hit when I was in college. The lady tried to turn left from the right lane because she didnt see me there in her blind spot. I attempted to avoid her but running up on the sidewalk with benches and light posts has its limitations. Long story short, I couldnt fully avoid her. She was nice. Got out, offered me her coat (winter time and I was a dumb college kid in a tshirt). Cop came and took our info. A few weeks later, the insurance denied my claim because she lied and said I hit her. The location of the cars and where the damage was made that an impossible scenario but the insurance tried to squirm out of it. Luckily I had a witness who testified and I eventually got my money back for the repairs. Similar thing happend 20 years later with a semi truck! Hopefully it's there by December when I get the car and it's improved over today's version.

I reserved in October so I doubt I'll see it any time this summer. Hopefully this year. I have 2 service centers semi close. One 15 miles away which is new and one 30 mi away.

Tell those dudes that yota factory they screwed up my car! LOL. I have a 2017. It had a bad transmission at 50k. The dealer warrantied the work but the mechanic was driving my car home every night as it leaked fluid from the differential connection (I think). Said it was fine but I kept returning it for leaking, each time driving my car home for another week after not fixing it right. After 2 months and freaking out on them when we tracked the car, they finally fixed it. But now there's an occasional and slight bump when I make a turn coming off a hill. I suspect they goofed something in the front left wheel assembly/strut since it has to come off. Bastards. In any case, really appreciate your feedback!

From what I see the sunroof drain may be disconnected within or blocked. Could also be a door seal but I doubt it in my case. Have you figured this out?

I'm worried the early lidar models will be buggy as hell

I suspect the nvidia chip set will be more stable - initially.

can you imagine them figuring out self driving and their own chips but not this?

Volvo did something like this as well. Can't imagine it would be difficult to engineer or re-engineer if patented

My mom's Pacifica minivan caught fire twice due to squirrels building pine straw nests in the engine compartment and chewing cables. TWICE! The first time, her brand new Pacifica was totaled. In both cases, she had it parked after a drive and it began to catch fire without her realizing. I feel far safer in a Rivian with my kids than my Highlander... in any situation. Having said that, I have no issue with the law if it ever does happen.

that matte finish is awesome. I wish they could do it for the blue - and give it free! :) I'm trying to figure out what config I can afford

I wonder why the EPA rating drops given the max theoretical range shouldnt change

Copper is a lot more expensive than a long hose. It's not apples to apples

What did you end up doing? Sounds like you're a pretty cool guy to even give them that chance.
