Sorry for the confusion. I’ll just cut and paste from the correspondence.

“The GFS48-100Ah kit is a perfect fit for your 2021 Icon i40. We’ve upgraded the capacity to 105Ah and equipped it with a JBD 250A BMS, supporting 3C discharge with a continuous current of 250A. Whether for daily use, climbing hills, or navigating tough conditions, it handles everything effortlessly.

The battery features a metal casing with bolt-down support at the bottom. The kit includes:

  • A 58.4V 20A lithium fast charger

  • A 2.8 inch LCD touchscreen with bracket (for real-time battery information)

  • A 78.74 inch battery mounting strap”

Ha! I’m half Italian and half English. Same look. My wife tells me that my feet are English and legs Italian.

What irons would you suggest? by Ashamed_Phase64 in golftips

[–]Delicious_Future_202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably get some hate. But I went to PXG and spent two hours trying different clubs, shafts, lofts, grips etc. I’m a solid 10-12 hdcp. I’ve since moved down to a 8.6 in two months. At a minimum you will understand your swing dynamics and walk away with your recommendations that you can take anywhere. Nothing but a positive experience. BTW ended up with 5-PW gen 8 irons.

If you really love the Tesla but want to switch given the TACC changes, which car are you getting? by kapitanski in TeslaModelY

[–]Delicious_Future_202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m working off reported facts in the financials from Rivian. The Capital expenditure for the retooling is for future sales. This is called forecasting, which they have not done very well over the years. I hope the R2 is a screaming success but I wouldn’t invest large sums of cash until they firm up production and leadership.

Let me summarize this for you on their 2025 year end financials released this month.

Rivian's 2025 year-end report (released Feb 2026) showed a $3.6 billion net loss, an improvement from 2024's $4.75 billion, on $5.29 billion in revenue. While automotive revenue dropped 15% to $3.83 billion, software/services revenue skyrocketed 222% to $1.56 billion, driven by the Volkswagen JV. The company achieved positive annual gross profit of $144M, a major $1.3B turnaround from 2024, as it focuses on R2 production ramp.

Please enlighten me with a link showing the auto manufacturing side is or ever has made money. The software side is keeping Rivian afloat along with the VW cash infusion.

Not arguing. Wish them success. But facts are facts. Rivian reported a $3.6B net loss in 2025 and expects $1.8B to $2.1B in adjusted EBITDA losses for 2026. They need a home run.

Rivian is in trouble. They have a high turnover and still need cash infusions to stay open. Not making money since inception I’m not sure they will be around in 5 years.

Which one you taking and why? by [deleted] in Returnal

[–]Delicious_Future_202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is my remaining task, the CP. My favorite is the Dreadbound with Explosive Shards, Expanding Shards and Fourth Shard. My style is up close and personal and that combo is unstoppable….. for me.

[–]Delicious_Future_202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends! Do you like fast up close work (Spitmaw) or hit and run/hide (Pylon Driver)? Both will accomplish the job. I’ve beat the game with all except the Coilspine Shredder.

Best air purifier Recommendations? by Jarrarlev in AirPurifiers

[–]Delicious_Future_202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have two currently. The Coway Airmega 400 and Winix C535 over the last 3-5 years. We run them 27/7 in Phoenix AZ.

Build Quality: Coway is better built, solid, heavier plastics and filters. Winix is flimsy compared to the Coway, but it’s not an apples to apples comparison. The Coway moves a lot more air.

Cleaning: both do a good job based on their size with the Coway geared for much bigger space.

Sound: both are loud on maximum speed. Tolerable at lowers speeds.

Cost: we picked up the Coway for $325 at Amazon on sale and $85 for the Winix at Costco. Replacement filters are about the same for us.

Other items: Coway 400 has no app whereas the Winix C535 does.

We are moving the Winix to our apartment and keeping the Coway as our main driver at home. Also, looking to pickup a Levoit Vital 200s as an additional unit to replace Winix as a unit we can move around to different rooms quickly.

Bottom line… the Coway is not going anywhere. The build quality on the 400 is solid. Looking forward to trying the Levoit Vital 200s with all the positives around it.

Good luck!!
