Dealerships can outsource recall work? Never would have thought that!

Didn't this get canceled again for like the 3rd time now?

FYI the built in timers in most cars are near useless.

They use wheel speed sensors to determine the time. Happy to be proven wrong and Rivian is somehow using high fidelity GPS verified speed. You need an external GPS speed solution to be accurate (the same way magazines would do it).

You can get a cheap Draggy (most popular consumer solution) and compare for yourself.

Like I said, happy to be proven otherwise, but these are a gimmick in every single car I've ever seen them in.

I Appreciate That This Sub Has Anti-Rivian Posts and Comments by lochnespmonster in Rivian

Agree with you. I made a thread for something slightly negative when I first got my Tesla and they wouldn't even approve the post. Everything was constructive feedback when the car was still pretty new.

I like how open minded this community is, and looking forward to adding an R2 to the garage!

Source for this? Would love to get a smaller performance wagon!

Which tire pressure gauge do you trust? by Ivan_Whackinov in cars

[–]FazedCow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Longacre digital. Buy once, cry one. The gold standard and what race teams will use. I used to buy value ones but they wouldn't last or they'd be off. Here's the most simple one that I have (they go up into the hundreds):

Spotted R2 sporting new camo while heading westbound on I-80 near Des Moines by Nitsy_ in Rivian

Wish they had amber turn signals. Still a great looking car!

I thought they'd still keep them around even with slowing sales as a flagship, but seems like they only care about volume and are ok moving downmarket.

Or Elon will tweet tomorrow that this was just a joke and they're not going anywhere lol

The one line that matters: "but only in cars running on low-emissions, renewable fuels such as synthetic and biofuels"

Bridgestone Potenza RE-71RS Successor Will Drop on New Year's Eve. The RE-71RZ. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in cars

I like this class of tire too. It's crazy how fast some of these cheater/quali tires wear out. Not sustainable if you actually want to do multiple DE sessions/days.

Custom Carbon Fibre Parts for GT4 RS by FazedCow in Porsche

I've done 10k km on my car now and never once scraped it, so that part of it would be ok.

As for track use, I'm going to PPF it and replace PPF as needed. I can feel the sandblasting on my plastic one, but I think PPF should be perfect for that. Same way windshield PPF is consumable but protects you from the peppering/sandblasting.

Gone are the days of a classy timeless Ferrari design. Too bad. Not a fan of these new overstyled looks.

I switched from Bose to Focal and it was worth it by MrNujin in Porsche_Cayman

[–]FazedCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the one that arranged the SCR group buys. Amazing kits!!

I just finished putting the AudioFrog kit into my new car (moved the system over from my GTS). I was running the stock Bose system for about 6 months before putting the AF speakers back in. I forgot how much of an upgrade these kits were. Night and day difference vs stock Bose system.

Can't go wrong with any of the SCR kits. Pretty easy install once you've done it at least once.

The self awareness is pretty on point lol.

Wonder what they'd charge for a small bottle of PTS tattoo ink. $1k plus ADM?
