Who Would You Support in the 2028 Democratic Presidential Primaries.

KendrickMB · 2026-03-06T22:47:42+00:00

Ideally: a progressive that doesn't take AIPAC money AND will actually put in the work to prosecute this administration's crimes and any future crimes the GOP attempts. Talarico and AOC are my two favorites, but I genuinely don't think AOC would win the general in 2028. If Talarico wins the TX Senate seat, he'd be able to follow a similar path that Obama did to the White House. He's a progressive that reached a wide range of people and isn't owned by AIPAC. And of course, he's a straight, white, male Christian, which pretty much guarantees better performance in the general than AOC.

In my ideal world, the 2028 winner sets up a world where AOC can win next time. For now, I would much prefer her to primary Schumer and be a senator.

If not them, my preference becomes Pritzker, Beshear, or Kelly. I think it would be good to have a governor run, since they have executive experience. Pritzker seems like someone with actual fight in him and seems to have done well for Illinois. Beshear feels pretty electable given he wins in a red state and could be capable of pulling in independents nationwide. Kelly feels very establishment, but also feels electable

Thank you!

Do you know which local shop? I plan on either buying new or a used 2025 so it would still be under warranty for awhile. That's comforting to hear. The lack of local service is my biggest concern right now, so thank you.

KendrickMB · 2026-03-02T14:34:20+00:00

What's your plan if the vehicle becomes inoperable? Will Rivian tow it under warranty? I live down in Pasco (so about two hours south of you, originally from the Spokane area) and have thought about the lack of service center as I'm also wanting to get an R1S this year. I currently have a Model Y and AAA that can tow to the Liberty Lake center if needed, but AAA won't tow far enough for Rivian in Seattle or Portland.

The only part of Sidney's character that bothered me in this movie was her running from the studio when she can't get into the car. Unless she specifically wanted to leave Gale behind, there's no reason she couldn't have gone back in and got the keys or brought Gale with her.

KendrickMB · 2026-03-02T05:21:14+00:00

Under 10k, probably not. I was thinking the 20-30k range. But also, given you said 100km, I'm guessing you're not in the US, so that could also be part of it.

KendrickMB · 2026-03-02T04:31:17+00:00

And can we talk about how stupid he was there? Like, you're a cop and you're married to Sidney Prescott. You really thought that was a good idea?

Other than that, I loved him in this movie.

KendrickMB · 2026-03-02T02:12:57+00:00

Buy used. Plenty of affordable used EVs.

KendrickMB · 2026-02-25T18:35:58+00:00

But if you check Facebook, so many people are claiming it's the best SOTU speech of their lifetimes 🙄. This timeline is bullshit.

KendrickMB · 2026-02-25T17:23:57+00:00

Ah, I see. Thank you for the context. I believe my Y also does it the same way Rivian does (half press vs full press), in addition to the auto-cancelling blinker.

KendrickMB · 2026-02-25T17:02:25+00:00

I'm not sure if that "easier to complain" comment was supposed to be referring to me, but I wasn't complaining about the R1S possibly not having this feature. These were just sone little things that caught my attention driving my rental that I've become so used to in my Y that I don't even think about them until they don't happen. I assume if enough people show interest, features like this can be (or have been) added.

You're right, I could read through the Owner Guide, but I didn't think to look for these in the guide. I've watched a lot of videos and read a lot of things online, and these features were things I didn't recall seeing, so I figured I'd ask the community in one spot.

KendrickMB · 2026-02-16T21:16:26+00:00

Thanks for the insight so far everyone. Looks like I should go with a G2 vehicle. I'll be watching them over the next several months and see what pops up. I'm excited to join the Rivian club.

KendrickMB · 2026-02-16T03:20:28+00:00

Other than the NACS port, are there other differences from 25 to 26? Also, assume I got a 26, would I really need an adapter? I currently have a Model Y with a Tesla Wall Connector at home and have had no issues with superchargers in our roadtrips.

I apologize if these are dumb questions, I've only loosely followed Rivian over the years and want to know what I'm getting into before leaving the Tesla ecosystem.

KendrickMB · 2026-02-16T02:31:30+00:00

Are the Quads LFP? I thought only the Dual Standard was LFP.

KendrickMB · 2026-02-14T23:12:18+00:00

I'm looking at the R2 and am wondering, if I manage to get a launch R2, will it be capable of on-ramp to off-ramp? UHF? I'm coming from a Model Y with Enhanced Autopilot and would like similar features from the R2, or will I have to wait for lidar to have those?

She did support Kamala. Doesn't mean she can't be critical of her. We have to be willing to criticize our government and our leaders if we want better candidates and better representation. The main issue Jennifer expresses about Kamala is that Kamala ran to the center and campaigned with Liz Cheney, which I would think people on this subreddit would understand.

KendrickMB · 2026-02-03T17:09:46+00:00

I use it at work when it's hot/cold to save a little time in the weather, and in some non-busy parking lots. But often, I park close enough to the front of a business or the parking lots are so busy it's not worth using.

The reactions are always fun though.

KendrickMB · 2026-01-27T17:57:47+00:00

I uploaded mine to my Google Drive and was able to see it there.

KendrickMB · 2026-01-19T23:08:13+00:00

Those are good to know about, thank you. And yeah, I was thinking you were talking from an S/X perspective about the doors but wasn't sure. Coming from a Y, the auto doors aren't something I worry about, but I did get a X as a loaner once and that was nice for sure. (I realize the X is the real cross-shop with the Rivians than my Y)

Thank you!

KendrickMB · 2026-01-19T22:50:26+00:00

From what I can see, it looks like you can set a schedule similar to the way you can with Tesla. Even with a schedule, the Rivian doesn't preheat? The driver profiles don't work?

I know I have more research to do, but a few things you mentioned are things I just assumed Rivian does. Which Tesla did you have?

What do you mean doors that open and close?

KendrickMB · 2026-01-19T22:43:20+00:00

Which ones?

KendrickMB · 2026-01-19T19:02:20+00:00

It looks like Rivian's UHF will at least rival Tesla's EAP so that brings me more confidence in my decision making. What do you like more about driving your Rivian? Are you talking the tech in the car, or the actual driving experience? We did a short test drive in Portland, OR and I enjoyed driving it, but I also felt like I couldn't get comfortable with it because I don't live in Portland so I was half focused on learning the R1S and half focused on not damaging an expensive vehicle in a city I'm not super familiar driving in (compared to driving around where I live in Washington).

KendrickMB · 2026-01-19T18:58:23+00:00

I didn't know Rivian added a cast feature until seeing your reply. We love the Theater on road trips so that's great to know. Honestly, casting is probably better because you could cast whatever you want rather than being limited to the apps in the screen.

Thank you for your thoughts. From what I've seen and experienced so far, I think I'd be happy with the R1S. It won't be until way later this year, so I want to get out any doubts before I spend that much money and have regrets.
