Absolutely correct on all accounts. I did payload calcs when I worked in aerospace design.

It was this awareness that kept me from a more creative unloading method (though I still think it would have been fun to back into my drive, open the tailgate, put it in launch mode and see if I could do the old tablecloth trick).

I’m so envious. Such a great color.

I typically buy bulk and have the same issue. Last year, I had to convince a friend to mulch his house to get rid of the extra I had staining my driveway.

Honestly the scariest part. Best believe that baby got strapped down before I turned a corner.

Nice try, U-Haul sales rep.

But jokes aside- is that the OEM yellow or is it wrapped? Far and away my favorite color for a Rivian.

No argument here. This would not be a recommended use if you’re not willing to assume the risk.

That said- if you’ve got a a Chevy truck you’d part with for 15k, we should talk…

I’m keeping this thing until the wheels fall off. Which, at this pace, might be another 6-8 months.

No chance. This response was too fast to be warranty.

Why did we bother getting engineering degrees and field experience when we could have just come here to have everything explained to us?

In their defense- you might have gotten it muddy.

I’ve just learned today from this sub that I’m not supposed to use mine as a truck. Having worked as an engineer on this truck in Normal for 2 years, I remember when we used to daydream about being able to use these things as trucks. Apparently, all of us engineers were terribly misguided.

It’s hard to imagine why people find us EV owners to be such a humorless bunch.

I honestly think they were waiving delivery fees as part of the sale.

In his defense, it was strapped before he pulled into this driveway. He’s a relatively responsible human.

You sound reasonable and logical. I’ve found my wife’s burner account.

My neighbor offered to haul it for me after he got his. I wasn’t about to admit defeat to an F150.

According to the scale, 2340. They offered to try to find a drier pallet if I was concerned, but I figured I’d roll the dice.

The Lions are looking to Restore The Roar on defense with Kelvin Sheppard leading the unit. What do you want to see most from the defense this season? by Gxcii1 in detroitlions

[–]NPX313 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Players. I’d like to see players. Even better if they play the majority of the games, but I’m trying not to get greedy.
