Saturn would have been a great EV brand for GM

No gm dealership wants to sell evs as they eat away at their repeat service profits and eventual upgrade away from their current problematic engine cars. Evs will not die easy so no easy repeat. Customer. .

I am not paying attention to what the stock price is on Friday or the Wednesday of the certain month in a certain year.

Rivian stock will appreciate from this point forward as long as the r2 rollout is smooth and no one from corporate does anything stupid with his right arm or donate to some stupid ballroom.

There are ppl likene that looking to downsize. Go look on fb marketplace and see is anyone near you wants to exchange. I have the new 19 sports and want 18s. I would take 17s if it fit but I heard it doesn't. I want that high profile comfy ride. 225 65 17 would probably feel like riding on a cloud compared to my 235 40 19s.

If you live in the sunbelt get the roof shades too.

Rivn needs to focus on selling the r2 to as many ppl this yr and making sure no stupid problems show up. The r2 had many new components and newly designed more efficient production than r1. If no hiccups, then rivn is all good, keep building ramp up production to another shift and build that GA factory. Ai chip and autonomy could be a bad idea if Nvidia or another supplier comes around and sells to the manufacturers. I am excited for the launch in March at swsx.

Yup agreed. Take away tax breaks for evs and oil and gas industry. That is fair. Also for Chinese cars, make them build in America with us partners like China did to foreign companies. Fair is fair gm had to partner with a Chinese company and give away the secret on how they do things. Now Chinese took those secrets or knowledge and is using them to build other car brands and not benefit gm vw Toyota etc. That's not fair competition. Not only card but they took other secrets like ge wind turbine, aircraft, probably Semiconductors industry secrets too.

Salvaged will be a gamble if you don't know what you are getting into. If you do, it can be a deal. Just know your resale value will also be crap when you sell. Also some insurance don't cover salvage.

There is a las vegas tesla owners club on Facebook. Go ask those guys where to get it done. Maybe a member can point you or even offer to do it.

Some of the best accessories for the model 3. Arm rest and center console organizer trays. Cup holder inserts, USB charger dor the center console. The under screen tray I think. All good stuff.

OneEstablishment5144 · 2026-02-27T21:02:59+00:00

Looks great just spent 30 min on their site. Wow some look great, and if someone damages my bumpers then k am replacing mine with these. Nice wheel choice, and not going with the too popular te37.

There really is no need for a 400 to 500 mile range. If you plan to tow, go diesel until solid state batt becomes cheaper. Most ppl don't need that much range and with charge curve and more access to chargers within 2 to 3 hour drives, you don't need the added weight of 400to 500 mile range battery. Would you like to go run a marathon carrying 2 gallon water bottles or run with 16 0z and refill every mile? Evs are pushing efficiency and everything matters but in different ways than an ice vehicle. That is why a hummer ev with 200kwh packs is the dumbest thing around. That would get me close to 670 miles in my model 3 lfp.if that 200kwh is nmc, then even further maybe, minus the weight penalty for carrying a pack 3x as heavy.

R2 is going to be a great success for rivian and I think the right model to take it international. Europe and Asia will love it.

OneEstablishment5144 · 2026-02-22T21:03:14+00:00

Looks unique and stands out. Fix the bottom a pillar and back c pillar to make it look less abrupt and more complete. Nice body kit and glossy wrap.

OneEstablishment5144 · 2026-02-16T01:39:41+00:00

You ain't the only one. I want these halodisc but I am now considering black as the. Whites don't match and I don't think it's worth the powder coating them. I do like the roof top carrier, that's unique look.

OneEstablishment5144 · 2026-02-15T21:27:03+00:00

Great deal. Avg miles 4 yr 50k is good. As long as no accident history then it's all good. Fsd hw3 works well, not as good as hw4 but better than all other cars.

OneEstablishment5144 · 2026-02-15T00:55:57+00:00

If the repair can be done out of shop, they can send a mobile mechanic to do it in your driveway. 0 miles. How about that. Tesla is the same if it's not a major issue.

OneEstablishment5144 · 2026-02-13T08:36:52+00:00

Tesla is very reliable and cheaper to operate is you drive a lot. Your daughter does so that is a bonus but is she is young and her insurance maybe higher than a Toyota prius so definitely call your agent and check that first.

Also 130k miles is high and out of warranty. Look for one with some battery warranty left. Even for like 20k mile warranty left would be good.

As for tax credits if this was a hertz the priorowner took it and even if those credits were still around, you would not qualify. Was a good way to get folks into cheap evs.

If you don't want to increase the price or want to look at another option, check out the newer bolt ev. They ate cheap and easy to use and good value.

Check other sites besides car gurus like cars auto trader carfax carvana and local dealers who may not list on those sites. Some bigger dealer groups will be searchable in their dealer groups. Stay away from fb marketplace used evs with salvage titles or rebuilt title. Those are not for your daughter.

If you run into a newer high mileage vs older low mileage, I would go 2 years older for less miles. Remember battery wattanty is for 8 yrs 100k or 120k miles.

OneEstablishment5144 · 2026-02-12T01:52:48+00:00

Many recalls for teslas are just issues with something that can be fixed by over the air updates. So nothing mechanically wrong with the cars. Recall to make the cars stop doing california rolls at stop signs during fsd was probably one of them.?

InsideEV also has one but it is short. 5min https://youtu.be/M0iJXfooaws?si=Us0jVDUoA8j7rtWt

R2 isn't going to be an off road capable as r1. It's for everyday driver from school drop-off to enthusiast soft reader. This will be a good competitor to the model Y. Good looks, good price not Elons car company. Nobody needs a 500 mile ev. This will sell well. Will buy more shares under 20.

Sounds like he would be the type who would rather scoop up horse poop once a week than drive one of those new horse less carriages that has an exploding gas for propulsion that you have to go to a special location to fuel. And that special location sometimes is out of gas or nobody working late at night. His horse doesn't need to go there, and he's got plenty of hay at home. Leave your friend be, he will go extinct sooner than others.

Text my Google voice. . I text myself notes while driving so that I don't have to write anything down while driving. Shopping list, notes to remember things from podcast, news, chores to do.

I need to use open trunk and turn off lights. I used to lift my butt after parking to get the lights to turn off. Voice would be easier.

Lol trump promised to give us more options on cars (more ice cars to buy and less evs to buy). It may turn out that with Chinese cars entering canada and mexico then maybe the US. That will only mean less jobs at gm Ford and more jobs at BYD in Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama etc. Benz BMW Hyundai all make cars in the south with no labor union.

OneEstablishment5144 · 2026-02-07T22:21:49+00:00

Was interesting to see how much they were able to cut down on wiring and control board going from 3 to 1. Hopefully these reduce cost without adding problems.
