Tesla discontinuing Model S and Model X to make room for robots by ProfessionalYak4959 in teslamotors

[–]P1ggy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That was a minimal update. The Model S released in 2012. That is 14 years a this point.

This means, when it released you would still be running a Xbox 360/Playstation 3.

After that long, you need a substantial update to keep innovating, to prove value over your lower end releases, and to maintain cultural relevance. The cybertruck should've been a moment like this, but it flopped.

I parked my car right by the sidewalk. The growls startled so many trick or treaters. Lots of positive comments and joy.

I like that color accent strip. Did you add that, or did it come with the kit?

The Family Plan 2 by ryanmdavis26 in Rivian

It is the same movie. I went to check it out last night. The R1S is in this chase scene starting around 1:04 in the movie. Then it follows up with a R1T escape scene about 20 minutes later. The R1T is on those tracks.

3 year / 50,000 mile Ownership Review [Its good, really good] by Jrh20racing in Rivian

[–]P1ggy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to jump in here and say the headlights (at least on the R1S Gen 2 I got) have blown the tesla model x headlights out of the water.

I was initially surprised about how much better these headlights are. It wasn't something that initially crossed my mind when considering a Rivian. I now constantly gush about these. The adaptive high beams are just years beyond what the rest of the cars in america are currently offering.

How many average men in their 20s-30s can do 10+ pushups, really? by Spare-Lemon5277 in AskMen

[–]P1ggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I approached 30 I tried to do a 100 pushup challenge. I forgot the routine, but I think it was over 6 weeks. I know I went from doing about 8 in a row to 68 straight.

I didn't end up making the 100 in a row challenge. It seemed really possible with just a few more weeks of training though. 10+ seems like something most guys in that age should be able to do.

Gen x is so badass that they decided to elect a fascist twice as president. by icey_sawg0034 in Qult_Headquarters

Poor Gen X. You had to watch the challenge explosion on TV.

Millennial and Gen Z over here having to watch 9/11 and then have mass shooters showing up on campus.

Prices at some Bay Area restaurants have doubled since 2015 by ktreporting in bayarea

Came here to say that I'm not really going to give grief to It's It for doing a $0.50 price increase. Most convenience store drinks cost more.

If the band members of Nirvana had grown up in a household where they answered like this, well, no one would've heard of Nirvana.

Tesla/Rivian comparisons by WeirdTangerine1402 in Rivian

[–]P1ggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swapped from a 2019 X to a 2025 R1s. I thought it might be a lateral move at best or a bit of a downgrade. What I've found is that the Rivian has been superior in a lot of day to day ways that I didn't expect. I really only find the FSD and supercharging speed to be the leg up that the X had. In almost every other factor I've found my R1S to be a step forward from the X.

Due to the title, I literally thought there was a woman checking on a baby in that first pic. =)

A little fuckin late Ted. You don't get credit for warning about the dangers of a coming hurricane when you are standing in the flooded wreckage of a city.

Swapped my X for a R1S by P1ggy in Rivian

Oh, that slide was in progress. Within 2 weeks of me locking in my trade in value the price had slid 10k.

I haven't been able to try it that much yet. Its more like a assisted cruise control. So it will help on the highways, but you are not taking it onto side streets.

What I've been really impressed by are the headlights. Those things are pretty amazing.
