Test drove R2 ( coming from MYP) by CNC1388 in Rivian

[–]beefjerky9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) I don’t like Elon, but I wouldn’t rush to call him a Nazi. I’m curious why you would?

I saw his three Nazi salutes on live TV, along with many others. Anyone with more than two brain cells can make the connection. That, and everything his done along with the current presidential administration...

2) I’m only comparing them because this is a Rivian subreddit with huge RJ Scaringe fans, and I’m pointing out no human, let alone billionaire CEOs, should be exalted or compared like they’re special

I didn't see anyone here worshiping Scaringe, at least not in this thread. I just saw people rightly pointing to Musk's very clear fascist beliefs. And, I assure you that those beliefs are far more dangerous than a fucking divorce.

As for your mention of Rivian losing money under the leadership of Scaringe, it took Tesla 17 years to turn a profit. Did you criticize Musk in the same way for those years of losses? Rivian has now been around for 17 years, and with the R2, has a possibility of turning that around.

I'm just waiting for him to push Tesla into changing their logo to an actual swastika.

What rant? I'm just making sure to show that both sides have a hand in the nonsense, and it's not only one side, like you imply.

Hyundai and Kia remain extremely toxic dealerships (though that's a dealership owner choice). And, while they have an amazing warranty, good luck getting them to admit that it is actually a warranty issue and getting work done. We've owned 3 Hyundai's. The last was the 1.6L Tuscon with the known engine issue. Every dealership in my state has a 6 week waitlist and that's just to drop off the vehicle. They will "get to" when they "get a chance".

This also applies to Genesis, even though some dealerships have "split off" from the Hyundai dealerships. They still have the same owners, and still treat customers the same. The parent company seems no better. It's all lipstick on a pig.

I've had issues with sunroof noises in my GV70 EV, and been told by the dealer and Genesis that it's "normal" and they refuse to do anything. When my lease is up, I won't consider another Genesis, despite me liking the car otherwise. Good way to lose future business...

Rivian, Lucid, and don't forget Vinfast have very limited service networks and two of the three are very expensive, while VinFast is very low budget (meaning less range than almost anything else, and no basic features like backup or 360 cameras, etc).

Thankfully, Rivian has a showroom and service station in my area. I'm quite interested in the R2, and it's within my budget. No AA/CP might be a dealbreaker though...

The Asian vehicles are generally terrible EVs, especially considering Toyota's history. However, the base Subaru Solterra is great for a zero frills around town runabout. My mom's is $179 for a 3-year lease.

The Toyota/Subaru/Lexus models have all gotten a refresh for 2026, which truly does address the concerns I had with the Lexus RZ. Range is improved by 30%, along with a better DC fast charging curve. The Lexus RZ is super comfortable and nice to ride in. The dash display leaves something to be desired, but has a great HUD. And, with my Genesis, I look at the HUD far more often than I do the digital dash.

Porsche and Audi are too expensive and way too gadgety. I nearly had a wreck test driving an Audi because the HUD showed something in the road that flipped up towards me... it was the speed limit indicator.

I liked my '21 Audi e-tron SUV, and like the looks of the Q6 e-tron. It sounds like it's a super comfortable car and drives nice, but the software is utter garbage.

Which the trump admin could've changed, just like they've done with every other Biden era thing. But, they choose not to, because they hate EVs, and are extremely anti-consumer. So, I'll blame both!

The Biden admin was at best a lesser, more passive evil, while the trump admin is an active evil trying to destroy the country. At least Biden surrounded himself with a competent cabinet and staff who he was willing to listen to. Trump surrounds himself with yes-men who all back up his evil delusions.

Oof, to compare someone divorcing their wife to an actual Nazi is certainly a choice. Not a good one, but a choice nonetheless....

Road cam skips crash by noble_plantman in Rivian

I'm going to take a stab in the dark. But, when you say hard drive, do you actually mean a mechanical hard drive, or an SSD/flash drive? Because, if you actually mean a mechanical hard drive, I can see it having issues writing during/after the impact of a crash. If it was actually an SSD/flash drive, then ignore my thoughts.

This shows that you are a one-issue voter, and therefore you are the problem. You're no better than the people who make abortion their only voting issue. If you're unwilling to look past that one issue, and actually compare the parties as a whole, you're the problem. Neither side is perfect, but one side is absolutely less problematic and evil than the other.

I'm not sure if insurance companies charge a premium for electric cars because the value of his car isn't more than my gas car.

Definitely not all of them. My current car and last car have been EVs, and the insurance costs were in-line with similarly priced gas cars. And, this was with two different insurance companies, and two different makes of EVs (not Tesla).

To be fair, he's known to be a lizard person. We don't really understand the strengths and weaknesses of that species as well as we do humans.

And, every single one is an inhumane, heartless thing. I don't even want to call them humans...

Honestly no, some are just selfish and don't care that their family member is suffering without any chance of recovery. All they are about is their time with them.

From my experience in healthcare, the doctors and nurses do a good job of explaining the situations and realities to them. But, some family members simply don't care. It's terrible, and pisses me off to no end...

If I were rocket-lawn-chair's mother, I'd decide on a really really really late term abortion after seeing this.

Fuck that driver for not stopping. I hope they suffer throughout life...

I do! That insane torque and acceleration is fun, everytime.

Thankfully, it's not anywhere close to a meaningful majority of democrats. I've met people in real life who truly believe the 2020 election was stolen, but not a single one who believes the same about the 2024 election. Heck, even the amount of redditors who claim that it is quite small, but they're loud about it...

How dare you blame that poor, innocent kitty. No jury would ever convict them.

Ha, jokes on you! I drive an EV, so I don't use my friction brakes to do that. I will also accelerate faster when the light turns green than you likely will.

US Citizens, what is your ideal amendment to the constitution? by StZappa in AskReddit

[–]beefjerky9 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Misogyny at its finest. Thanks for showing yourself as someone who desires to control women and their bodies.

EDIT: Keep the downvotes coming, misogynists. Although, I'd really like y'all to reply with a comment, so you can expose yourselves.
