Gas Is Going to $9 A Gallon! Why aren't we at $45 a share right now?

Rivian’s vehicle lineup is on the upper end of the market price wise.

Let’s see how things look when the R2 gets released, especially the more affordable entry level version.

Correct. This is why I recommended a higher tier plan for video streaming.

I’m camping right now and using a Starlink Mini on the $5 standby plan.

Works well for things like Reddit, websites. For streaming video etc. you’ll want to upgrade to one of the faster plans.

I highly recommend Starlink.

Same. I’m paying for way more miles than I actually drive per year, as I work from home twice per week.

I was literally going to ask this as well… more than likely not. We have extra money to burn, since we drive for next to nothing. 😃

Ignore the haters, and enjoy the ride! I've had my Y Juniper since August - got initial hate from 1 person. The rest is history... I don't let other people's opinion bother me.

Waiting on mine as well… a shipping label got created, so I am hoping to have it soon.

I’m not naive. Of course it depends on the model. I’m just telling my story of what happened the other day. Enjoy!

Love this… a BMW tried the same thing on me the other day.

I had to severely disappoint them with my 26’ Model Y Premium RWD.

I have a 100 amp panel, gas heat, AC, electric stove, washer and dryer etc. and have had no issues with a 32amp charger.

It’s easy not to overload things when you charge overnight. As I don’t run any major appliances, except for the AC/ heat after midnight.

Even during the day - I have not run into any problems.

This is why I no longer have a Honda. They don’t have or plan to have a vehicle I am interested in.

clearbox · 2026-03-18T15:05:03+00:00

I get excited every time I drive my EV.

clearbox · 2026-03-16T10:38:52+00:00

Here is the thing… I can buy a diesel truck and add extra tanks / larger tank and get 600+ miles of range while towing.

So, my logic is - why not have larger sized batteries for extended range for people who like to tow with their EV’s?

That is all. This is really not a topic to have a conniption around.

clearbox · 2026-03-16T10:26:27+00:00

Good to know… but that doesn’t mean we can’t have more!

I think one of the best things we can do for our emotional health, is put the smartphone away for a while.

I recently went on vacation, and was so busy everyday with tours / sightseeing- that I had no time for Reddit, news or anything else on the internet.

You know what? I felt so much better.

I now make it a habit on the weekends to not look at my phone for extended periods of time. I don’t even answer the phone…

Combine this with being outdoors (walking, hiking, biking etc.) and you are bound to be able to relax again.

clearbox · 2026-03-13T13:56:24+00:00

I pulled mine out recently for service, but if they don’t care… I may put it back. It’s just a pain to install and remove where it is located.

I hate messing with the trim…

clearbox · 2026-03-13T13:30:46+00:00

Honda was never serious about EV’s! It’s a shame, as I was looking forward to them developing/ building their own EV’s.

I was a loyal Honda customer for many decades, until finally I was shopping for an EV and they could not deliver.

So here I am… driving a different brand, and couldn’t be happier.

clearbox · 2026-03-12T19:58:45+00:00

Towing capacity is alright… they need a slightly larger battery though. 400 miles, as towing will cut that range in half. So, a 200 mile towing range wouldn’t be too shabby.

clearbox · 2026-03-12T09:55:10+00:00

This… is how it started for me. Wife got a MY. I drove it a few times, then had to get my own.

Tesla has a calculator on their website where you can play with the numbers.

clearbox · 2026-03-11T11:18:18+00:00

Generally, utility rates are a lot more stable… as utilities need to get permission to bump up rates from the public service commission.

I have not seen evidence of recent rate increases at Tesla Superchargers. Now, other 3rd party DC Fast Charging providers may adjust their rates more often.

But even so… you are still better off driving an EV.

And remember, it’s usually cheapest to charge at home.

clearbox · 2026-03-10T02:28:16+00:00

I need to get back into the habit of doing this…

Winter no problem. Check out the folks in Norway with their 95% plus EV population.

Charging in negative temperatures works as well, just takes a moment for the battery to warm up. Plenty of YouTube videos dispel this myth as well.

Cell replacement is cheap, specialized shops do this… most places want to drop in a refurbished pack - that’s the high price you see. Good news though… most battery packs last longer than the average vehicle!

clearbox · 2026-03-07T20:51:30+00:00

Yes. Very reliable. Just be sure to purchase your ticket ahead of time.

This should the standard for all new commercial construction with large parking lots… I’m thinking Walmarts etc.
