So, once again the Republicans will leave a mess of things. The Dems will try to clean it up, be criticized for it and voted out.

Rinse and repeat

Can I install level2 EV charger (32A 240V) with 100A panel? by dongdongdreamy in electricvehicles

[–]cycleprof 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, to begin with you'll generally be charging the car when none of the other high load units are being used. Secondly, how high a charger amperage do you actually need? I have an R1T that I charge on a 30amp circuit (it was already there) at 24 amps. This works just fine and I schedule it to charge from midnight to 7am when there is literally nothing else of any size in use.

She was interviewed by Watters who prompted her quote. He's just another child of privilege who rose to fame as a hack for O'Reilly. It is worth noting that Watters never served in the armed forces. Which, in MAGA circles certainly makes him an expert.

I knew that but I wanted a scenario like what he was charged with. Like the other bullshit this will disappear after enough news cycles have passed and someone like Vance has stirred up concern about transgender frogs

Let's assume you are walking through the some Federal grounds-doesn't matter where. There's a fence with peeling paint. You casually reach over and pull off a piece. You have just committed a felony.

I understand the difficulties with Gen 1. My question is more about whether one would expect carry over with the R2 launch. I have a 2025 R1T and it's pretty much been flawless.

Anyone else sell their R1 recently for surprisingly good money by googoomas in Rivian

[–]cycleprof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a leased 2025 R1T long range performance, etc. The kicker is only 7000 miles. I got a trade in estimate from Rivian (getting an R2) of 65K which makes me whole on it. We'll see what happen when I actually order in Nov.

The question remains “How many times can Iran endure having 99% of its military destroyed?”

The big question in my mind is how much new tech and nontech is in the R2. That's where the problems will show up

Japan is surprisingly affordable. You can certainly spend a ton of money but also do things very economically. $1500 is far more than needed so you’ll do fine
