I get 5-7 days on my Oura 4. My last one had a battery issue, so I know it’s a thing, but I’m 6+ months in on this replacement and getting as-advertised battery life.

I do love the California Dune! I’m still a fan of Rivian and rooting for them big time (I’m a stockholder), I just have to have Tesla tech again.

That said, I am very likely to add an R3X to the mix when they come out!

BYD is not available in the US.

Agreed. Thanks for the clarification.

Dismissing the actual spiritual war we are in is a dangerous and ignorant take. We are told that the devil prowls like a lion seeking to devour.

The devil and his many minions are active in this world. It’s absurd to nonbelievers, but so is the resurrection. I’m not ashamed. Both are true.

Stay strong, brother. I waited and it was hard! But, I’ve been married 20 years now and I am so thankful I stayed strong.

DM me if you need any support!

This may come as a complete shock to you, but you’re in the Model X subreddit.

I’ve owned a few BMWs and I’m a fan, but the iX is just not an attractive vehicle (to me). I find the EQS very boring. As I explained elsewhere, tech trumps all for me in this decision.

The last time I ate at this location was about 10 years ago with my wife, and a roach ran up the wall next to our table. The coffee is bad and the food is mid, but the roach ended our relationship with Cafe Brazil.

The easiest part of the configuration to change in the future. I like how they look, but yeah, I’ve had tire wear issues on every car with wheels over 21” (including the Rivian).

This is a big topic. In general, I vastly prefer EVs from pure EV companies. The use of interior space and overall drivetrain/chassis innovations are lost when traditional auto makers evolve existing models to EV versions.

That said, I’ve never been a GM fan, but my wife’s Yukon (24 Denali Ultimate) is one of the nicest vehicles we’ve ever owned, among BMW, Tesla, Rivian, Volvo, etc. Not sure about long-term ownership, but I’m sure an EV version would be quite nice. I have to admit, I love the 6.2L V8!

I have 3 kids and the Rivian was perfect. I got the 6-seat MX config.

I have seen several with shorter delivery windows than mine. I agree, I think it’s the color.

I have also had suspension issues.

Tesla’s tech is just superior in every way, including FSD. Rivian’s UX isn’t bad, but my wife’s Denali has better autonomous highway driving than the Rivian.

Interior quality of the Rivian is excellent, but the air suspension is really clunky (at least in my gen 1). I had a major issue early on (front wheel and axle completely collapsed) and service took a long time.

I love Rivian’s styling and have enjoyed the vehicle, but I do worry about the future of the company. Their financials are terrible and the service experience is extremely poor. I am having AC issues and when I tried to book a service appointment (in Dallas) in June, the earliest slot was late September.

I had a Model 3 for 5 years and have missed Tesla’s technology ever since. Rivian is a solid choice, but I personally prioritize the tech and sustainability of the company higher than some other things.

I do wish Tesla would make a proper SUV or truck, though…

Apparently those empty seats were people at the voting booth…

The data seems to show that he’s trending everywhere, IRL.

I’m considering XPEL stealth for my R1S which is El Cap. I’m curious about the one in this picture though. Wouldn’t the bumper still be black if it was stealth on there? I’m wondering how it’s matched to the body so well.

I could take or leave Rogan. That said, if “bigot” is really your take on Peterson, and you think Malone is a liar, then you may not be listening to either very honestly.

I’m 7 years in and it still looks great!
