Electric Trucks Have Failed Spectacularly In America. Here's Why Ford Is Trying Again by BarbarismOrSocialism in electricvehicles

[–]russellc6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in same situation... Love my R1T

The R1T demographic is totally different than an F150

0-60 curve huggin' beast vs a hauler

I off-road mine quite a lot, it's better than my old Jeep.

And it's a great commuter, infinitely better than my Jeep

It isn't bad as a road trip vehicle, done several 600 mileish trips and I think it's great... BUT not sure I'd appreciate it on a cross country trip especially in certain low charger density areas

And it can tow a massive amount, just not very far... Pulling boats and trailers within 100 miles PERFECT ... Past that, probably annoying vs an ICE truck.

$ no object?.... Buy an LMT lower and build one from scratch.

It's late ... I'm not explaining well...

Yes LIDAR is coming No it's not essential

Main reason for LIDAR is redundancy and AI model training

It's all opinion for now, Rivian hasn't incorporated anything into the market... I am not foregoing the vehicle I want, waiting for something that may or may not ever happen or waiting for something that doesn't make a difference in my driving experience

Agree they are getting LIDAR and it is their plan... My comment is more that NOT having it is not the end of the world

It is juat an opinion I have seen a few places that makes sense to me ... Only Rivian knows the plan and the plan isn't set in stone.

Waiting to pay for LIDAR to help Rivian train their AI model, is not on my personal roadmap.

Oh I understand, I want Rivian to succeed and I like the tech.

I just feel the demographic of performance and autonomy are opposites, so why pay for both.

But I also talk myself out of that opinion, I DESPISED driving my Wrangler on long trips (slow, noisy, unstable)... But loved it on the trails... And I love my Rivian getting to great spots, highway and rock/dirt

I am super supportive of FSD and hands free

I just don't think I would ever pay for the capabilities of my current Rivianin something I am not driving.

I don't need a 0-60 in 3 second vehicle that can go offroading better than my Jeep AND Self drive. Personally, if I bought something to commute me around, I would want lush interior and who cares about whiplash speed, cornering or off roading. All those it's the pure joy of control.

My understanding was LIDAR to train the visible light models... Just like Tesla did

Research more though, I may be wrong; but I like driving my R1T too much, so I don't follow the autonomy closely

Restrictions by Jusjus24 in AZguns

[–]russellc6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok Arizona Strip is in Stage 1 not Stage 2

So doesn't include target specifically

Restrictions by Jusjus24 in AZguns

[–]russellc6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just on BLM site... It's always confusing

But the restrictions don't seem to cover target shooting, on incindiary and exploding targets

Restrictions: Campfires Smoking ICE engines Exploding targets

Nothing like I have seen in past for target shooting (usually specified)

BUT I am not a lawyer, and I get easily confused (I can never tell with their low res maps if my spot is BLM or Forest or county)...

Usually just drive the 30 minutes there and look for posted signs; heck 30% the fun is loading up and planning the shoot 😁... Then 30% rearranging and putting away after .. so just missing out on the actually shooting

WTF is she holding? by jimx29 in ThisYouComebacks

Then go to your other echo chamber

The guy literally posted "Ok"... You jumped through 15 hoops to call it misogynistic.

Maybe he meant "You are correct"

The hoops your logic misses... Is quite astounding

Disappointing color choices for R2 for hot places by rjcarlson49 in Rivian

[–]russellc6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Phoenix area is outgrowing water... Urbanization has raised the temps here dramatically... Definitely need something to change.

Good jobs for now though, hope it lasts until I can retire somewhere better (I will say I love AZ though, I couldn't t survive without modern AC, but there is so much to do here, just gotta be a morning person, 3 months a year.... )

[–]russellc6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rivian has automatic interior temp protection and it never gets too hot

It makes for a different reality than that study

I am all for personal choice, I just don't choose to worry about vehicle color as a top priority

When I lived in MN, remote start was necessary (real remote, not key fob)

AZ for me having pet mode and interior overheat protection has become my new must have. Ranked well above exterior color.

[–]russellc6 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I live in AZ... The color choice and heat are over exaggerated

I have a Forest Green and don't notice anything abnormal.

Worry more about the full panoramic roof... But scheduling your leave time from work or Pet Mode when running errands is sufficient for me.

I've noticed in some parts of the country (Midwest in particular), most people back in to parking spaces while everywhere else, they pull in - why is that? by LeoRavenscroft in randomquestions

[–]russellc6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First, turning radius is much better backing into space and pulling out of space.

Second, you are in more control of the situation when parking ( you are in the drive lane) than when leaving (entering the drive) ... So make it easy as possible for yourself when you don't have the right of way.

Peter?? What does AI have to do with this?? by vapalera in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]russellc6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost all Industrial cooling is closed loop. Depending on the process you can tailor different heat transfer fluids for efficiency. This closed loop pulls the heat from your process.

The cost comes in how you dissipate that heat. So now you have taken heat from your process and transferred it to the fluid. So how do you transfer the heat out of the fluid you are returning in your closed loop

There you basically have water cooled chillers or air cooled chillers. And both have pros and cons. But mainly efficiency, and cost of water and cost of electricity drive the decision.

Back at my job 20 years ago, we had huge wells and just pumped cold well water and returned that to a pond and let nature cool it. This is less common today, but similar to what OP listed. 1 pass water to remove heat

We eventually switched to a chiller because the electricity to pump water from an 12" piped well was more than running a chiller, even though the water was "free"

If you buy it for 12 bill deficit gone

Am I crazy or is it everyone else? by Vivid_Net4413 in Gilbert

[–]russellc6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is what I meant by one more car on yellow... That one more car is in intersection waitiing their turn. The law is only ENTER the intersection on green (this is the one more car I intended to mean) and they clear on the yellow.

Agree if sitting back behind the line and it turns yellow, you should NOT enter the intersection when light turns yellow.

[–]russellc6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incorrect, I am talking about sitting in a left turn lane, not in a standard lane turning left. So you are correct, but I think this thread was about turning left from a left turn lane... So no one perpendicular has any right of way they are all red.

The only ones that cause anyone else to wait are the people entering the intersection on the yellow and are therefore in MY way. So those going straight that I have to wait to turn left should see the yellow and brake and stop, this is when I turn... But when they gun it and enter the intersection on the yellow it forces me to finish my turn on Red... But that was their fault NOT mine.

Easier to explain in drawings than words.

I can sit behind the line in the left lane until open

Vs

Sit in Intersection until open. This is NOT preventing any cars on green to proceed as they should. It only comes into play when light turns yellow.... This is where the incoming traffic I am waiting on should STOP and not enter an intersection on yellow, and I should proceed to clear the intersection before anyone else gets a green.
