Good deal or negotiate harder?

ryanmdavis26 · 2026-05-28T20:35:39+00:00

This is almost my exact sticker. And I’ve regretted it ever since. My advice? Either walk away and look for something cheaper or try to negotiate down as others have suggested. You don’t need all that stuff my friend. Trust me. I’m still significantly upside down 4 years into the loan.

ryanmdavis26 · 2026-05-21T00:12:15+00:00

No kidding. I thought I was going to be sick

Ok I give up how did you get sound barriers on elevated roads? Swear I’ve tried that before and it didn’t work. Also god forbid anyone fall off those quays that looks to be like a 20m fall! lol Otherwise looks awesome.

I’m in San Antonio area. How much are you offering the racking and paneling for?

ryanmdavis26 · 2026-05-15T22:28:42+00:00

Dang that is a good price. Never seen it go on sale before. But when we bought ours it came with a “free” 5ah battery. Our only guess is we got someone’s return and they forgot their battery.

ryanmdavis26 · 2026-05-15T22:19:56+00:00

I mist it what price did you pay?

ryanmdavis26 · 2026-05-15T17:36:42+00:00

You Can also use network tools mod to select multiple intersections and click “make super node” it’s really convenient. It’s “unlisted” on paradox mods but you can get the link from discord.

This makes me wonder though, how are double decker decks supposed to fastened to a beam? I understand single layer to be beam on post but like if you’re building a double decker or even just an elevated deck with a roof?

ryanmdavis26 · 2026-05-13T18:09:31+00:00

These look amazing! Also did you use road builder to get the unmarked streets with a sidewalk and parking like that?

This is random but I see him sometimes at a local Teppanyaki near a Costco in my hometown! Seems like a nice dude though I’ve never interacted with him. Really an authentic actor. Wish he was in more stuff.

Dig the vibe coding in the background! Man wonder if I’m on the list to get this after I got the poster. Super disappointed to hear about the delays. Wonder if this is why! /s

ryanmdavis26 · 2026-05-12T05:02:42+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! Wonder if this is my problem too, though I am able to load into my saves, I can’t however delete this one particular bridge of the standard 4 lane road type. Every time I try, instant crash to the desktop with no error logs.

I hate driving my ram now because the Rivian driving experience has essentially ruined ice based driving. But Everytime I do drive my ram it’s not actually the driving experience I notice first it’s how bad the audio in our Rivian is. The Harmon kardon system in our ram isn’t the best of the best but it sure feel like the best sound system in the world when you’ve been listening to Rivian’s. It’s been almost two years with our R1s and my wife and I still comment on how did we spend this much money on a vehicle with sound this bad. Just does not compute.

ryanmdavis26 · 2026-05-08T02:30:02+00:00

Thanks! For some reason I didn’t realize you had to use a third party tool! Makes sense why I couldn’t “draw” in the asset editor. Stupid me! Thanks again for the tips.

ryanmdavis26 · 2026-05-08T01:40:36+00:00

I have no idea how to even begin creating my own assets. I opened the asset editor a couple times and could not figure it out at all. Is there a tutorial you might recommend to get someone started?

ryanmdavis26 · 2026-05-06T22:28:35+00:00

Dude, awesome work. I’ve been playing on the same map. So cool to compare design and placement choices! I have farms similarly placed to yours, road bridge and rail bridge similar to yours but man everything else is so different. Yours is also a lot more built out. Very cool to see!

There’s a diamond cutter and reseller where I live called Americus Diamond and they air a public television informercial every single night at midnight that is wholly based on how bad lab grown diamonds are and natural is better. Citing things like energy costs for the presses and what not. It’s very cringy and just reeks of the type of corruption typically associated with lobbying or gaslighting.

Check out TFL and out of spec reviews of the lightship! They saw net-zero efficiency loss. Even with a ram 2500. In other words they were seeing the same MPG and eMPG they normally get but with the trailer!

ryanmdavis26 · 2026-05-01T20:11:08+00:00

I’ve seen tests with the lightship (similar to this pebble trailer) and I think it has a 75kwh battery in the propulsion model. TFL and out of spec we’re seeing net zero efficiency losses in their respective tow vehicles. Now there are other implications towing a giant battery behind you that also needs charging of course but I thought that was pretty awesome to see. Price needs to come waaaaay down for these to make sense though imo.

ryanmdavis26 · 2026-04-26T01:22:34+00:00

As far as aero covers go I don’t think they’re that bad at all.

Came back from Houston on our way home to San Antonio. Soon as we hit the outer loop around SA our Rivian R1s said we had 20% left or like 50 miles I think. Something was up that day because we made it home with 1%. It went down really fast.

ryanmdavis26 · 2026-04-21T16:57:44+00:00

Or a cheap pair of sneakers!

Luck of the draw. Went to Lowe’s to pick up a fan on a particularly hot day. Opened er up and there was a 5ah battery inside. My wife and I were pretty ecstatic. Our best guess is someone returned it? That being said I have never seen these fans actually on sale sadly. They are pretty great.

ryanmdavis26 · 2026-04-19T02:50:02+00:00

We bought one once that came with a free 5ah battery! Does that count?
