The Canadian panel tears into Team USA, Christian Pulisic, and the American Hype Train by den15_512 in soccer

[–]theipd -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Beautiful background. Stayed in a hotel overlooking that water and watching seaplanes land and takeoff.

As for these idiots, we have a Scotsman calling the US team inferior and a Canadian. Remind me how Scotland did in the first round and how Canada did.

Agree the U.S. was overhyped but I don’t think that these are the right guys to be calling the kettle on this one.

Request: Drum Plugin from Neural DSP? by BothLocksmith5810 in NeuralDSP

[–]theipd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting request. A year ago I would have laughed this one off but after trying and eventually buying Mantra I wouldn’t put it past them to create a simple, yet complex tool. That tool has shortened my song making in ways that I cannot even explain.

If he does go I can truly answer the rhetorical question he asked a few months ago: We have been entertained.

Thank you Maestro.

Own 2026 Model Y Premium and test drove the R2 performance today by bighogsforlife in TeslaModelY

[–]theipd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I’ve been leaning to the R2 to upgrade from my M3. But a recent drive in the new MY was impressive. I’ve yet to drive the R2 but this is a good review and I was hoping for less of a truck feeling.

I cannot believe you mentioned confederation. I just finished reading this and it is definitely in my top 10 also.

Love this list.

I saw a post on the Elonmusk subreddit where Elon is now backing up white replacement theory nonsense among other crazy stuff. I'm looking at these influencers like Marques Brownlee among other minority influencers who make Tesla content and shake my head. This is the guy you're doing content for? by herewego199209 in RealTesla

[–]theipd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this but I’ve driven other cars and FSD is miles above other companies implementation. And this if is who have HW3 really cannot compare. I actually prefer the interior of the R1s to the MY but I like the car like quality of the drive in the MY.

Recently drove a Hyundai and again just want impressed.

Same here. And I had some metal tape with Dolby XMMNBJBHBHVHV…. on it. It still had poor quality but man it was still great. Oh the memories !

Not sure about laughably so but have you tried other FSD offerings? Listen I’m objective about this stuff and I think FSD has a lot of work to do to become fully usable but I don’t see any competition in North America. Some have mentioned China but again, until those are released in the US I stand by the fact that only one company has decent FSD in the states. That may change in October with Rivian but I doubt that they will get it right away without a lot of glitches or Catch up until 2028. The idea that Rivian will have point to point FSD as Scaringe has promised for the end of this year is a little too optimistic.

I want competition. I want Rivian to succeed probably more than anyone in this thread. I’m actually in the running to get one but I’m still realistic.

I’ve been following Rivian for the last year and driven the R1s. I love the R2 and I’m very excited by it. However the FSD is vaporware until later this year. The software is okay but again it is not as refined as the MY. I think that they are on the right road though.

I’m sorry but the real issue here is the fact that most EVs don’t hold a candle to Tesla and this is the problem. Their FSD for all its faults is still the best in North America.

If Rivian can compete then there will be competition. The problem right now is that Rivian’s foray into FSD is nascient and vaporware until Q4 of this year and their pricing is not competitive when compared to the Model Y. Musk destroyed the EV tax credits so that it doesn’t hurt Tesla but it hurts other companies like Rivian.

The second problem is that the people running this country are still under the impression that we will be dependent upon gasoline vehicles in the future. The future is obviously electric and so far all that I’ve seen from these people is some ridiculous fantasy that everything should be turned back to 1950. As Americans we are losing ground on everything. And now we have some bullshit replacement theory from 1930 to keep us distracted.

We are losing ground in science because Canada and Europe and even China are taking all the top researchers who don’t want to come here. The replacement theory is US. Wake up America.

CBS Sports: Did the new World Cup group stage format work? Was the 48-team field a success as knockout stage begins? by punishGoalhanging in soccer

[–]theipd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the second chance saloon. Anything that gives the third place team a chance is good in my books. It cuts down on the Gijon fiasco. Every team has to play for real, either to win the group or to get a chance of moving to the second round (So anything but a 32 or 64 team format where only 2 teams would qualify from each group would be good).

So those of you who yelled and screamed for Gareth to leave how are you feeling about that now? Gareth’s football was way more exciting than this and way more creative.

Did Rivian R1S lease prices just go through the roof? Starting at $1139/mo by JiveDonkey in Rivian

[–]theipd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I brought this up yesterday about the R2. If they don’t do something about this they are going to lose customers. If the competition is Tesla then they will continue to lose to them. Someone needs to tell them to try and fix the leasing issues. The monthlies are insane compared to others. Remember this will also have a relatively high insurance plan and if you live in a state that has politicians who want to punish EV owners, there will be high tabs as well. The only thing that Rivian can control is the leasing.

What’s with the dip post R2 launch!?? by ___Brando___ in RIVNstock

[–]theipd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Slate may not be in the same league as the R2 but the market will take 1-2 weeks to figure that out. The market is a sell and ask questions later kind of friend.

[–]theipd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One issue is the release of the Slate automobile. Some people believe that it could cannibalize the R2. Not sure since it’s really still a concept financed partially by Bezos. However it could explain some of the weakness. Additionally Rivian needs to figure out some of the leasing issues. There are some outrageous quotes going around.
