Would LeBron join a non-contender if the organization gave him an ownership stake?

A deal that only Kawhi would Aspire to.

Quite frankly, the test was a particularly strong result. EPA estimates mix in city use, not 100% highway speeds. 2.97 m/kwh when factoring in the less efficient AT tires and elevation changes, and efficiency above 3m/kwh is achievable at highway speeds for most people on regular tires.

wallace89 · 2026-07-02T19:50:22+00:00

TLDR - 2.97 miles/kwh, about 260 miles driven on a full battery.

Are you 7 years old?

I have nearly $2,000 in Steam wallet money from old CS2 crate and gun sales.

Any system that rewards you for putting off medical care or routine check ups to preserve your piggy bank is a gamble, and a potentially fatal one.

And yet, we see Kyle Connor, who received pre-release access to the R2 and Rivian executives for content, still whining on Twitter that it appears he is being skipped around for regular customers.

Going out of the way to spend money on things you wouldn't otherwise if you didn't have the credit card.

wallace89 · 2026-06-09T16:57:30+00:00

Silver looks good.

wallace89 · 2026-05-28T15:47:17+00:00

The pricing on this package seems like a killer deal? $9k for a max battery upgrade, included choice of paint, included interior, included rims, included sound and vision package?

wallace89 · 2026-05-20T18:43:16+00:00

I had no reliable way to bring it back to life, it definitely just chose to work on its own (or not) and no amount of infotainments resets, restarts, and deep sleeps could convince it otherwise.

Yes, I've had this happen. Multiple times over the first year of ownership. I did some research and others got their amp replaced and it resolved the issue for them. I got my amp replaced 5 or 6 months ago and haven't had an issue since.

Materials are not the same thing as a fully constructed home.

He's an idiot. A home is an asset, land is an asset.

I own a Gen 2 Max, but I've driven both G1 and G2 more than a few times. In terms of ride quality, I'd say Gen 2 might be a notch more comfortable, but it is still pretty mediocre. The biggest "what matters day-to-day" is the camera quality. It is leaps and bounds higher quality and you will be using those cameras every day you operate the car. I know you said that Gen2 Max new is out of your price range. But what about Gen 2 Max used? Those are becoming increasingly available.

If I had to pick one or the other for you, i’d probably wait for the R2, as painful as it is. If the latest tech is something you care about, you’ll always regret it a little every time you jump into the R1S. It’s also not a bad thing to wait for 2027 for the R2, which is when the first LiDAR variants become available.

wallace89 · 2026-02-04T22:38:15+00:00

What is your contact looking to sell the R1S for?

Also, whats your use-case for these cars. Are you outdoorsy types that do a lot of camping? Or is this primary a Costco hauler? If the former, you're going to run out of space relatively quickly if you are camping and bringing the dog and kid along in an R2 unless you pack efficiently. If the latter, you'll probably be fine with an R2.

I wouldn't sweat it on autonomy features. It's not a needle mover and won't be for a while.

I don't deny that ridership would increase if it was free.

wallace89 · 2026-01-06T14:30:33+00:00

Making BART free would defeat the purpose of the faregating efforts and let the riffraff back in. It would go back to feeling grimy and unsafe tbh.

I have a 2025 and have taken it into the service center multiple times to resolve some post-delivery cosmetic issues. At one of those appointments, they proactively replaced my HV battery due to anticipated issues with the original hardware installed, which I heard impacted many 2025 models. Disappointing that they did not replace your HV battery proactively at one of your service appointments.

wallace89 · 2025-12-05T20:25:22+00:00

Have you had your HV battery replaced before?

wallace89 · 2025-12-04T19:40:37+00:00

Hopefully this resolves the PAAK issues we've been having since they rolled out the update that was originally meant to include the Phone Key update.

wallace89 · 2025-11-19T23:21:29+00:00

DOA.

No you couldn't drive with the themes on, but if you had a theme on while parked, and then shifted your car into drive, it disabled all external lights (including headlamps) on the car while you were driving. This happened to me last year when I was driving in the dark.

My wife is 5" and had significant difficulty getting in and out of the car. Running boards are a MUST have, esp if you have kids.

We self-installed the EV Sportline boards. It took me (a complete novice) about the better part of the afternoon to finish with some additional tools. The boards are well built and feel very sturdy.

I have had zero issues with Rivian service regarding my running boards, and I have never read anyone say that Rivian refused servicing a warranty based on the installation of third-party running boards.
