Iām a Rivian owner and investor. I have to admit, yesterdayās news has me concerned. They are moving in the right direction but the question is if they can move in the right direction fast enough. Rivian originally said they were going to build about 80K vehicles this year but reduced that back...
Ummmmm, Ford made $4.3Billion NET profit in 2023. They took a $536million loss in Q4 but that was primarily due to the 41day UAW strike and the payouts they made to the union for pension and benefits packages.
Sooooo, what massive losses?
When I want a more luxurious ride, I grab the keys to my Rivian.
When I want to carve corners on mountain roads, I grab the keys to my Mini.
But when I really want to have a blast, I grab the keys to my Jeep and head to the trails.
@wibornz thank you for the detailed review. Iāve been looking into Wolfbox since I canāt see past the 37 on my Jeepās rear. Nice to know it will do quite nicely.
Dagnabbit, I just upgraded my Wrangler to 37ā AT3Ws. Which are outstanding, BTW.
Maybe Iāll put AT4Ws on my Rivian. Iām not very happy with the Pirelli ATs that come with it.
Back in 2018, my wife and I bought his and hers Wrangler Sports. She left hers bone stock and I got mine lifted and added 35s.
One day it was snowing really hard so I had her take my Jeep since the tires were better on snow. She came back an hour later with this huge grin. She started jumping...
I HAD two regrets. Both which Iāve since corrected.
The first is that I waited a year to re-gear to 4.88. Performance takes a bigger hit than you realize with 37s on 4.10s. The day you re-gear to 4.88 you realize your mistake.
The 2nd was that I went with Falken MTs. Now this wouldnāt be a...
Hey there fellas,
Last August my wife and I ran Poughkeepsie Gulch and had a wonderful time doing so. When we got back to the hotel we noticed a ding in the rear passenger side door that we think came from a fallen rock. No big deal, it's just a character mark.
Well fast forward to this week. I...
I can see how an EV would be a poor fit in rural areas but how so for PHEVs? On the surface, that would seem to be a good fit to make up for the lack of public charging infrastructure.
Thatās FUD.
1. projections on materials were revised as more were discovered. There is plenty of lithium. Heck, the oceans has many times the amount of lithium than weāll ever need. Nickel and Cobalt could be a problem but weāve already got new battery designs that either reduce or eliminate the...
Iāve got a Rivian and itās an amazing vehicle but there are still valid reasons for people to skip them for now.
The price is obviously the biggest one. My R1T starts at just over $70K but that is with the weakest electric motors (which are still pretty good) and lower capacity battery that...
This morning I ran across this article and had a āwell duhā moment. Still a bit entertaining to see the other 4, very debatable, selections. The article tends to quote others in itās findings. For instance, quoting Forbes:
