Tow hooks would be cool, too.

Maybe they just put that on there so they wouldn’t get the seats dirty? 🤷‍♂️

LED lights might be more expensive upfront, but they consume way less energy and produce less heat than incandescent bulbs. The upgrades just look like a chunkier design, but must have more lumens or a nicer housing or something. The upgraded DRLs don’t even have a price yet. The animated ones...

The ICCU thing is real, especially in regard to the Hyundai Ioniq 5. They keep trying to figure it out, but just extended the warranty on the ICCU to 8 years, I think. Rivian has had issues with the 12V battery in the R1T and R1S. They keep replacing them when the warning light comes on. No...

This is still a preproduction vehicle, right?

Same. It’s the plastic from the interior off-gassing. I prefer my vehicles to smell like nothing and/or clean. Not too astringent, just clean.

Ah, my Aunt and Uncle are from there.

Washington, PA?

I love Pittsburgh. That was our closest “big” city back when I lived in Wheeling, WV. I loved going to the Strip District back in the day. Eide’s music, video, and comic book store was amazing. I think both our metro areas are above 2 million people. Not as big as Detroit or Chicago, but…...

Depends on demand and how fast they can ramp up. It’s possible.

Is this why manual transmission get better gas mileage?

I “drove” a semi-electric stacker at Kroger. I was 18 or 19 at the time. The stacker was falling apart and you had to kick the circuits together to get it to move. I got the throttle positions mixed up, kicked the circuits together and it started rolling toward me. I jumped out of the way and it...

I’ve never driven a manual, but I’m currently leasing a Model 3. When I first got it I noticed the regen braking right away. Within a few days to maybe a week it was second nature. Unfortunately through updates I think they’ve turned the regen braking down, so the vehicle coasts more. I don’t...

Great pics. When did they change wrap suppliers? Are the colors really the same, just a different supplier? You would think a different company would have different shades due to licensing and whatnot.

Yeah, my wife and I are going to have to drive to Detroit sometime in the Fall. It’s 3 hours one way from Columbus, Ohio and we’ll definitely stay overnight. It’s best to look for other stuff to do while you’re there, which shouldn’t be hard since it’s Chicago. I’m not sure about Detroit...

Yep, that too. I think there are also people who reserve everything they can even though they have no intention to buy because it’s fully refundable. The $300 isn’t. I decided to go for it.

Turo is like Air BNB for cars. People can set any price they want. It’s just that particular person asking that much.

Actually the cheapest R2 is the R2 Standard RWD for $44,990 and the cheapest Slate is the Blank Slate, so 1.8 Slates.

Haha. Yeah, it was a terrible car. I had to share it with my brother. My Dad bought us a used one in the 90’s, so I could get back and forth to college and work. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

Great info. Thanks. Cute dachshund hood ornament. Is it 3D printed? If so they do have metallic filament out there. What about the Cargo Kit info from last week was inaccurate? I’m very interested in getting it down the road, but not if I can’t access the cargo area/bed from the cabin (think...
