    Model 3 Rocker panel dent repair

    Yes repair. Likely over 8k$ PDR won’t be a thing here, unless light money on fire is fun? Send to body shop or ignore it. Insurance will likely cover this.

    Model Y Competition: Rivian R2 Price & Specs Leaked! -- $47500, 0-60 3 Sec, 330 Miles Range

    My response to this would violate forum rules and I don’t feel like being banned for the garbage that is riv.

    Cybertruck towing Airstream

    It fails charging so often it’s a chore to live with. 2-2.5mi/kWh - not towing. On the oe street tires. 1:1 while towing, like the Hummer/CT/X/R1S&T

    Snippiness 2.0

    I’m not defending anything. I find it entertaining the asked questions couldn’t be addressed. Seems this thread is against many forum rules, turned into bashing other forum members and painting with broad brush strokes.

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    404: cosplay not found. Did we forget about the F150/Tundra wraps on the preRC CTs? Question: is it tiring being sad/mad/hurt over what vehicles are manufactured? Or is it thinking that concept cars are supposed to 100% match released vehicles? Genuinely curious.

    Model Y Competition: Rivian R2 Price & Specs Leaked! -- $47500, 0-60 3 Sec, 330 Miles Range

    If you’re thinking of owning a rivian…. This is the /LEAST/ dumb reason/decision. The truth is starting to come out as more prior EV (or luxury) owners are willing to speak up and not worry about the endless barrage from the “love rivian at all costs” crew.

    Porsche did this on the gen1 Taycan, gen2 back down to 1. They didn’t try to play games on the EV Macan- left rear.

    It’s already there. Many posters here talk about moving the chargeport being an issue with their home charging. Tesla is looking into it and another company as well. Tesla’s official docs say to block as many spaces as needed and no more than that.

    Model Y Competition: Rivian R2 Price & Specs Leaked! -- $47500, 0-60 3 Sec, 330 Miles Range

    Look to old fiskar karma and the few shops that took on fixing the problems with the hvac/DU/HV. How does riv go from losing ~33k per vehicle sold, to more R&D (DU, HV packs) for the R1, to ‘here comes an R2&3&3x’? Seems like the interest free loan from preorders would have to be YUGE.

    Model Y Competition: Rivian R2 Price & Specs Leaked! -- $47500, 0-60 3 Sec, 330 Miles Range

    You become an orphan and pray that the walled garden of parts/service tools are avail. Or you pray that people(person) who have rebuilt the vehicles without the company’s blessing, are willing to help the masses. Their service mode leaves much to be desired, it’s a glorified set of gauges.

    Model Y Competition: Rivian R2 Price & Specs Leaked! -- $47500, 0-60 3 Sec, 330 Miles Range

    The WT gets 2:1. Rivian (R1S) is roughly the same. CT is also roughly the same. Comparing the current X to them, is like adding in the 3/Y, it muddies the data with cars vs trucks. Brick walls vs water drops. all it took to stop my f150L purchase was crash photos. Front Passenger tends to be...

    Has anyone with Tesla underlayment had this issue? Those with Firestone underlayment, how much of a fight was the replacement? When it was replaced, did they reinstall your old active tiles or did they swap to the new tiles without glass inactive tiles?

    Yes. Damage exceeds value. If one has to ask: An insurance adjuster is best suited to answer.

    Add your acct as an authorized driver, drive to supercharger under your phone key/key tied to your driver profile, charge. This is how it seems to work with rental model 3s.

    It is absolutely a ‘flex’ truck. Many of his points are valid. Many could be said of each of the available competing EV trucks. The WT rides bad when unloaded, unibody with subframes.

    A weigh safe hitch will be invaluable when it comes to setting proper tongue weight @ 10-15% of total trailer weight. A prodigy controller will be great compared to the Bluetooth curt. As you’ll have more granular control over the trailer’s brakes than the Bluetooth offering. Plan for no...

    Honest review of the Cybertruck

    1. Same could be said for the R1 & F150L platform owners. 2. The HEV/chev trucks have how large of a pack? They weigh how much? Their consumption is ~2.5mi/kWh unloaded (I’ve had a few of them) and when towing we still get typical 1.4-1:1 (mi/kWh). R1 platform in all purpose mode (all drive...
