Why is it useless for roadtrips and what is your overall opinion of the Rivian?

---

because the fast chargers for Rivians are hard to find. So lets say we ARE able to make it to Baton Rouge on a single charge (not possible) then what... we leave it over night to charge in a random parking lot and take an Uber to our hotel? Would you leave a vehicle overnight in a public lot in Baton Rouge?

We just dropped our kid off at OU from Houston this week. We would have had to stop and wait for a charge at LEAST once. Maybe twice. It was already a 7 hour trip, who wants to add a few more hours to that for charging breaks?

This is true of any electric vehicle, not just the Riv. They are good city cars but range anxiety is real.

We've had some frustrations with it. The service center is like an hour outside of Houston, so getting problems fixed can be a problem. Recently the car kept randomly calling 911 because the SOS button was alerting the call center and they couldn't get ahold of us and the cops showed up at our house in the middle of the night. It got so bad it was calling SOS every two seconds, even when the vehicle wasn't on. It had to be towed because the emergency alert stayed triggered the entire time and covered up the display.

Selling it within the year for a good old fashioned combustion engine.

Confas is also a Jew... so Cambridge probably already had him on a list somewhere anyways.

Friend of my oldest son lives in North Carolina and walked out onto his front porch and landed on a copperhead. He spent three days in the hospital and said it was the worst thing he's ever experienced.

there were two very big copperheads on my parents front porch a few years back, my dad killed them both because my kids were up visiting and he didn't want anything to happen to them. duh. But now my mom makes him "relocate them"... I still think he might be killing them.

My foot landed about two inches from a juvenile water moccasin a few months ago in Galveston. It was about a foot long and had a green tail still. I was in flip flops. I see water moccasins all the time down there. I also saw a HUGE rattlesnake in the dunes once. It was as fatter than a bicycle tire. I was in my car leaving the beach at the time, so was fascinated more than scared by it. Also a neighbor down in Gtown lost their dog to a rattle snake bite this year. A big lab was running alongside their golf cart and I guess stepped on a snake in the grass next to the road. The property has dozens of Peacocks on it, apparently kept because they eat venomous snakes.

Ive seen Texas coral snakes in Memorial Park on three occasions. Once my dog was off leash on the trails and stepped all over the top of one in the middle of the trail. It didn't do anything.. slithered off.

So one person and one neighbor dog. Several close calls.

so a muslim guy is going to walk into a BBQ shop, full of pork products, and order a lamb sandwich that was grilled on the same equipment as a giant slab of pork belly and that counts as "Hallal"??

If Hallal is anything like "Kosher" then they would have to have separate kitchens, utensils, and dining areas.

Will it cover transition surgeries for illegals and children? That’s all I really can hope for

What if this entire time all the fed has to do is say that votes have to be turned in by midnight? It’s on them to figure how that happens. If Cali doesn’t have votes in by deadline they don’t get counted.

Is Al Sharpton on a plane on the way over as we speak?

I hope these new modern “women” get full locker room privileges.

When the IRGC folds in 2028, Gavin Newsome will be the first to take credit.

I imagine extended power outages suck

---

My husband has a Rivian and the storage is awesome because there is a frunk and a trunk. But it’s useless for roadtrips.

Regarding the power outages.. it’s actually a bonus because we can use its battery as a mini-generator to run small appliances from inside the garage. It’s good for a few days of. Lamps/fans/iphones. We also have other cars so we aren’t worried about it running down to zero.

Regarding cost to charge: I did quick math on it once deciding who’s car we should take down to Galveston on the weekend. And at 13.5/kwh it costs about $12 to go in the Electric car and about $25 to make the trip in my giant guzzler Lexus that only takes premium gas. So not free but some savings.

So, we can save America with bigotry and hate

Its called discernment. A very powerful mental ability that a shocking number of Americans lack.
