    VW investing up to 5 billion in Rivian.. per NY Times

    As an R1T owner, I am not surprised by another company that is buying Rivian's software. It's the best software out of any car I've ever had. I like it better than Tesla's, it's far superior to BMW's, and Audi's is hot garbage so it's smart for VW to throw relatively small dollars into Rivian...

    Houston SC Gravity Photos June 2024

    The front end is polarizing, but you get used to it. For me, it's a foil to the current trend of hyper-aggressive vehicle designs. I tend to gravitate towards atypical designs in the greater market, and the same goes for colors. The Wagoneer S looks interesting, and I will be test-driving one...

    Lightly-used EQS is now less expensive than a new Model 3 LR

    If the inside didn't look like an 80's Gentleman's Club, that car might be an option. We test-drove one when we were looking for my wife's last car, which wound up being the M50, and I thought I got trapped inside of 2001 a Space Odyssey. The concept Buick Wildcat was an example of a pleasant...

    I think the R2 will take a big chunk of the buyers looking for an SUV like that. Lucid probably will as well, and Tesla would probably lose sales.

    I don't get the minivan; I'd say a cross between a bullet train and a station wagon. The hood is all wrong for a mini van.

    It could be like the Air, probably, where you have a single motor version for 80 and you can go up to 150 for the GT models. The question would be what sort of car do you get for what price, and I'm almost certain of the 100K mark. It's just a question of how high of a trim do you get for that...

    That is a great looking vehicle, really sporty and what I was looking for. I am interested in seeing specs and pricing being released.

    Lucid V BMW

    Waiting for the Gravity. The M50 is the wife's car, I have an R1T so I need something to replace that.

    Lucid V BMW

    My M50 has been flawless, but it has 3K miles on it. I would expect more out of a Lucid, as it costs much more. My M50 has just about every option BMW offers and custom purple paint, and it was topped out at 84K. The Lucid is more than that if you're getting the touring. So I'd expect more...

    Look, another Edmunds hit piece!

    It was a fair video. Yes, they said they would not buy an Air again, but their whole thing is based on THAT particular car. They can only go by the car they have, not on what other cars may or may not be quality-wise. They acknowledged that the software got much better, complimented the range...

    Planning trip from Chicago to Aldie Virginia

    I did the exact same thing when I first started and will with any new EV. I need to gain that confidence that the percentage is accurate for the distance given and it won't suddenly drop 10% for no reason when I'm too far from the charger I left to get back to it and not far enough to get to...

    ICE vs. BEV

    Being an EV-only household, I often wonder the same thing. EVs are better in almost every way, and the one way they aren't is almost a nonfactor already. Chargers are coming online daily, and some EVs' charging speeds are more than fast enough. Especially those on 800V architecture. As...

    Lucid Love

    I wish I could say that I don't believe someone is throwing that big of a tantrum over jealousy of someone else's possessions, but I've been there many times. I've gotten a little salt with my Rivian too, the first day I got it some guy in a big jacked up diesel truck stopped me in a parking...

    Lucid Love

    I too am surprised that there are people who feel the Air is too big when I'm waiting for the Gravity because the Air isn't big enough.

    Apple’s fancy new CarPlay will only work wirelessly

    For all the people who don't see the advantage to a manufacturer offering carplay 2.0, you're right there is no advantage to a manufacturer. Who said Apple would be giving them a choice? Apple may decide that all Carplay is now 2.0. When else did Apple ever continue to ship new products with...

    Lucid Love

    If you love the car, who cares what your friends think? Your BMW, a well-respected brand, was returned because it was garbage. A lousy car can happen to any manufacturer, and I have a vehicle from Rivian, a different startup, that's been the best vehicle I've ever owned, hands down. I trust...

    Some Basic SSP Questions...

    I am not an audiophile so I could be completely wrong but I think the flattening you guys are referring to is compression that's caused by lower quality data files. The peaks and troughs are smoothed out the lower the audio quality. Full quality files experience more sound range so the highs...

    Fisker Q4 report: ‘Substantial doubt’ it can continue, seeks investment from ‘large automaker’

    It sucked for those who purchased one long before this bankruptcy. The reviews i've seen for the Ocean were abysmal.

    Lucid Air Touring v Porsche Taycan

    Today I learned that Sandy Munroe is a drunk, although I shouldn't have been surprised as one look at the guy's skin you can see his liver is about to melt away. Rivian owners aren't his biggest fans either as his recommendations to Rivian reduced some quality features.
