Rivian starts deliveries next month. Will be interesting to see if they can do it with the semiconductor shortage…

welll i put a deposit to order one atleast. i'll see how i feel when they finally get around to to taking orders and how to pricing falls. will probably look for mid trim (xlt) with longest range (300mile is what theyre shooting for)
my current plug in will be nearing 200k miles in another year and a half , so itll be time to replace it.
i looked at mach e's but the interior was just dated and boring, not looking to spend 100k on a hummer/escalade to put 60k miles a year on

oh, and so i can steal yall hard earned $7500 taxes via rebate

Can’t spell…still knows more than PHD’s/scientists because a talk show host said some stuff…

DK aside…no peer reviewed papers on impacts of proactively terraforming the earth?

Well if you ever come across one, make sure it talks about RATE OF CHANGE (not end state) which is what people are concerned about (but what science deniers always conveniently ignore).

K thanks.

Don't leave us hanging. Tell us why rate of change matters to you and the scientists more than end state.

 

[cardude2000]

What are you about? Please READ what I said:



You need a peer review for a hypothetical question I present you? Will that help you google up an answer? Just think about it! The true deniers are the non-scientists who will not field any questions against their biased dogma. I feel sorry for you Schoolmarm2000. All hat with no cattle...

But wait, the rate of change is on google, so lets throw that in! Tell me what the rate of temperature change vs. the proliferation of the dominate species is for the entire 4.5 billion years of Earth's existence - that is the correct metric, not just how fast it is happening now. Life begets heat; every time entities proliferate unstopped, the Earth heats up until a great extinction occurs. Human population is increasing at breakneck speed, so of course the Earth will heat accordingly. It will happen until extinction, and there will be no stopping it - WE MUST ADAPT not try to change climate back to some perceived glory days...

Honestly, its about conservation. Don't get me wrong, the new Hummer is badass (I may get one), but how the hell is a 1000hp truck sucking a 350kw of juice every night good for the environment? When the batteries lose even a little bit of efficiency you are talking about massive waste. Electricity has a lot more important uses like refrigeration. Society will fail 2 weeks after the grid goes down, and the ones without guns will quickly learn why the other people keep guns...

Correct. LONG TERM adaptation is key and our ability to adapt and create technology to do so will be dependent on slowing rate of change. You’re welcome.

If you don’t have research that’s cool but weak insults/grampa level bold font and prepper site hysteria is boring. We can talk Hummers though…the tech in the hummer is undoubtedly cool!

I wish people WOULD think about it. If they did they’d realize the power plants are much more efficient and emit fewer CO2 than tailpipes. Furthermore they do it OUTSIDE densely populated areas where trees help with cleaning the released pollutants.

Outsourcing the production of power from a dirty inefficient individual internal combustion engine to a “clean” mass production power plant makes sense.

Good point. Proven fact is take all combustion vehicles off the road and it reduces pollution by about 6 to 8 percent. The source is from agriculture. Before we didn't have this large a problem. With other countries that didnt produce as much meat and world overpopulation it's clear.

What does "it definitely will be worth the wait" mean? Sounds like ad copy.

While no official confirmation exists saying this is a Sierra, it (probably) is.

Don't doubt that the developement costs are a big reason for the lifter failures. Today's subsidization of tomorrow's tech leaves buyers in the lurch. Wait till the bill to pay for the grid upgrade lands in your mailbox.

I was really considering going electric on my next ride (2 months ago) and read about the V8's possibly going away by 2030. I am a fan of the EV but am also a long time chevy and mopar fan. My previous ride was a six banger after selling my SS and Jeep Hemi so thought did cross my mind about going electric. But I told my wife, I need to get me my last V8 before they start going away. Dodge has stated their next muscle cars will include EV. I do have a reservation for a mid level Cybertruck. Range is a factor for me but I know they have those super fast charging stations which basically seems similar to a full gas of tank in a big SUV if not less(price wise). I will see when I get the call from Tesla regarding my reservation and see if I pull the trigger. Excited for all the EV's coming out, I like cars and the tech they have so...not committed to any one manufacturer.

The more I contemplate buying a new bucket of bolts the more I consider keeping my 2012 going to the grave. It's reliable, just the right size, will run all day at 80mph with the air running wide open and fill ups take 10 minutes. I really doubt electric will be a viable cross country network in my lifetime anyway and when a comprehensive audit is done will be worse than gas engines for the environment. The only accomplishment will be a couple more multi billionaires going to space.

Fossil fuel engines are about as good as they ever will be now ( minus the lifter issue...) so we are buying for my wife and I this year. No more money will be spent refining Fuel engines. Could be the last great fuel vehicles we own..

In 50 years or less the forum will be guys talking about modding their flux capacitors for mo powah and better range.

Yup, and exchanging computer code to mod their onboard computers

I heard an interesting analysis of this offering (and the legacy manufacturers move to EV in general) this afternoon on CNBC. Specifically to the latest GM announcement, the analyst was saying that the Ford lightning looks to be the leader as it was out first (between GM and Ford) ad should sell really well to more conservative Ford truck customers familiar with the F150 platform, but that GM's approach of building their new EV offerings on standard platforms optimized for EV propulsion, should turn our better later in the decade.

In any case, it looks like both companies are really in for the long haul with EV's. I was thinking about Tesla's market cap and watching the daily EV and Plug In Hybrid announcements, thinking that stock is likely to be in a one way trade as time goes on.

 

[R32driver]

Damn that thing is ugly! Lightning has this thing whooped in the looks department. If the world has to go all electric can the auto manufacturers at least offer something that's not embarrassing to be seen in? If they could make an electric square body or an obs with modern tech and interiors I'd be all over one of those
