Ken, you are really embarrassing yourself with your demonstrated lack of knowledge and understanding. The Rivian set up - it is exactly opposite
of what you described. The individual motors fix all of the inherant limitations of a single engine power distribution system, without couplings,
linkages, gear boxes, all sorts of complicated breakable stuff. (and we haven't even talked about that ungodly pumpkin hanging down exposed under
your jeep!
|
If this is the case, wouldn't Rivian care to provide this information on the website? Do you have an actual link to verify this? Some sort of source
providing the information that I am "embarrassing myself" in not knowing? |
you did start at Rivian.com - right, clicked around a bit, in the different sections. BTW - if its a rocketship you want - is 0 - 60 in 3
seconds fast enough for you? I mean no way it can keep up with super jeep right - but ai believe that's respectable acceleration - no?

absolutely, how about a trade, I teach you to do real online research to check your opinions and beliefs, and you can show me how to delete a
duplicate post.
You can start by using that new fangled googley thingy to check out rivian.com

The Rivian over priced cracker jack toy super ugly. While the Jeep is proven off road one of the best. Even with all the mods still less money from a
unproven cracker jack toy. Besides since this is a Baja forum it is useless to own here.

Sounds like the test proved that f450 could not win against a much lighter duty, smaller Tesla pickup.
Me thinks you are griping because you are a conservative who suddenly realizes that change is happening, and your elderly mindset is fearful of
change, so your first reaction is anger. Take a deep breath, and let a young person or an agile elder show you how to operate the new features on
newer cars,.... they are designed so even old people like you can learn to use them
Woke!

Ok Boomer. Don’t get your panties in a bunch...
I looked up your video. Your eyes must be failing you (you can get some reading glasses at the 5 and dime), as what I saw was a f450 with FX4 badge
showing it is a 4x4.

If it is 4x4 than it is a pour excuse of a truck. The question is did they put it in 4x4. As I did not see tires spinning.

Not all of baja has incompetent mechanics like in your town. Baja has plenty of smart mechanics that can learn to work on Tesla’s as they roll out
in Mexico market. By the time Tesla cybertruck rolls out, there will superchargers in baja and luddites like you will still be tilting at windmills
Here is an article for you:

turns out the drive trains are far more reliable and less prone to mechanical breakdown that IC engine vehicles. imagine that , many fewer moving
pieces, simpler, ability to monitor health of the system remotely - and predict problems. wow - welcome to the 21st century -

Bingo!
Compared to dirty, smelly IC motor, Electric motors are simpler, have few moving parts, require less maintenance, have longer life.
For bajatrailslug:
Teslas use electric motors that have two moving parts, and single-speed “transmissions” that have no gears. The company says its drivetrain has
about 17 moving parts compared with about 200 in a conventional internal combustion drivetrain.
Woke!

Ok so 500 mile range. if all else fails, 80 - 100% charge in 9 -12 hours on my Honda 6KW 230 V generator. that burns about 1/2 a gallon an hour
based on our last 36 hour blackout. so essentially, i can pull out the generator and get 400 - 500 mile range by charging overnight- or to put it
in dinosaur terms - 100 miles per gallon - in baja. i suspect thats almost as good as all of you internal combustion relics - no?
if only some where , some time in the distant future someone brings electricity to Baja - that would be a game changer!

LUNACY! Buy an EV and then drive it with a fossil fueled generator running to charge the batteries?
