    I was talking about this today with a friend and he said "electric plane yet they limit the size of a battery I can bring in my luggage. Why is it safe for them and not for me?"

    I said they also limit the amount of jet fuel you can bring and that there's a difference between a manufacturer installed battery that's inspected by mechanics and one you've stuffed in your luggage with god knows what else.

    As long as it's gone through testing I don't care what goes in a plane to keep it in the air.

    I'd make terrible financial decisions for either of these. I wouldn't care how it was powered either. Too bad a forward control anything won't likely ever happen again.

    Yes? As long as there's redundancy in systems and the range of travel is about 50% of the battery range. And it's properly certificated.

    I’ve been seeing quite a few Rivian trucks on the road lately. I think I’ve seen every color now and the forest green one looks pretty nice.

    Rivian is for once you don’t feel like dealing with mods and just want something simple. Tacoma is for those who want to change everything to make it theirs

    It looks good with the headlights mostly hidden. :)

    Saw an R1T and a R1S on Saturday, about a block apart, and both in the darker green color. Thoughts: R1S generally looks better than the R1T (probably because it looks more like a normal SUV than the R1T does a normal truck), although I still hate the headlights. The R1S is also larger than I'd expected, as it looked longer than a 4th-gen 4Runner it was driving near.

    edit: Also, dark green is just a damn good color. Always was my favorite 1st-gen Tacoma color.
