Sure Al,

You can put the drive clog into the block if that's easier for you.

If you get stuck PM me. I made a cell phone video in case I ever need to do this again.

Hi Jim,

I would certainly consider a Rivian if I was looking at a pickup. Cybertruck is too Fugly for my liking.

Please do post your experiences if/when once you get one. We are all learning a ...

Tesla Superchargers use up to 480 volts and can pump up to 300 amps, delivering charging speeds no home charger option can match.

Thanks for the update.

Not at all interested in a Tesla - hoping to snag a Rivian R1T in the next year or so.

I love the looks of Rivian.

They are also rolling out an impressive charging netw ...

Hi Grunter
