Oh funny! I think this is the same one I mentioned I saw over the weekend in the Cybertruck thread (1 of 5 that day). Saw it on 78 crossing the PA/NJ border while I was up that way in the Lehigh Valley.

 

They're making their way around!

 

Swerving gentleman in an older Maxima decided to slip into a left turn only lane to try to cut me off at an intersection today. I made sure he was stuck in the intersection when the light turned green.

 

OK, I'm trying to picture this. Was he trying to get around you, using the left lane? Was he ahead of you or behind you?

 

1 left turn lane (green arrow), 1 straight lane at a stop light. I'm front row of the straight lane, he pops out of the straight lane to sit in the left turn lane and is about halfway in the crosswalk. Both lights turns green, he tries to go, but doesn't have space to get in because low and behold, I'm faster. Tesla behind me was also quick on the throttle so he had to stop or crash into the turn lane in the opposing lane. In my rearview, I saw him stuck in the intersection until he was out of sight

 

Got it! Reminds of the other day a guy in a Nissan Rogue driving like it's actually fast. I'm heading for the left turn lane, he's behind me and tries to go around me to the right so he can be in front, but fails miserably (I was driving the Polestar) to pass me. He ended up forcing his way into the left lane almost causing an accident

 

Replacing the tonneau cover and windshield seem like huge PITAs. Hopefully they remedied some of that in the Gen 2 revision. 21K miles out of his stock tires with no rotations seems about right for a truck that heavy. Overall, he seems happy with his R1T

 

I honestly wonder if the stock tires have less tread than the same exact replacement tire

Mitsubishi Galant bought new back in the day barely got 20k miles right to the tread bars on the stock tires.

Replacements lasted until we traded the car in.

VW to invest up to $5B in Rivian for a software and electrical system JV. Market likes the deal - up 36% aftermarket

 

Make that almost 50%!

 

Market less excited by the end of the day Makes sense for some sell off considering how meh the stock has been this year.

In other news, here's the Pikes Peak run

 

My coworker who was holding Rivian sold off after it jumped 50 percent. In other news, last week I sold off half my TSLA and put it straight into Nvidia (bought about $119). I was so happy it jumped to $140. And wouldn't you know it... TSLA went up and Nvidia down 🤣🤣

 

I let other people handle the day trading

 

I generally tend to subscribe to the theories that time in the market beats timing the market, and that you’re better buying companies you believe in at a price you believe in and then hold. To that end I’ve only ever bought and never sold the likes of Apple, Nvidia, Tesla and so on, and it’s served us well enough that I don’t worry about trying to make money off the swings. I do have some Rivian, and again will probably just hold.

 

I buy for the long haul, I don't let day to day swings bother me...too much . I was hoping Nvidia would dip below $100 after the split, but it didn't look like that was happening so I sold about half my TSLA (which I already made my money on) and finally jumped on the Nvidia train. So I'm here for the long haul, rise or sink
