I really want to be able to use some voice control to play music or podcasts etc. Tesla has really great voice integration, even 10 year old ones properly respond to voice commands "play pink floyd dark side of the moon", if its in their catalog. I have a music subscription, google music, I wish...

IAt https://rivian.com/r1t#compare I could see the quad but it strangely says r1t quad 'coming soon' and mentions of max. Either price unknown or they are making a model change.

Since these supercharger sites take a year plus with site survey, contract with owner, state regulatory permission, and especially electrical supply lined up with the power company we don't know the impact yet. In a year we'll have an idea. I agree it surprisingly doesn't seem to have hurt that...

I feel kind of stuck wanting to start investing into this area. I almost bought a couple of powerwalls for my house. But I want to have the ability to add solar later, and also v2x with my rivian and whatever vehicle I own in the future. Even if you discount support for rivian, there are so many...

That's disappointing. I really wanted details to come out this year.

I've only tripped mine once, and I kind of did it on purpose. I knew with the (inefficient old thermistor (is that the word)) heater running and the electric stove plus my car at 48 amps it would be a kind of max load. I wanted to see if it would die and then I could recover it. I read about...

Can I ask how you measure usage? I don't have a way, the generac I use doesn't appear to have a way to monitor it. I have the app, basically it says is it sitting there or not.

Do your tenants have gas heating and/or gas water heaters? I think less than 22kwh will also power my whole house. At the house I have a gas stove and gas heater but heatpump water heaters. At my cabin there's unreliable electricity - it goes out a few days to a week at least once a year. That...

Rivian said they will have a 22kw DC output from their existing vehicles and new vehicles too, so a DC output through the charge port with an inverter and whole house switch. It's just they haven't put it out there with any details.

I am at the point of wanting to start adding solar, battery storage, updating my panel. Since I have a Rivian I want to make it work with all this future stuff, but Rivian hasn't said much about what they are going to do in practice other than support it. And the standards are not ready yet as...

When I tripped the breaker I just turned off a few things running and reset the breaker and started the generator. That was a success in my eyes. Yes, I know a smart panel would be a bigger improvements. Going step by step can be useful too.

They will just give ideas to Trump and he will tweet about them. I think they don't need any congressional approval to go that way. T does have the ability to make a lot of changes through presidential rule making.

I think it can be done for less than that but it won't be cheap. I have a cabin, I bought a generac 22kw generator from costco, it came with the switch for the whole house on/off grid power. It has auto startup and auto shutdown when the power comes back. So when Rivian gets out their promised...

Which (garmin?) watch worked on gen 1 with bluetooth? Was there a garmin watch app that worked with bluetooth? I am a dev, I could hack someone else's app probably if it was on github (I found some things yesterday but they seemed focused on teslas). I'd need instructions like how to get my...

I think the apple watch as a key works on Tesla's using ultra wide band/uwb, is that correct? (partly explaining why it won't work with older ones). I think rivian gen 1 doesn't have a uwb chip. My garmin doesn't have uwb as far as I can tell. Gen 2 does have uwb. So for rivian, we'd need nfc...
