If I’m somewhere with cell reception, usually Internet radio via Apple Music (I like to get the local info), when I’m outside cell reception, or just on a longer solo drive rather than around town, podcasts via bluetooth.

Good to know! I’ll know for sure in 12 days!

I agree! I expected they’d just say no outright, but mobile service is definitely the most attractive option here in rural New Mexico.

I called and asked; I was told it would probably be fine, but not in a particularly convincing manner. So I scheduled a mobile service appointment, and made sure to add a comment to let the technician know ahead of time what the situation is.

If I wanted to schedule mobile service to come do a tire rotation, for example, would it be ok that we only have a gravel driveway? Or packed dirt? The only pavement by us is the highway, but we have a whole lot of packed dirt and gravel in reasonably level areas. I just don't want to waste...

Sure, there are scenarios in which solar panels are of limited effectiveness, but even then they’re still adding charge to the system, and extending the amount of time you can go between recharging the power station from the Rivian or a generator or whatever. This isn’t about building a perfect...

Yes? Exactly? Do you think solar panels can’t also use a longer cord? Plus they have the advantage of not needing to be placed somewhere that’s accessible to a vehicle, in case the garage door isn’t south facing.

Well we know it was near outside, otherwise it wouldn’t have been possible to just leave an extension cord to charge it from the Rivian without having to bother anyone inside…

Yes, but the solar panels can sit there all day and add charge, while the Rivian has to sometimes leave.

Well, that’s disappointing. Just drove into Santa Fe, and it pronounced the ‘j’ in Caja Del Oro like English. It pronounced the ‘I’ ‘Rufina’ like ‘Regina’ (Canadian-style). Worst of all, it pronounced ‘Cerillos’ the same wrong way as every other navigation.

I do, but I am currently in New Mexico (the wheel is still in Baltimore). I’ll be back in Maryland some time in the next couple weeks, but I don’t know exactly when yet. I can let you know when I have a plan

I disabled 1-pedal driving in my Gen 1 R1T Dual today. It worked exactly as you’d expect. Of course it also enabled limp mode, and maxed out my top speed at 50 mph, because it was actually a problem due to me managing to crimp the ODB cable for my Comma, but fortunately a hard reset got...

No, it’s definitely pronounced ‘butt’. I will take no further questions on the matter.

Finally back in New Mexico (just barely, woke up in Amarillo this morning), and so far so good! It’s pronunciation of Santa Rosa sounded more like an English speaker using a Spanish accent, but the stresses were in the right syllables, and it didn’t swallow the ‘t’ (like my Californian accent...

So it… uses standard air filtration parts and turns the fan up?
