Exciting stuff! I've mentioned this elsewhere but I plan to copy this setup, I think this is roughly my plan - Same REGO battery under the seat DC-DC charger with MPPT also under the seat (I think there's room?) - looking at the RENOGY 12V/24V IP67 50A DC-DC Battery Charger with MPPT ~300W of...

Wish I could find more on how complicated the install/removal is, whether it blocks the outlets/compressor, etc. A good video review would go a long way. It sounds like a good combo with a GFC but not if it's gonna be a huge hassle to remove and get to the spare or to carry bikes etc.

FWIW I had the same "tent over the bed sometimes and the cab other times" dream and I think it would be a hassle in practice. I install my tent with a hoist and leaving the crossbars mounted to the tent makes it super easy. But the roof mounting brackets are narrower than the bed points (and I...

Gemini would be pretty cool, although I'm not sure their orchestrator is up to third party actions yet. I would love to have arbitrary AI chat in the car (I use Copilot voice over bluetooth often and it's great for brainstorming/troubleshooting/light research). But I'd hate to lose reliable...

This is ridiculous. In this announcement gen 1s are getting significant features including the new Google Maps stack and the accessory mode improvement (the latter has been my #1 wishlist feature for almost two years). We recently got the energy app, the new media apps (including chromecast...

The quality control regarding putting the glass and roof in makes Tesla look like QC pros. I don't think there is a piece of glass that was put in correctly on my truck. I spent 5 hours going through and trying to plug all the uneven seams yesterday to deal with the GD wind noise. As with most...

I haven't done Stevens yet but I've camped at both Bachelor and Crystal a couple times each and it worked great. Power hookups are nice so I can leave an electric space heater running and not blow through all my propane while I'm skiing - in a pinch I can also plug the trailer into the Rivian's...

Rivian/Airstream/Berner squad unite!

Tumalo kind of feels like an odd choice given there are already superchargers in Sisters and Bend, and RAN stations in Madras and Crescent. I'd much rather see something in e.g. Burns where it could fill gaps in long road trips and not overlap with superchargers 🤷‍♂️

Hear me out - Gear Tunnel passthrough from the bed? There's probably enough room under the tonneau cover compartment for a small passthrough. Hell, you could even double up with the interior gear tunnel passthrough for a mini-midgate... I don't want to go full Avalanche, but I'd love to be able...

Damn, had missed this. Feels like it's gotta be this one.

I think it's a standard l-track; any l-track accessory should work. e.g. Tie-Down Anchor for Tow-Rax L-Track - Single Stud - 667 lbs Tow-Rax Tie Down Anchors TWSPSSTD. (n.b. - I don't have an R1S and haven't tried this, but my Airstream has a similar L-track rail and they seem universally...

My strong suspicion is that they're running at the razor's edge of what they can hold in memory, and the dashcam may be a big part of what is holding things up. So lots of things are getting paged away that used to be kept in memory. Things slowed down noticably when dashcam was introduced and...
