Because there is no official way to run an extension cord out of the R1S and being able to lock and secure the vehicle.
The only way to do it is by Jerry rigging and routing the extension cord through seals that can wear down or through a window that must remain open.
If Rivian just spent 5...
It's the same thing with the r1t, zoom i to photo you will see i had to add a 7 inch extender.
Yeah towing is fine because its just a long tough that goes in, but hitch accessories are useless with this design!
Here is one more thing.
Anyone annoyed as to how tucked in the hitch is??
I've had to purchase a hitch extender just so I can put on my 1up bicycle rack, and same thing for my moto rack.
Why the heck make it so deep??? There is still plenty of space between the hitch cover and the actual...
I don't sleep alone like you do, so she wants the tent to be nice and warm.
And u say day and place, I'll happily smoke you on whatever gas dirt bike u got ?
I'll be at the biltwell 100, so show up buddy.
I never used the word retrofit, so yall putting words on my mouth that I didn't use.
What i did say is rivian can/should and we wont stop asking for them to design and make a solution so the current r1's can all do v2l, whether via a dongle or whatever it needs to be. It is possible, without...
Rivians teslas lucids they all only exist because of "first world" hardship.
Otherwise we would be talking only about horses and saddles.
So yep, you just proved the point of why that is exactly why these expectations exist. ?
All I can continue to say, for them being heavily advertised as "ADVENTURE" vehicles, and they even CARV the Adventurous for ever on the panel wood, their on board power outlets are the weakest of all EV trucks in the industry.
And they should take responsibility and fix it, for everyone who...
Not officially it cant, only Jerry rigged.
240v to fast charge my stark varg, 240v to charge another ev in distress, 240v to run a portable AC/heater while camping, etc etc etc. And yeah if you brake a tie rod while off roading, so you can weld it back up and be able to drive home.
It's a...
So that's the Jerry rigged method right, ok thanks for posting.
Another thought was to run it out the back passenger window and painters blue tape up the gap at the top of the window.
Running through the rear tail gate like that could potentially wear out the seals that prevent water coming...
I really don't know what Rivian owner wouldn't want this.
If you own an R1S, as I do, and you go camping, as I do, and you want to run an extension cord to your tent, well unless you leave a window or door open...good luck.
There is no way to fully secure your vehicle while camping and...
So did you install them? How do you like them?
I considered the GOAT ones but these have additional contact points to the frame and also the metal shields to replace the plastics. So, in my opinion, they seems to provide further protection than the GOAT ones.
I ordered mine and should get...
I know exactly which part that is, that is after the 180 degree turn to the right. I did a 3 wheel titter tot there, and then the Quad just figured everything out and launched forward, it lifted the whole front up, I couldn't see the horizon, but it just when right up it.
I did Oriflamme in December, OMG it was so run down by the last few year rains, nothing how I remember it, I first did it on my modified Chevy Avalanche, and did it like 5 or 6 times, and it was a nice intromediate trail. Now its a full on Medium+ level because of all the ruts and taller rocks...
It's at Superstition Mountain next to the Salton sea near El Centro, CA
I saw full size wranglers going up that thing like nobody's business just slowly rolling up, no fuss, no slipping, no dust even! and those have a longer wheelbase than the R1S...even the bronco went up it....actually a 2005...
would be fun to join up in an adventure to Utah! would like taking it there. I'm planning a trip to the Artic Ocean, yeah inspired by the trip that pair of Cybertrucks did late last year. And since now they have level 2 chargers out in the boonies, its a lot more convenient. :-D
And we have the...
