It only stands to reason that they would "add back" the regen number to (only) propulsion...after all, it's the "rolling" (whether by gravity or drive train) that is producing the regen...i don't think the "coasting down" of the HVAC fan is regenerating any electricity when the fan shuts off...

It's irrelevant that they chose to build it in a (currently) non-union facility in a heavily unionized blue state. What IS relevant is that there is no way in hell that they even CONSIDERED building it in California.

There is, however, a relevant correlation to the perceived value of the state-provided benefits...beyond climate... all of which cost money. If you subsidize something, you get more of it. Every time. There's a reason your governor called a halt to new medical coverage for illegal aliens, and it...

To be honest, it's not the absolute number that you should look at, it is the ratio (how many per 10,000) Texas is 8.9 California is 47.4 https://usafacts.org/articles/which-states-have-the-highest-and-lowest-rates-of-homelessness/

And as the CA fiscal year draws to a close in June, some of that $12 billion shortfall from the insane things they spend money on has to be made up somehow. "The mission of the CHP is to provide the highest level of Safety, Service, and Security." add to that "Revenue Enhancement" New Mexico...

Extension cords are a bad idea, particularly if you don't know what's going on between the receptacle and your panel. Try to find a way to plug in without one. There is a point of additional resistance created in what you propose...the plug on the charger not going directly into the the wall...

FWIW, my money is on water intrusion into the door.

PRO TIP: For all of you complaining about "too many updates", if you hurry, I'm sure you'll be able to find someone who bought a Fisker who's willing to trade with you (straight up) for any Rivian that's free of body damage.

If you buy the Harbor Freight bottle jack, find a place in the garage where you can spread out some newspapers, then run it up and down a few times to "exercise" it and leave it upside down (preferably when days are warm) for about a week. If the seal leaks (like every hydraulic item I ever...

I have two houses and a shop in different locations. You can only have one "home" (even though I have garage doors programmed in for 6 different electric doors and a gate...3 of those doors and the gate all on the "pop up when near" setting) I hate leaving a door or a gear tunnel door ajar so...

I got the notification yesterday while I was out, so I set it to install an hour later (when I knew I'd be home). I got home earler than that and it asked if I wanted to "install now". I told it to go ahead. Forgot about it until this morning. Went out and it said it had installed, but that...

Come November, I will have had my R1T for 3 years. I drive in San Antonio very regularly. It was six months after I got it before I ever saw another Rivian on the road. More common now, and I'm sure that the San Antonio Service Center (now open) will cause an uptick...that being said, I feel...

R1 going forward First, a few points about my R1T (gen 1): I didn't buy it to save the planet I didn't buy it to save on "fuel" costs I didn't buy it for regular road trips All that being said, my "lifetime" efficiency is about 2.2 mi/khw over 20,000+ miles I can count the number of charges...

READ WHAT IS BEHIND THAT HEADLINE NOW...IT'S NOT THAT AT ALL If you click the ORIGINAL NPR link, it takes you to a DIFFERENT headline on a story that is completely different from what they first posted.

It's NOT the full story. If you read what the article says now (which is 180 degrees OFF of what they originally posted as an "Elon shaming" article that clearly intended to show him as a hypocrite)...it says that Tesla was the ONLY bidder. There is NO WAY that they would have written those...

Of the millions of dollars on behalf of myself and others that I have spent on equipment and consumables over the years, I have never been invited, encouraged, nor felt "entitled" to a tour of the production facilities associated therewith. It's not for lack of curiosity, and, on occasion, I...

R1T Gen 1 here. After last update, I moved the charge limit (onboard) from 80% to 70% and saved it. I then (immediately) went into the app and saw that it was still set to 80% in the app, so I moved that too and saved it. Drove it around and plugged back in with about 64% and it recharged to...

Mine is currently updating (as I write this) so I won't know until later, but have you tried setting it in the app? Oddly, I tried to start the update twice in the app and it failed both times, flashing an on-screen error message on my phone that went away too fast to read (is there a way to...

No it doesn't. It's $200 per year, but they make you pay for the first two years up front. If you total it before the start of year two, you get a refund. They did this with regular inspection stickers on new cars for years, then did away with the inspections altogether (but not the $7.50 fee)...

Here ya' go. Write up a proposal to get them to allow you to have this installed. Make it clear that YOU own it when the time comes to go. 5 kw output, hail & bird problem "displaced" from the Rivian. Added benefit of keeping the Rivian cooler. No connection to their grid (I don't know what...
