I think they changed it last year when they did the brake assist update when cold. Prior to that, battery heaters went on when the pack was below ~50F, after that, battery heaters only went on when you had brake assist enabled. and the battery was below 50F. Not sure about a secondary limit at...

Don't do that, if anyone in is the NYC area, I'd take one for under $200. I can hardly find people selling them for under $400/each. The idea that people might be trying to sell them for $400, and upon getting no takers, selling them for under $100 is sad. Try the forums or something, lots of...

That's kinda my point, if consumer reports decision to include them on a reliability rating has nothing to do with the number of vehicles produced, then it must be that their source data is not representative of the vehicles produced (or have some kind of bias)

Heh, which goes back to error bars, their data is very clearly not even close to related to delivered vehicles. It's either heavily skewed by a few bad early vehicles, a few disgruntled owners, or both. If their methods were valid they wouldn't have to exclude those other brands

Well I have the same comment I had from the last one. I don't necessarily disagree with the Rivian score so much as I want to see the error bars. Consumer reports included error bars long ago, now they deleted them. Further, we see this note at the bottom: This is only for 2022-2025 vehicles...

I think that is in fact the case, the west coast people have issues with overloaded chargers, the middle of america people have issues with not enough chargers, but the east coast, well I-95 has plenty of chargers the whole way, and NY has great chargers everywhere. And we don't have enough EVs...

Yea, like I said, the IRA bill told them to get out of China, the batteries are moving to US production. After watching the Legal Eagle vid on the Tariffs, the plan is to tariffs made in Mexico/Canada stuff? So many of the "American" vehicles are made there. It's going to hurt them a lot more...

I made a 3d printed drawer that's lockable, and also let's you tap the power from the vehicle..... It's not complicated, though I think I might need to refine the tolerances a bit, it's a little tight right now. https://edman007.com/article/Rivian/Lockable-Drawers-for-Rivians

The IRA really signaled to many industries, especially the auto industry, that they need to get the hell out of China. I really think Rivian has a big focus on getting their stuff out of China, and they've been working this for a while now. With the R2 still being a ways away from production, I...

At least for me, I put in a ticket, then they called me, I asked to make it mobile and they said ok. Later Mobile called to give me a time. Nobody ever mentioned pricing before doing the work and I never authorized any number

There is no inventory glut, in fact it's the opposite, they have a parts supply issue and announced they are scaling back production. I think it's highly likely that they start prioritizing more expensive builds due to this.

Rivian, Tesla, EVGo has auto charge which is similar but needs setup. I thought chargepoint did plug and charge.. if not, why does rivian need a chargepoint account linked? I haven't charged at a chargepoint DCFC yet so can't confirm or deny.

It's one or two things. 1. Lawyers putting this in because they heard it somewhere and didn't consult and actual engineer of the vehicle 2. The actual engineers recommended this due to usability. There are serious safety concerns if you do it at high speeds because on an EV shifting between...

I'm pretty sure it's a custom design by Rivian (well owned by them), manufactured by some subcontractor, but as Rivian owns the design, it would be them. If you can send a pic of the label with the FCC and UL numbers I'd can show you the details

I think you just really need a good 250kW+ CCS chargers. This is what I saw once, works out to 196KW average for 16 minutes. I noticed, at least in the summer, superchargers can't do it, you will always get limited by the station in under 15min

The issue is they are capped by CCS at the low end. They'd need to do NACS to boost those numbers. I suspect NACS will therefore get you higher peak speeds. Unfortunately, practically all the NACS stations today are superchargers, and while they can do 250kW (and gen2 native NACS might take...

Nah, I've done 18-55 in 15 minutes at a RAN, onboarding a little over 50kWh, and basically holding 200kW for the full 15min. It really does hold 180kW to about 60%, and under 20% it hits the CCS limits, but 20-55 will generally be over 200kW if you got good temps. When I road trip I usually try...

EPA allows it if it's advertised with that resulting range, they are allowed to stick it for a drive in the on position so long as it auto resets (and I think it does stick on in sport, but likely will auto-revert out of sport for your next drive). The quad however is being advertised with a...

HP is what drives performance. Efficiency is what drives range. There are a LOT of ways to trade off efficency against HP. Those EPA range numbers are for the full cycle, and show that more motors is less range. It's likely that Rivian optimized the dual for efficency (to reduce the cost of the...

Probably, but for different reasons. If the tri is like the dual, and disconnects the rear over ~25mph, and the front is identical between the dual and tri, then it should be no difference, because the highway motor configuration is identical. I do think the dual rear motors in the tri are less...
