Here's a few pics. No time to get the R1T into the workshop, but here's a quick height comparison. I don't know how much the suspension will droop when lifted. This is in Low height setting. Looks like the combined height of the JackPoint jack stands, the grip and the jackpucks (these are the...

yep. need to see these on a vehicle in the right color with K02s as for design, it's the classic 7 spoke pair "mesh" design … famously "perfect" on everything from Le Mans cars to Porsche 911s. The wide face on the rim is presumably a combination of aero and off-road tough. I'd suggest having...

I bought the rubber caps yesterday and also had shipping added. fwiw. I've been using JackPoint jack stands for ages. They became popular for all kinds of cars that have specific lifting points. They make different caps for different vehicles. I have a flat top "cap" that works with Teslas...

OK, I'll take a set of those. What I remember from a similar product for other vehicles is there should be some "slip before tip" … the jack and the vehicle should move separately so that the jack is not forced to tip rather than slip its position in contact with the vehicle. For a bottle jack...

Two thumbs up for publishing the STL so that others can print or modify.

I think that's the gist of it. Some people are not attuned to some types of NVH. I think it's a design fault. Rivian seems to think so too because they're trying to fix it with updated parts, they're not debugging beyond simple QA (to be sure the assembly is correct and complete.). The three...

I could imagine a time in the near future when aliens visit this planet for the third time. They declare "We first visited when you had Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and we found you to be a good species of culture and potential. We visited a second time when you had The Smiths, The Beatles...

5th graders? How about licensed stock market traders who think a stock is "cheap" after it splits 2 for 1 so they start buying it? Don't even try to convince drunk college kids that one large 18 inch pizza is larger than two medium 12 inch pizzas … : )

That's the Subway "Footlong" suit. Unlike the "2x4" lumber suit.

You could cut that list in half and have a very solid lifetime of pop music.

The game of charging: 1. plug in and start charging. wait for charging to come up to 11kW (or whatever you normally get.) 2. after a bit of thinking, the R1T will report the time it needs to reach the desired state of charge. 3. note that duration, subtract from desired departure time, set...

Not for R1, not "entire lineup" … wouldn't that site get just as many clicks without embellishing "LFP pack and new Enduro motor in the 500 and 700"? EV sites are starved for actual Rivian communication, so they have to scrounge Scaringe tweets. Another advantage of LFP is L2X (aka...

This vid? Doug wasn't showing any apparent skill or prowess. He's owned a lot of expensive and "best" off-road vehicles, but he seemed to be wanting to put the R1T crossed up and compel it to figure out the traction, which is fine, it would give up no information to pick a clean line and roll...

The quad motor can change its torque output much faster than ABS can cycle to absorb power. The energy absorbed by the brake is the differential of the power going to ground across that axle … it's not a trivial waste. With sustained operation, the brakes heat up. The quad can simulate three...

RJ said their dual motor doesn't have diff locks. So traction control will be the primitive brake system … the motors put out power and the brakes resist the power … which is why the quad motor is far superior. Diff locks break axles in the extreme, especially with a lot of torque and a lot of...

The Max Pack was meant to be 185kWh, Large being 135kWh. Available capacity has increased a few percent and range has increased, but in terms of expectations initially, range was 314 miles. The Max Pack expectation math is 185 / 135 * 314 = 430 miles. The '23 EPA range of a quad large R1T is 328...

RAM REV XR announced today … 229 kWh with 500 miles' range, plus a range extender (no specifications or details.) Due "soon after late 2024" (whatever that means.) I imagine it's going to be a heavy one, complex and expensive, but if you really need an EV to tow and don't mind the, what $120K...

I'd say BFG K02. The perfect all-rounder. For something more aggressive off-road, excellent in sand and excellent for on-road noise and comfort, Patagonia MT-02 or for better all-round Patagonia XT. The MT is quite amazing and still quiet on-road (noise means inefficiency, rolling resistance and...

the key fob must use both BLE and RFID

The Ford BlueCruise is marvelous for freeways and handles a lot of secondary roads well. It parks itself under difficult conditions and the cameras make it easy to move in close quarters. The one thing about BlueCruise is how it will casually disarm with a quiet "bong" … if you're at 80 mph on...
