Holy crap! I checked out the Electrafi website. They seem to collect an incredible amount of very interesting info on the vehicles. My curiosity wants me to sign up, but my privacy concerns have me a little reluctant.

Interesting. I never thought about the redundancy of that latch, under normal circumstances. I can’t imagine a scenario where I would be driving with the tonneau on and the tailgate down. However, one might have a need to leave one of the panels out, moving the whole assembly forward, latching...

My VD has been pretty consistent at 1.5-2+/- kWh per 24 hours. I reset my trip meter to zero every evening. Its aways shows 1 kWh used by the next morning. If it sits until the afternoon, it’s usually at 2 kWH. I figure it rounds up to the next kWh after it passes .5 KWh. So, if it is showing 2...

No, I don’t use electrafi.com. Maybe I should.

I love the fob and it is always in my pocket. No need to always have the darn phone. I have very little problem selecting the lock/unlock buttons while in my pocket, as some seem to have. I’ve just gotten used to it. As others have noted, if one can’t feel the buttons, put a dab of super glue...

Hey. You guys/gals are making me nervous with this battery stuff. My R1T has a 7/23 build date, delivered 9/12/23. Going into winter, I don’t need a bricked rig ?

I like to drive, especially in my R1T! I have no desire to be chauffeured around by a self driving vehicle. I get a certain joy out of being involved with the ride. If all one wanted to do was get from point A to point B, with no effort, then I guess self driving might be a thing. Obviously...

Yup, my owl flew the coop. I miss my owl ? It was so much easier to hear and just way cooler than the chirp.

I will do a 5 tire rotation requiring only one corner to be lifted at a time. Would still like to have a jack stand under there, somewhere, just in case.

This is why I removed my camp speaker from the truck. Didn’t have any use for it anyway.

So, I always wondered why Rivian seemed to have gone out of their way to eliminate 12v outlets. They got rid of initial frunk outlet, have no 12v outlet in the cabin, no 12v outlet in the bed, and only one in the gear tunnel. Now, it’s starting to make sense. I’m guessing this all has to do with...

I assuming those are 20” wheels. Where did you get the wheels and how much did that setup cost, per wheel, including sensors?

I did an experiment today, after a fairly cold night with temps in the 30’s. The T had been outside, plugged in all night, buy not charging. The motor temps were very low - probably around 50 degrees. The HV battery was sitting at 47 degrees. My battery percentage was at 47%. I manually set it...

From one of my all-time favorite movies ?

If these batteries are failing from too many recharge cycles, why aren’t they using deep cycle batteries designed for this sort of abuse?

I was hoping that, when plugged in, the vehicle could determine when to suck some juice, depending on certain system needs. However, just plugging it in may not do anything, if it’s not part of a specific charging schedule. Dunno.

Less than $0.07 Per kWh, unless I charge during on peak hours (8am-10pm) in the summer. This is a time of use plan. Gotta love NV Energy.

Daniel - Actually, I was really wondering if anything was happening, with relation to the HV battery, when the vehicle is plugged in, but NOT in a scheduled charging situation. I understand what you are saying regarding keeping the HV battery at a set percentage of charge.

If the vehicle is pugged in, but not actively charging, does plugging it in really do anything? Or, does the vehicle take advantage of the onshore power to maintain systems in the background, without charging? Always wondered about this. I don’t typically plug in, unless I plan on charging...

Well, darn. UPS tracking indicated my adaptor was out for delivery ? Sure enough, the UPS truck just showed up in my driveway. I went out to meet the guy. He was in the back of the van searching for it and searching for it and searching for it. Turns out it is MIA ? Jeez, all that wait and it...
