The short answer is Rivian doesn't seem currently interested in pursuing "full self driving", and shouldn't be. The Gen1 vehicles use MobileEye licensed solutions and have no in-house AI to speak of. From RJ's statements (and the hardware evidence), Gen2 is/will be running on something much...

For a Hi-Lift style jack, I'd probably recommend something like the BuiltRight MOLLE bed panels - you could rig up a simple mount with something like a Quick Fist clamp (which they sell) or a more custom solution. For a floor jack (I have a Pro Eagle), there are some good Gear Tunnel mount...

Munro just twitched

(Warning: Extreme ballpark math) Under absolutely (farcically) ideal conditions, this would be theoretically slightly slower than L1 charging (e.g. a regular wall outlet). That's what I do at home and it's good for about 30 miles overnight (10-12 hours). In practice, you're probably looking at...

Glad it worked for you! I am definitely extra appreciative of this system right now since I broke my shoulder motorcycling, being able to mount and dismount the tent with one hand is pretty nice :)

I guarantee you it's more expensive to take the approach Rivian is taking (owning the full software stack, first-party development of all the apps customers wants, highly bespoke UI with performant animations etc.). They have whole engineering teams working on this stuff - not just to get it out...

This is like "why CarPlay as an embedded experience in your UI is terrible and lazy" in a single screenshot. It's perfect.

Yeah, this stuff is where I get a little anxious because I get a nominal 1.3-1.4 mi/kWh with my Airstream, and no noticeable range loss with my Condor Overland. I love the idea of a wedge camper as the sweet spot for fast-deploy and bed usability, but if the range hit is closer to my trailer...

Thanks for the writeup @jjswan33! I popped in on Sunday to see the GFC and was impressed. Your pictures are better than mine so I won't bother, but in particular the spoiler and sharkfin clearance were reassuring to me - my biggest concern with a topper like this is keeping the height low and...

@EV Sportline, what are the odds you'd consider a version of this that can fit the 22mm Peak Design ball mount charger? https://www.peakdesign.com/products/ball-mount-adapter?variant=41081509642317 I much prefer that charger style (cleaner look, mates to the case I use more securely, Qi2...

I read this whole story excited to figure out how the pie crust factored in. Damnit.

Cars have radios?

Remember folks: A patent just means "somebody at Rivian had an idea they wanted to protect." It does not mean Rivian is working, will work, or has worked on this. There are a thousand obstacles behind idea and reality, of which technical feasibility and patentability are arguably the most...

Mine popped open all the time. I added a magnet and now it's rock solid. Highly recommended. Just grab a set of these and stick one on: Mousike Magnetic Door Catch Ultra Thin Cabinet Magnets Stainless Steel Drawer Magnet Catch for Sliding Door Closure Kitchen Cabinet Cupboard Closet Closer...

oh god damnit now I have to buy one ?, this is way less janky than my current setup. Does the Pro Eagle mount screw into existing hardpoints or did you have to drill? Edit: Any more (even high level) details on the camp kitchen kit? I am going to leave one side blank for the Pro Eagle, don't...

If you don't want to wait for the Rivian Treehouse, I'd probably go with one of the better in-market options like the iKamper SkyCamp Mini 3 or the Roofnest Condor Overland Mini. They're hard-shelled, come with more features, and (in the case of the Condor) support crossbars and mounted accessories.

To be honest, my takeaway here is that I wouldn't want to do business with either of you. MPP's last two responses were pretty unprofessional to be sure, but they were right that you never responded to confirm, and your communications were pretty brusque and hostile throughout. Treating people...

If Tesla hadn't opened up NACS, the inevitable outcome was that eventually (after a long, bitter standards war) CCS would have won by sheer scale; even with Tesla's huge first mover advantage, they'd never outcompete hundreds of millions of CCS vehicles. That would have taken probably a decade...
