If you're plugged in (and charging is not set for some specific time), then essentially all the power that's being used is coming from the grid. Granted, it is depleting battery, but as soon as it does (by as little as 1%), the charger kicks back on to restore it. You can set the desired cabin...

If any of y'all are thinking this isn't "enough" or doesn't provide a big enough target...You could always augment it with a length of railroad track (nicely beveled on the ends, of course). Around here, railroad track goes for$25/foot. It weighs 25# per foot.

I don't think this one would ever happen...too much potential for mayhem to have something automatically close a door. For that matter, my doors face north and (in winter) I don't want them to be open any more than necessary, and I sometimes futz around inside the truck before I'm ready to...

A second "Home" location (for the proximity locking preference etc). My workshop is 3 miles from the house. I park outside one of the (usually open) overhead doors when I'm there. Constant locking and unlocking is annoying. Having to remember to unlatch a gear tunnel door (and then remember to...

Isn't there something out there where Elon claimed "near infinite towing capability"? Does that mean that my R1T has near infinite towing capability? I kinda always thought that 11,000 lbs was a long way from infinity. I guess not in Elon's world.

Ghost bikes are not necessarily located where someone actually "bought the farm". They move them around quite a bit...at least in Kerrville & vicinity.

You sound like one of those people who makes a living selling subscriptions that automatically renew and are not cancellable or refundable once it happens. Considering that it CAN be turned on and off, it was dumb for Rivian to release it in a state where the default is "On". There's no danger...

Yeah, I'm aware that there's a flashlight in the door (and use it regularly), but it's nice to have both hands to get the trailer latched on and I'd rather not hold it in my teeth (much less wrap my lips around it).

When my daughter and her fiance moved from San Antonio to Peoria, IL for their medical residencies they had two apartments worth of stuff plus some inherited furniture (they bought a house up there). The house needed some work, and I was the one that was gonna do it. We rented a 26' Penske box...

I wasn't right on his tail, and we were doing about 40 mph, so I'm thinking the distance "allowed" was greater than if it had been highway speeds, but frankly, I got on the brake pretty fast. Would it have driven me right into the back of the car in front? Likely not, but a disconcerting...

Now that we've resolved that...I just want the backup lights to stay on long enough to hook up the trailer and plug in the lights in the dark.

I see an opportunity for an aftermarket item here... There's a YouTube video out there about some Brit who got really tired of having his work van broken into and his tools stolen. He installed (and now sells) some really really high voltage zapper (think electric cattle fence on steroids) with...

I'm pretty sure that what happened to you was that you engaged the the cruise control (by pushing down on the stalk) and your Rivian responded by attempting to accelerate to the posted speed limit (or what it thought it was). Some brainiac put this into (I think) the last OTA update, and I'm...

no...what I wrote said 23 1/10 CENTS per mile. What is your point about the price in southeast MA? Electric rates vary across the country. Presumably the EA rates should vary as well. You seem to have an issue with decimals, as I'm pretty sure that you meant to write that you are paying 30...

I call BS on them sampling a wolf and two sticks to make the blinker noise...it is clearly the sound of a fingernail tapping on the bottom of an empty (Red) Solo Cup. As for not using the blinker because you don't like the noise, you would be right at home in San Antonio...if you see someone...

Works fine for me. In over 7k miles, the only rear seat occupant (ever) has been my Great Pyrenees, so I don't need more "indoors" in the form of an R1S...but... I haul "stuff" like what you describe the same way that you would in your R1S---on a trailer. I doubt that my range under load is any...

Nice writeup. It does, however, pain me to run the following calculations: If every charge had been at an EA at the current price of $.48/kwh, then you would have spent $2,051.18 for "fuel" for the trip...or 23.10 cents per mile. This does not compare favorably to any gas that costs under...

Apart and aside from managing to make his truck look like a dog fixing to drag its butt across the grass...it pains me to see people abusing tools. This is akin to using a micrometer as a hammer. I've hauled this exact load home with my Rivian...properly loaded on a trailer that weighed in at...

I just missed this ability...with a November expiration, I cannot renew until after Sept 1

There's one of these nearby (in Boerne). From what I've read in the forums, the Sonic chargers are perpetually ICE-holed by Sonic employees who refuse to move. https://chargedevs.com/newswire/sonic-drive-in-tests-ev-charging-stations-solar-panels/
