In BimmerCode, they ended up taking out a number of features and "expert mode" from their infotainment hacking unit specifically because you could end up making the car unsafe to drive. This isn't theoretical. Most hack/tune programs specifically don't implement / lock out some features for...

So now that I've put my warnings out there about this being a quite bad idea (while Tesla has had some success doing this safely, you can't assume that all internal car systems for all cars are as simple. I've helped create jailbreaks for some tractors for example, and the scary shit that...

Easy to say, but a mod causing the interface between info and vehicle to lock up or clog or whatever or display the wrong info (or just even delay the showing of the correct info) etc would be very very easy for a professional witness to theorize as a potential issue on the insurance side, and...

Not just voiding the warranty, but also taking on substantial liability. If there's a wreck or something goes wrong, and there's absolutely any suspicion that the jailbreak, and/or mods caused it, then all of your insurance companies are going to hang you out to dry and refuse to pay out or...

Just buy a JuiceBox or ChargePoint or any of the dozens of other chargers. Doesn't need to be Rivian branded. Just make sure you have that installed before you get the truck. Otherwise, charging on a wall outlet is a horrible experience. But if you have a charger at home, you don't need...

Less big brother Rivian to me, and more just unrefined software. Only time it annoys me is when the door is open, I've learned in to get something and am resting most of my weight on the car, and it adjusts height. Like, at least pause it when the door is open! But overall it doesn't really...

I have a black one in ABQ, friend has a LG one. I know of a blue one in Los Lunas. My delivery guy said he had delivered quite a few to Taos and a handful to SF. NM discord with a couple of owners, if you want to reach out for a ride or something. https://discord.gg/PGWGbGGJ

Huh, I found Driver+ to hug way too close to the right when in the left lane. Turned it off since on the camera view I could see the passenger side tire kissing the dashed white line. Echo the charger thing. I have had zero issues with EA, but some other chargers gave me issues (reviews show...

That camp chef organizer is fairly nice. I find it too short, so doing prep or anything on it really ends up sucking after a bit, but ymmv. I use water bricks for my water storage. They stack well, and are reasonably sized for carrying around at camp. I can take a 2-4 pack for a weekend...

Base 7.7/kWh, but then there's a fuel surcharge, which is around 4cents more per. Have solar with monthly net metering, so it tabs out ok. Getting out on an EV pilot rate that'll let me do 3.3c/kWh from 10pm-5am as long as I submit proof of registration yearly, and my extra draw is...

The Allsups is a big deal for Southern NM, and will provide good coverage. Northern NM outside of Taos is pretty barren too, but also with nothing planned yet. Rough, since I spend so much time up there.

I didn't get an alert, but when I went into the app, after it was done downloading, in the app there was a little banner for me to touch and then I was able to kick off actually applying to update, and watch the progress, via my phone. But I could only see download % from the vehicle.

Yay! My real-time efficiency graph was always messed up, or just not present. Latest update seems to have fixed that. Looking forward to the preconditioning and other features.

Pulled into a 350kW charger this afternoon with 18% charge. Hooked up, and it ramped straight to 210kW. At about 35% charge, the big fans kicked on, and the charge started tapering down with a warning message about the battery being too hot (was sitting idle before the 5 mile drive to the...

Yea, the roof on my R1T is stupid hot down here in NM. Yesterday, the interior glass was too hot to touch. I know one other owner here grabbed some relfectix and put it up top to stop the sun and heat from beating down. I'll probably grab some type of shade for the top, but also am looking at...

Well, yes. Since Texas is the 2nd most populous state, being #3 in terms of EVs on the road would be punching below their weight. Per Capita, they're also not even in the top 10. https://insurify.com/insights/the-10-states-with-the-highest-percentage-of-hybrid-or-electric-vehicles/

Cargo nets are great for bulk moving. I use mine for firewood a lot, where cargo straps would have me tying down every 12" or so. That said, I'm not too sure that the Rivian has enough tie-downs in bed to make the net work super well. I normally tarp + cargo strap things in my truck bed, and...

5680, delivery tomorrow.

Yea, my guess is that their system doesn't have a button for "give me next in line" when a vehicle ends in the hands of the SC after someone backs out. Hell, it probably doesn't even have a "sort by pre-order date in my location", the SC is probably just slamming a couple of queries together...

Let's see, got a notification of guide contact on a Sunday evening (!), confirmed my config was good via text, opened up the 8 steps that night. Completed the 8 steps by Tuesday, and was told it was at the SC and could be picked up if I wanted to fly out there and drive it back, or it would be...
