  1. Tesla nefarious behavior?

    False equivalency. Musk is one of the world's wealthiest and most powerful people with a documented history of lying for massive financial gain, who has never and apparently will never own up to apologize for anything he does. Rober is a YouTuber and publicly works on passion projects...
  2. Tesla nefarious behavior?

    Mr. Rober is taking up the mantle of the new Mythbuster, which I think is kind of excellent.
  3. Photo: R2 body built w/ production dies! NACS charge port location = driver's side ?

    The worst-cast scenario for me (personally) is driver rear, because the chargers are at the front of the garage and I back into the garage. I could pull in forwards, but then either: 1) If I park on the right, we couldn't get into the house 2) If I park on the left, I can't get out of the truck...
  4. Cabin temp control while parked?

    Absolutely no idea. Rivian has defined "too hot" somewhere. Not clear to me if it's ambient or specific to the center stack display, but I suspect the latter, as I haven't had an issue since installing the screen (but the truck still gets well over 100 degrees in summer)
  5. Cabin temp control while parked?

    There is absolutely a "running AC to protect screens" mode but it's fully automatic. I haven't had an issue since putting up a shade in the glass roof (Gen 1 so it's not active like Gen 2), but have seen it several times before that.
  6. Dirt inside tailgate, can I remove the plastic cover?

    Mine has come off before for a repair and has never sat properly again. I don't know how many clips were destroyed in the process. It is definitely going to fall off at some point. Be careful ...
  7. Initial Comparison of Running Boards and Rock Sliders

    I assumed that was a scam, but I emailed them anyway. No response, been 4 days. Figured I'd at least get some half-witted attempt at asking me to send a Venmo or something.
  8. Bluetti AC180 Power Battery Pack - Charging While Using

    On the coffee hierarchy, I'm not sure which is worse - day old coffee, or instant from those little Starbucks packets. K-cups are on the bottom tier, sorry folks. Having backpacked many many times with the Starbucks packets - I'm thinking I'd prefer day-old but Kosher coffee.
  9. Bluetti AC180 Power Battery Pack - Charging While Using

    Awesome thanks! I always bring the Smeg kettle along for coffee / hot chocolate when car-camping as well - it's great. And of course a stainless steel French press. I pre-grind the coffee because I'm not a complete douchebag, and bringing an electric burr grinder would be next-level. We...
  10. Bluetti AC180 Power Battery Pack - Charging While Using

    Nice! Our Gourmia crapped out, so I picked up a knock-off on Amazon and actually rather like it. Much better set-and-forget interface, dead silent even with the circulator running, and sturdier. I'll measure energy draw later this week and report back. Also need to figure out my induction...
  11. Bluetti AC180 Power Battery Pack - Charging While Using

    I was just checking out the Delta3 Plus ... it's input limited to 1500W. Have you tried it using the on-board inverter to see if it trips the circuit?
  12. Bluetti AC180 Power Battery Pack - Charging While Using

    I never gave this idea a single thought, but honestly it's a great one. In California, wildfires have pretty much precluded any campfire or bbq use unless you're at an approved site (and we always boondock), so this is kinda great to set and leave. Then reverse-sear on cast iron. This is...
  13. Issues with Michelin Defender LTX MS/2

    Everything they told you is BS. Sorry you're having that experience. Call corp and talk to customer service. Assuming they sold you the correct tire in the first place, you are on solid footing. The XL is a 116-rated tire and it's perfectly suitable for the R1s.
  14. Expected efficiency metrics - what’s the consensus?

    ^^^ this As an example, I have two primary routes to the office, about the same speeds and one about 6 miles longer (but less traffic). On the shorter route, I'll easily see >2.5mi/kWh r/t. On the longer route, which is undulating for 20 miles, will see 2.2 or less. It's also often windier on...
  15. Nav inaccuracy (new)?

    I'm one of the few that doesn't have a problem with the nav, since it's generally accurate. This is not to discuss generally UX complaints - instead, it's a specific calculation error. However, I am planning a trip across Nevada, using only highway 50, so actual planning is key. Heading to GB...
  16. Mildly Amusing: Parked Next to a Smart EQ Fortwo EV

    There's a local guy that tows a utility trailer with a Smart Four Two - see him in my neighborhood every couple weeks. I am quite sure he is insane. And yesterday, I saw an Amazon delivery guy doing runs in his Smart. I'm pretty sure he didn't understand the job description.
  17. For Sale 2023 R1S Adventure Quad Motor 27,200 Miles $68K

    Missing some key details here, my man. Price? What's a 20"+ premium wheel? (those are stock 21"s) Gotta put your username and date printed in the image so we know it's actually yours
  18. Am I the only Connect+ subscriber who didn't get the update?

    Aha, very interesting. I wonder what they found that made them slow the rollout ... It's not urgent, only interesting, as I would very much like to change my tire size to have more accurate speedo measurements.
