  1. Gen 1 Vampire Drain (Possibly) Solved (or Hacked)

    FWIW here's some baseline data, a full midnight-to-midnight 24 hours of my R1T PDM Max unplugged at a moderate SOC, no gear guard or proximity locking and of course no driving, and a very typical 1.60kwh gone like the wind:
  2. 2000 mile road trip from NJ to Indiana - Good/Bad

    Select a destination, and then before you hit Go, you can go into the detailed settings to adjust chargers, tolls, if you have a Tesla adapter or not, etc, see here:
  3. Camp setup ready to go!

    FWIW they'll mount up fine on the side of your tent if you ever want to free up the tunnel space:
  4. Camp setup ready to go!

    Excellent!! Where are the traction boards going to go for the inevitable beach sand miscalculation? ;)
  5. Let's talk about the AC inverter's new Auto Mode from 2024.27.30

    So much digital ink is being spilled on Apple Music and Connect+ and it's 60 day trial :rolleyes: ...but anyone who road trips or camps with an electric cooler should be absolutely singing the praises of this new software update: TLDR: Having the AC power outlets enabled horks down roughly...
  6. Happy Monday!! Atomic Wheels Installed & in Action

    Reducing rotational mass by 50lbs is seriously something that tickles the butt-dyno :rock: More detailed review to come in due course but for now two ?? for @Atomic Wheels :
  7. R1S Roof Top Tent - Initial Thoughts- A little painful

    Cool ways to get an RTT on top your SUV with a tight garage: As for the setup/tear-down complications...that's really more the design of your tent than something universal. Something like a Roofnest Falcon like I had on my XC60 would be better honestly, hard shell means no covers/zippers to...
  8. Creating the Ultimate Wheel/Tire Combo (Help Needed)

    Funny problem with these new rims...now I need to give my calipers a good scrubbing too :p ...
  9. Solar panel charging for camping?

    A penny saved is a penny earned right? Over in this thread we're working on the idea of using a 12v battery tender (of which solar options totally exist and are practically sized) to keep the computers and HV->12v charger from cycling, possibly stopping the ~1%/day phantom drain loss...
  10. Creating the Ultimate Wheel/Tire Combo (Help Needed)

    I'm on the OE AT Scorpions, and at least at this point don't plan to change...less rotational weight is king! I just shaved off 50lbs of it, not looking to add any back (all other AT options I've seen are heavier) unless there's a really good reason to. Fozzy, here are some pics that Atomic...
  11. Creating the Ultimate Wheel/Tire Combo (Help Needed)

    TBD, just installed them today, but will indeed have tested efficiency metrics and acceleration in a week or two in a video on my channel. From a FEEL standpoint, oh yeah it's nice, steering feel is lighter (less gyroscopic..."inertia"? fighting against you), and suspension is much more...
  12. Creating the Ultimate Wheel/Tire Combo (Help Needed)

    To be clear fwiw, these are Atomic 20" AWZZ, custom ordered in "Antique Bronze" They are 12.6lbs lighter per wheel than the AT 20" Black wheels...
  13. Quick weekend camping trip to Groveland & Yosemite in R1T

    Just a quick little camping trip, up to Groveland CA to check out the newest RAN charger, over night with the Llamas while testing out a couple new pieces of camping kit, and then up to Yosemite for stunning vistas and a refreshing dip in the Merced river:
  14. Gen 1 Vampire Drain (Possibly) Solved (or Hacked)

    Scratch all my results, just went and checked and realized the tender was showing a fault, and cleared that by waking up the truck...I don't think the trailer hitch power feed is going to work for this. The draw from the wall was 1.9w, so I think that was just keeping the tender warm, and it...
  15. Gen 1 Vampire Drain (Possibly) Solved (or Hacked)

    Yes! Sorry, .230kwh is what I meant...now up to .69 for 11 hours worth of today. That's basically 'normal' in my book, it's going to be around 1%/24h, so not seeing any improvement. The tender itself is consuming 1.9w, so when I check the cumulative use in an hour I'm expecting it to show...
  16. Gen 1 Vampire Drain (Possibly) Solved (or Hacked)

    lol, 12v tender mag-safe! That's a product in need of invention. Test Update: Starting at 10PM last night, the truck slept for just over 4 hours, woke up for 90 minutes burning .230kwh, probably thinking about existential issues and rolling over again and again...and then went back to sleep...
  17. Gen 1 Vampire Drain (Possibly) Solved (or Hacked)

    Okie dokie, well here we go...power draw started at 3w and then over a few minutes came down to 2w and is sitting there now while the software update installs :rolleyes: Proximity locking & gear guard disabled (and at home anyway, doors unlocked), [email protected]%, and can leave it just sitting there...
  18. What's the Size of Update Files and Which Web Service Delivers Them?

    Seems likely: https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/rivian-case-study/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/industries/how-rivian-optimized-cloud-storage-for-its-adas-and-product-engineering-workloads-on-aws/
  19. Travel Kitchen Official Release. Now in Gear Shop

    No particular issues...no rust, no squeaks, never even thought about it honestly. Does it's job and it's huge so all's quite sturdy.
