  1. New Products From Abstract Ocean!

    It's at least as good quality. I noticed that the oem one had one blemish and these didn't. One thing that might be nice though... there are two flims, one on each side. The sticky side had thick stiff film and the outer side had thin flimsy film. Install would probably be a lot easier if...
  2. New Products From Abstract Ocean!

    Yeah it was not comfortable even with hat sunscreen and fan. Thankfully it went fast. It's so damn hot.
  3. New Products From Abstract Ocean!

    They look so good! Texas heat made it easy to pull the old badges off. I think having PPF also helped. I think I would have liked the yellow accents on the large badge also, but it still looks amazing!
  4. Rivian Wall Charger too hot in summer?

    It charges fine at 44 amps. Something about 48 amps causes it to stop after maybe 2 hours.
  5. Rivian Wall Charger too hot in summer?

    Good point. The charger doesn't error out so it must be the truck.
  6. Rivian Wall Charger too hot in summer?

    It's still really hot outside. I don't like parking outside overnight and it doesn't get below 90 until pretty late at night. I did consider that though.
  7. Rivian Wall Charger too hot in summer?

    I am in Austin, and its pretty damn hot out. I have a garage to attic fan which tries to keep the garage cool, but the walls measure in at ~100º F. I have noticed that at 48 amps, the cable gets warm, and the thumb press on the connector gets exceptionally warm. Measured it at 118º F. Cable...
  8. New Products From Abstract Ocean!

    I ordered a set without the sealing fluid. I have ppf as well so figured I didn't need it. What exactly does it do?
  9. Rivian executive acknowledges R1S AC noise problem

    Interesting. In the videos I see recirc is off, which is why I mentioned it. I didn't see any mention of testing that in this thread. Figured it was worth a shot. It does take about 15 seconds for the compressor to recognize its pulling in cooler and and slow down, fwiw.
  10. Rivian executive acknowledges R1S AC noise problem

    Have yall tried setting AC to recirc instead of fresh? I am in Austin and when trying to use fresh mode on my Model Y or R1T it gets absurdly loud. The fan has to crank to 11 because it's trying to cool 105 degree air instead of cooling recycled cool air. This also chews threw battery as...
  11. Top 16 Reasons Switching to NACS Standard is a Colossal Win for the Consumer

    You are correct, but if other stations and cars went to NACS we would have the same happy world. There are fewer cars and stations with CCS so it would be cheaper overall to swap those out to the much better NACS connector.
  12. POLL: Would you like Rivian to adopt NACS Tesla charging standard?

    If you never use a supercharger you will never have to worry about it, will you? Edit: and the poll is explicitly about the connector. Its a better connection. Flat out.
  13. POLL: Would you like Rivian to adopt NACS Tesla charging standard?

    It's not reductive. It's exactly the issue. No one is FORCSD to use a supercharger. And even if I couldn't use the supercharger I want an NACS connector because it's better.
  14. POLL: Would you like Rivian to adopt NACS Tesla charging standard?

    If Rivian goes to NACS that does NOT mean you have to use a supercharger. This is only about the connector and every other station can EASILY put in NACS cables. It's a better connector: slimmer, lockable, same for AC and DC, more reliable. This doesn't meant that EA, EVgo, and Chargepoint...
  15. Top 5 Reasons Switching to a Tesla Dominated NACS Standard is a Colossal Mistake for the Consumer

    This is all just about the connector and wire, right? You wouldn't HAVE to use Superchargers (even though they are so much better). Tesla wouldn't have any control over your vehicle either, its just a physical connector. This also doesn't stop EA, EVGo, Chargepoint, and others from using...
  16. Bike rack that works with cross bars on truck bed?

    These were also on my list, even though I went with the Kuat. Advantages: Kuat: Style, lockable, doesn't seem to hang off the back quite as far. 1Up: Higher load rating, cheaper I don't think you can go wrong with either of these. I would note that at least with the kuat (though I reckon the...
  17. Anyone know when Rivian switched to the new "front" subframe?*edit*

    The subframe was Rivian's diagnosis, not mine. I initially thought it was a loose steering rack.
