  1. Volvo EX90 could be worthy competitor to R1S

    That's for the European audience. The site they are referring to is for US reservations, so they are reporting what they expect the EPA rating to be, which is much more realistic. That will also be for the lower power, 5.7s performance version. Upping the power to the 4.7s will drop range...
  2. Volvo EX90 could be worthy competitor to R1S

    It's pretty much a given that you can take a given XC90 build and add $20k to estimate what the price will be. The reservation page shows that it will start at $80k, and that's for lower range and 5.7s performance, which is about right. Top spec definitely over $100k.
  3. Rivian R1T thermal system teardown by Munro

    A good test would be to do the same exercise in AP and then Conserve. Presumably the latter has half the regen of the former, and wouldn't exceed that limit. A note I'll add. The other day, I was at 78% soc, and briefly got a notice that regen was limited while slowing (due to high state of...
  4. Dometic CFX3 35 Cooler: Impact to R1T battery level after 24 HR of 120V connection

    My guess is that there is no easy mod, as there is a reason not a single truck on the market has one from the factory, nor have I ever seen one modded to add one. Way easier and likely cheaper to just keep a power station in the bed with the fridge. Or you could see if the gear tunnel door will...
  5. R1T's range is so impressive, even on 20" tires. Averaged 2.38 mi/kWh on 400 mile road trip

    I think people underestimate the impact of wind. I just did a trip to the beach, starting at 750ft and ending at 0. I achieved only 1.9 in Conserve Low on the way there, despite going downhill, due to 15-20mph sustained headwinds (gusts 25-30). On the way home, I achieved 2.31 in AP Low, despite...
  6. R1T's range is so impressive, even on 20" tires. Averaged 2.38 mi/kWh on 400 mile road trip

    Keep in mind that the lifetime average includes all of the daily short trips, which have the worst efficiency of any driving that you will do (same as in an ICE vehicle). It takes a good 20-30 minutes of driving before you settle into an efficiency operation. So all of those 15-30 minute errand...
  7. R1T's range is so impressive, even on 20" tires. Averaged 2.38 mi/kWh on 400 mile road trip

    If you do that and average under 70mph, the range on 20's is close to 375.
  8. R1T's range is so impressive, even on 20" tires. Averaged 2.38 mi/kWh on 400 mile road trip

    Nothing wrong, all the trucks will behave the same under the same conditions, which means the conditions were markedly different between the two observations.
  9. Dometic CFX3 35 Cooler: Impact to R1T battery level after 24 HR of 120V connection

    Don't know about that one specifically, but my Jackery 240 charges at 60w plugged into a standard house outlet. I would assume something similar for the PLB40. That means the Jackery charges 0-100% in 4 hours (240wh). My operation will be to run the fridge on the truck's 12v in the cabin (I...
  10. Dometic CFX3 35 Cooler: Impact to R1T battery level after 24 HR of 120V connection

    Just posted the same, but the problem is the invertor would still be on, even if not being used. The choice for outlets being on is all or nothing, you can't choose just the 12v.
  11. Dometic CFX3 35 Cooler: Impact to R1T battery level after 24 HR of 120V connection

    It would be helpful to do the same test with it plugged into the 12v to compare. However, I'm not exactly sure if those stay on the same as the 120v does now when that switch is flipped (they didn't early on). In theory the 12v doesn't have the conversion losses, but given you can't tell it to...
  12. 25,000 unit production goal might be tough

    They backed off the 10k EDV goal a long time ago. Think it was the Q2 Earnings call that RJ gave a vague answer that indicated closer to 2/3rds of the 25k would be R1's.
  13. 39.1 OTA bugs (compressor, audio controls, etc.)

    That's what mine did on .1 and hasn't come back since .3.
  14. Optima Overlanding Rivian R1T build teased for SEMA

    From what I've seen in ICE world, a trailer such as a Patriot isn't a huge hit to efficiency. I.e. maybe 15% but no where near 50% rule of thumb for towing bigger things. Anyone done a range/efficiency test with a teardrop or camping trailer??
  15. 39.1 OTA bugs (compressor, audio controls, etc.)

    Seen a general decline in activity/noise over the months with updates. Keep in mind that recently temps are starting to drop so that could be a factor as well holding everything else constant. I haven't specifically noticed a change with this month's update on that front. The summary statistics...
  16. Tonneau Redesign Ready???

    I believe we all signed something at delivery that we were participating in a beta program in general.
  17. 39.1 OTA bugs (compressor, audio controls, etc.)

    For what it's worth for everyone, the .3 update fixed mine, but I then had one time shortly after when I noticed it was off again while showing someone the truck. I checked later and it was back again.
  18. Optima Overlanding Rivian R1T build teased for SEMA

    They said the battery is 110kwh (also why they say it can charge from 0-80%), which is quite impressive how they achieved that much in that space.... So, the battery and related electrical component is going to be probably $15k alone, before accounting for the actual trailer and other components.
  19. 39.1 OTA bugs (compressor, audio controls, etc.)

    Yeah, I mean to quantify it, mine is probably five seconds after going to the Spotify screen after a long sit/sleep? If yours is significantly more than that then perhaps there is bug to be worked out. But I have lag going to other screens too after waking up, that have no server connection...
  20. Tonneau Redesign Ready???

    I'm curious what your wider slats look like. How many of them are there? BTW, Rivian definitely doesn't stand for tough adventure....I love it, but that's not how I'd describe it at all. That's the primary conundrum and deficiency compared to alternative adventure vehicles, you have to/feel...
