Nice one, thanks! So my take away from reading that is in terms of going boondocking, if you must, have your buddy with a ICE rig bring the generator and fuel for you :like:
Well yea I get that its not a fast charger, but just saying during a pure emergency, if all you need is another 20 miles of range to get to an actual charging source. You may need to stay put and run this generator for about 10 hours, but I'll take a 10 hour delay than spending $2000 for...
I'm still pretty green into overlanding, but is it practical to carry a portable gas generator for us EVs if we were to get stranded in middle of no where? I understand that planning ahead is the motto of any EV trip, but I'm just asking for those unforeseen situations where you accidentally...
Are the string lights the MPOWERD Luci Portable Solar String Light (https://www.rei.com/product/142541/mpowerd-luci-portable-solar-string-lights-18-white) ?
I was considering getting a couple for myself. Maybe the longer 44' ones. I've seen some groups that go out and have string lights that...
Not sure if it was mentioned already, but air speeds across the condensor when vehicle is at speed vs just the condensor fans when vehicle is stationary is a night and day difference even with 100+ outside temps. The vent temperatures while the car is moving is way cooler than sitting at a red...
It doesn't look great. I actually drove from Vegas to Reno and back once going through Bishop, CA using the Rivian charger there. I think going through Bishop takes about a hour longer? But that Rivian charger is nice. There are a few charging stops on the faster route using US-95, but I...
Got a RTT that fits fine on the front two crossbars, but the awning I have seems a bit long for only the front 2. Trying to secure the awning onto all the points.
Just going to drop this here just in case either of you are interested :)

I have 2 Rivian crossbars for my R1S already, but looking to get a third. If anybody has one (maybe another R1s owner with 4 crossbars) that they are trying to get rid of or anybody in the southern NV or SOCAL area trying to go halfsies with me on a new one from the Gear Shop, give me a shout.
Yeah, I've seen those (https://evsportline.com/products/rivian-aero-inserts?variant=41403168260236). I'm sure its a great product, but personally for me, a little hard to justify $250 when I'm only going to use them for long road trips couple times a year. Roll of tape is like $10 and probably...
Might be a stupid question, but has anyone tried covering your non-aero wheels with masking/painters tape to increase range in a similar sense that the aero wheel covers do? Temporarily, of course, for road trips and such....
I remember back in the day, some guys would cover the front clip of...
Since we're sharing, I had a similar experience. After my Demo Drive, me and the demo drive rep were casually conversating about Rivians in general and how much I like the Launch Green, but I was late to the game and settled with El Cap. Paraphrasing here but:
Rep: "Yenno, we actually have a...
Hm, My wife and I did joint and processed relatively quickly. I had her as a joint account owner of the initial savings account so maybe that helped?
We got 3.74% at 60 months
Just submitted for membership to USSFCU last night. I'd recommend using the ACC method unless of course you WANT to donate to the Captiol Historical Society
If anyone makes it all the way through for USSFCU, I would love to hear what rate you guys got.
I just got a pre-approval from Navy Federal at 4.74% for 60 months with >800 score.
