Last Saturday was a new moon and I had some new lenses I wanted to test out. So we hopped in the truck and drove up to RMNP for some astro photography. Before heading to the top of Trail Ridge rd, I got some great shots of bull Elk. It’s rutting season so they’re out strutting their stuff...
Rivian’s new duffel bag arrived a short while ago. I took a few shots of it to give you my thoughts. It’s a pretty good sized duffel with plenty of room for coats, shoes, etc. Besides the main compartment, has two zipped end pockets, two interior mesh pockets, and a interior zipped pocket along...
I did a search and didn't see anyone posting this. The tailgate pad is getting attention but Rivian also released a new duffel bag and a packing cube set. Both have Rivian branding but the duffel bag is shaped to fit in the gear tunnel. It looks like a quality product as well.
I just ordered...
Decided to take a little road trip over the Mt Evans. For those that don’t know This is a 14000+ ft mountain in Colorado, near Idaho Springs. The road to the top is the highest paved road in North America.
It’s a really nice way to beat the heat. It was only 59F at the top. :)
BTW, if you ever...
We've all seen the FUD about EV battery recycling, or the lack there of. Jerry Rig Everything has a great explainer on how our batteries are being recycled.
Today I got a bit fed up with Nationwide. They’ve been taking way to long to get our claim settled so I can get into a new R1T. They stated it’s taking a long time to get the assessment done so they can determine the final payout.
For those that don’t know. Our truck was totaled after an...
IF Toyota can successfully bring this to market it definitely close the use case gap that justifies ICE based vehicles. IMO, 10 minutes for charging is more important than the range. If we can get 300+ miles of range in 10 minutes or less, it’s game over for ICE. Only diehards and collectors...

With these announcements, ChargePoint, EVgo, and several charger manufacturers will support NACS. Electrify Americas chargers come from two manufacturers in the list.

Today I had the most expensive trip to IKEA without buying a damn thing.
It was wet and rainy and the guy behind me wasn't quick on the stop. He got a face full of air bag and distroyed his otherwise lovely X-Terra that he said he paid off just a couple of months ago.
I was well behind the...
He points out many of the issues we’ve all seen. At the end he believes he would have bought the Ford Lightning instead. He did have an pretty early R1T.
Among his chief complaints:
1. Poor service at the beginning (calling it ”wonky and weird”), but he says that did improve greatly.
2...
Selling iKamper XCover Rooftop Tent with Insulation tent. The RTT is too big for for my R1T but should fit fine on the top of an R1S.
This tent is in excellent shape and has been used roughly 10 times. There is no mold or mildew anywhere on it. The only problem is the broken top step of the...

What Rivian related stuff did you get today and are you planning to do anything in your R1 today? I’ll go first.
I made out like a bandit. My wife looked so over and found this at a Family Dollar in Denver.
Now we’re getting ready to head up to the Rockies. I’m going to put Snow Mode...
