Anyone know what he means by the Apple Watch support? I get that it won't be UWB, but will it utilize a different technique than the current PAAK system (ie Bluetooth antennas and complicated hand shakes) and therefore possibly be more reliable?
(BTW: I have figured out the quirks on my...
Ha looks very similar!
My box is a bit wider than yours, but the rear-view is still fine with it mounted near the side.
For those mentioning flags etc, it is well within the limit allowed without a flag in BC.
Hey friends, after running my ski box on my roof for my first winter with the truck ('23/24), in December '24 I tested mounting the ski box over the truck bed instead.
Result: I found it reduced the range impact by 1/2 as compared to mounting it on the roof. Cost wise - the parts to modify my...
I don't expect they will announce it for R1, but it looks fairly simple to integrate both the LiDAR and updated radars to R1. I'd expect to see it about the same time as R2 Gen3 hardware.
If the Gen3 R2 actually plays out to personal L4, I'll happily replace my 2018 Model 3 and retire my R1 from daily commuter to weekend adventure and towing duties. Getting 2 hours of my day back would be fantastic! Most of my computer hobbies/entertainment stuff I do in the evening could be done...
This text integration looks substantially better than what I have in my 2018 Model 3. I understand now why it took so long, though a part of me wishes they did have a basic version years ago as filler. Glad it is coming to Gen 1's as well :)
If the spacing of suitable chargers works out, I suspect they would have gone as fast as reasonably possible and run SOC down to ~10-15%, and only charged up to about 60-65%, keeping the SOC envelope there should yield >400kW avg charging, spending about 20-25 mins per stop (assuming they were...
I'll counter your anecdote with my own, my 2018 Model 3 SUCKS in so many ways (including UI [excepting texting!]) compared to my R1T, particularly in the body corrosion department - this thing looks worse at 7 years old than my 15 year old Subaru Loyale when I was in my 20's.
Thanks for those numbers. Wonder why they did this? One of the things I like about our R1's is the higher voltage for a "400V" pack. More kW on amperage constrained chargers (which is mostly what I find in the wild).
I feel similarly, although my cargo bike no longer carries small humans (mine are now 14 and 16), so the shorter length of the cargo set-up is less of a potential hinderance for me.
The ALSO solves a few pain points I have with my current bike, and others I didn't know I had:
- I have a beefy...
GM appears to have killed off the Brightdrop EV van. While I'm sad the production has closed at the Ontario plant (I'm Canadian after all), the silver lining might be that Rivian picks up any customers who were considering the GM van...
For #1, this is a limitation of how Rivian currently calculates 100% range on that screen. Rather than using the data it accumulates on each trailer, it largely generates this range value based on the estimated weight of the trailer. I've towed 10,000km with my Airstream 20FB and it displays an...
Given that that R1T belongs to a platform that includes the R1S, and AFAIK, the others don't really (aside from the Hummer), I include the R1S in the count, which from a linked article on the vans earlier in the thread, Cox Automotive placed at ~8,000 in Q3. That puts the platform at the top of...
