  1. Powered tonneau fix = new dual motors setup

    That mark would require all the existing panels to be modified, if they are replacing all panels that wouldn't be a big deal but I don't know if that's the plan. I would think they would use the existing or new torque shaft to keep the gears synced and have the second motor to prevent any...
  2. Bring back the Owl (Halloween Mode)

    Unless they deleted it since it's initial release, Halloween mode should already be "installed" and won't need an ota. It might be unlocked by calendar date?
  3. Let's remove the Conserve Mode stigma

    FWD for conserve makes sense for many reasons. I meant that the rears should be reactivated at low speeds; basically making the quad conserve more like the dual all-purpose.
  4. Let's remove the Conserve Mode stigma

    The key is that the dual-motor will only drop out the rear motor when it is not needed. It's similar to if you're in a quad-motor and only switch to conserve once you get up to speed on the highway. The tire wear multiplies if you use conserve for daily stop-and-go driving. Maybe Rivian will...
  5. Wire Guage clarification help.

    Since you are installing in an unfinished area, I would run a 3/4" metal or PVC conduit with 2x #6THHN and a #10 ground with a 60A breaker. This removes any questions about proper sizing and gives you 48A charging if you need it. You could use liquidtite or flex but it may be harder to pull...
  6. Rivian cost cutting suggestion: Lose the camp speaker

    I agree with OP. The speaker should have been an option with a draw as standard equipment. The camp speaker sounds ok but it has problems. -it's impossible to see its status in daylight with its dim leds -have to re-pair it almost every time -randomly hear it powering down from inside the...
  7. Charging Situation Curiosity

    R1S will come with a portable charger with two swappable plugs - (1) standard 120v and (1) L14-50 that is maxes out at 32A. You could get ev capable adapters online but its not typically a user friendly experience. I'd float the idea by of putting in a L14-50 outlet on a 40A or 50A circuit (at...
  8. Charging Situation Curiosity

    You should have no problem making that trip during non-freezing temps with 120v charging. For the situations where you are in sub freezing weather, it seems you could make a last minute decision before your return trip home to take the long route with dcfc. Either way it would be worth the...
  9. 48A vs. 40A for home charging??

    Go with hard wired if you can. Put the highest amp evse your house and budget can support; anywhere from 30-48A will get you charged overnight without any concerns. If you frequently need to get juice for last minute trips or after a commute and don't have dcfc nearby then 48A is really nice to...
  10. PA Announces Round 1 NEVI funding

    This is great news overall, glad to have more options in PA. Also sheds some light on Tesla's recent push to grant supercharger access to other manufactures - now they're eligible for NEVI funds.
  11. New driving mode needed, hint not conserve, but it conserves___________?

    Getting back to the original point of the thread, I don't think a "tire conserve" mode would be any more useful than the existing all-purpose mode. I agree that there there should be a disclaimer on the drive mode page for Conserve mode that it could result in accelerated front tire wear if used...
  12. New driving mode needed, hint not conserve, but it conserves___________?

    I don't think it works that way. Conserve is the only mode, as of today, that uses the rear drive disconnect clutches on the Quad-motor. What you described is the new dual motor configuration. They removed conserve mode and blended it into all-purpose. I assume front tire wear will be much...
  13. PASSENGER AIRBAG TURNS OFF

    The sensor is located towards the middle rear of the passenger seat bottom cushion. If you place all your weight there the "airbag off" will clear within a couple seconds, even while in motion. No need to exit the vehicle.
  14. PASSENGER AIRBAG TURNS OFF

    Had the same issue with the airbag turning off depending on how my wife sits in the seat. Mobile service tech confirmed sensors were working correctly back in Feb. On a recent drive we realized it hadn't given us issues in a while. Since she hasnt gained weight, I think maybe the seat wore in...
  15. EV's more expensive to charge than ICE Counterparts?

    Source material also presents a time burden of around 3 hours for home charging where fueling ICE is <1hr.. I don't recall standing at my home charger waiting for electrons to move for a combined three hours. Report is overall biased against EV.
  16. Camp speaker

    +1. Frequently have to forget and re-pair it multiple times for Android phone. It doesn't charge in the dock reliably unless I wake it up. It's usually at 10% or less when I want to use it. Hopefully they'll give us a firmware update to make it work as well as any cheap speaker on the market...
  17. Manual tonneau cover for R1T has arrived!

    I just got a call from Rivian customer service. They told me my manual tonneau is scheduled for delivery tomorrow to the address on file. Not sure why but they had my old address on file which I updated 2 years ago. So I guess no delivery tomorrow.
  18. panel upgrade question

    200 amp panel is generally good enough and is a good start. You might run into panel loading limits if you try to install two l14-50 outlet circuits depending on what else is in the house. I would think you have two decent options: a) dual plug charger/load sharing evse setup on a single 60amp...
  19. FOB Proximity Performance

    I'm super excited about the idea of fob proximity functionality in the latest OTA (2023.6) . This is top of my list of wanted features because I don't use paak and i don't like the experience of fumbling around to press fob buttons. I haven't got the update yet so I was wondering if anyone who...
  20. Emporia EV Charger

    I have the emporia. Prior to that I charged with the portable unit and it was fine. I never sweat the charge speed at 32A. 40mi daily commute + topping off for weekend trips. I got the emporia because I needed something that could survive out in the rain. IMHO unless you have time of use pricing...
