Suspension is the same, and the settings you use are entirely dependent on the surface. Soft setting will get you better articulation, and is usually the setting I leave it in. On faster sections, are you often need to firm things up for better control.

My tests and findings with the QM have already been published, and are pretty well known on this list. As far as I'm concerned, is not a machine that you should try to do any serious off-roading with. The picture below is at the top of buckhorn trail. QM's can't even make it up the trail without...

Counterpoint. As the company that has done the most to provide fast, reliable charging to us, and is likely to continue to be the fastest growing brand, I plan on doing just the opposite. Support those who have done the most for me by choosing to give them my money. Every charge where I...

If you're just charging the Rivian, you would use the 60. If you want to future proof yourself for vehicle's with bigger on board chargers, you could go with the 80. Examples of vehicle that need the 80 are Ford and GM pick up EVs.

They are super quick to dial 911. I heard. ?

Yes it is. ??

No.

I'm too old to change my "charging etiquette".

I have gotten quite a few off-road specific questions today regarding how to use traction control settings. It seemed reasonable to start a discussion thread, so others can chime in with their experiences. This thread is going to mainly concern the DM machines. It is no secret that I am not a...

Yes. It "locks" the vehicle in 4-wheel drive, and lets you use the highest suspension setting. It also disables the parking sensors, so the vehicle does not freak out when you are ploughing through brush. I recently tested the DM on quite challenging trails while intentionally _not_ putting...

It's a gimmick (in the DM), you do not need it. The QM needs various modes to help the computer guess at the surface it is on, to better react to it. Since the QM has no mechanical device to assist with this, the modes help a lot. The DM has differentials that mechanically react to the...

Both my QM, and the QM one of my buddies has pull left. A ton of variables at play most likely. Having made that statement, I am a big fan of a line a fellow engineer is fond of using; " the most reliable part you can ever engineer is the one that does not exist". The DM eliminated a pretty...

Yes, the DM will engaged the rear for regenerative braking when the computer deems it necessary. The amount of regenerative braking available on the DM is the same or very similar to the QM, but the amount of energy reclaimed is theoretically higher for a given inertia set. This is because...

It's not weird at all. Trying to mass produce both motors and the associated inverters that output absolutely identically is actually more difficult than you might imagine; even for a manufacturer like Bosch. Both GM and Tesla engineers feared this problem, and avoided it by using a tri-motor...

Your timing on entering this market is excellent. Kudos, and I hope you do very well. ?

Are any of you guys with pulling issues running DM machines?

There is mounting evidence that this is the problem; The Rivian systems are not properly maintaining the 12 volt battery, and they are wearing out prematurely.

Dog is my guide.
