Too smothering and unadventurous. Instead I have them cache spare tires and supplies along the route in advance

Looks that way to me too. Unless you want the R2 to do something the iX3 can't do in terms of storage or off roading, or you want the cheaper model R2.

Actually, I just weighed it and looks like I have two lamborghinis

My car is yellow and does 0-60 in 3.1s so maybe I do

You can connect Home Assistant to Rivian and get all the data. But last I checked it’s not neatly organized over time and presented like this project

The fun part: when Rivian tries to do all this through a complex LLM setup that ends up performing worse and less predictably than old tech (for way more money).

Oops, I fixed the link for future readers.

It actually is evidence and is very scientific. It's not conclusive, it doesn't tell you what every Gen 1 or Gen 2 vehicle would do but it's good data.

Easy to find a stretch of highway in Colorado that's 70 miles between decent fast chargers. Add in 3000+ feet of elevation gain and that can be 30-40% battery in perfect conditions let alone if it's cold and/or you have a roof box. Of course if it's 70 miles between chargers then you're only 35...

Yes, the "tire guide" shows this method: https://rivian.com/support/article/r1-tire-service-guide

The charts empirically measure the efficiency of two different vehicles under highly similar conditions. It doesn't isolate the impact of the heat pump, but you'd think if the heat pump made much difference to cold-weather efficiency then you'd see a bigger difference on the left side of the...

Camp leveling

It's going to get worse before it gets better, if ever. Perhaps direct the staff to garage one of the R1's. You can use it to tow your Grenadier to the trail and save on fuel. Plus, you'll have a more capable recovery vehicle close at hand.

Not everyone agrees with me but I would say the subwoofer

I would start with Moab or Yellowstone and go from there

I would definitely put A-pillar grab handles on the R1 if someone made them

I think Toyo would be a big hit to your range for no good reason compared to the Territory. Editing/adding: Goodyear range is almost as good as all-season tires (you can tell this from Rivian's own EPA range ratings). Toyo range is reportedly similar to the OEM Pirelli all-terrains, which is...

Bottle jack lifting directly on a flat part of the rock sliders right below the frame rails. Or with a little rubber pad on top.

I would have brushed it off, if it weren’t for the comically over the top announcement article. Next: “our designers spent months in the wilds tracking the elusive Alaskan wolf so they could bring you a mind blowing new subtle yet bold shade, Slightly Darker Gray.”

What next? door lock/unlock that works instantly with no bugs or delays?
