I've been fortunate with DWP for my 11 years in this house. Rarely goes out. If it does, generally only for a couple of minutes. This is the first long outage I've had. While it likely won't be a regular problem, this is inspiring me to finally set up my EcoFlow Delta Max 2016 in my office...

The refrigerator is in a different room, so haven't paid attention to when it turns on and off. I usually run my fridge/freezer at the lowest temps possible. I bumped both of them up to conserve energy. I'm also turning the space heater on and off as necessary, rather than letting it go on it's...

Actually, did my calculation wrong. Multiplied instead of divided. Using only 0.57 kwh per hour, actually means I could get 175 hours of use, not just 57! WOW. Basically a full week of power sitting in my driveway. Unfortunately, the truck only puts out 1500w, so not sure how much more I can...

Unfortunately, will likely be a while before v2h power is available as Rivian has much bigger fish to fry right now as a new company. But hopefully some day it will come. Am satisfied with the power usable so far. Been 7 hours since I've plugged in my office, even added a space heater which...

This topic just came up the other day. While we can't directly connect our houses to the Rivian as you can with the Ford, we can at least run extension cords to the vital items you need powered. With all the rain here in SoCal, LADWP is having issues. Power has been out on at least, my block...

And coincidentally, this video was just posted today. Many might change their mind about thinking of it as a "competitor" to the Rivian after watching it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjee1LdmHbo

I did it on my Ford Expedition about 20 years ago! Keep in mind, due to the rougher surface of the plastic pieces, even painted the same color, will look more like a matte finish than gloss finish, so won't match the body panels perfectly. Be sure whoever you have do it knows how to properly...

Thanks so much for posting these. As I noted, once I could see the plates on the full running board, I might change my mind and choose to go with the logos instead. Having seen these images, that's exactly where I'm at. With the reduced number of logos, looks much cleaner and far less busy and I...

I love my air suspension. The adjustable height combined with amazing ride quality are just two of my must haves. One of the things that turned me off of the Ford, Model 3 and even the Lucid, were that they lacked air suspension.

The truck will answer that question for you. While parked, you can switch into conserve mode and your range will instantly increase to what it estimates your range will be. At 85%, mine says 241 miles in all-purpose and 262 miles in Conserve. Roughly an 8% increase.

"Thought" I was aware of all new EV's coming to market. Apparently not. Never heard of a VF9 until reading this today. Haven't fully read up on it. Have heard about some considering battery rentals. But, I'm definitely not a fan of that concept for such a critical part of the car. If the company...

Was averaging about 80 MPH (people still blowing by me like I was sitting still, LOL), and had an efficiency of about 1.7 mi/per kwh with 20" all-terrains in Conserve mode. When my truck had 20" all-terrains, on the same trip several months ago, I got closer to 1.85 mi/per kwh at roughly the...

On a 150kw charger, The Rivian will pull just over 150kw in the early part of the charge and taper down to around 120kw by around 50%. Roughly. On the 350kw chargers, it will pull 210+/- kw early on, but tapers down much faster as it heats up the battery too much and speed is reduced to cool...

Possibly Palm Springs has newer 350kw chargers that know how to communicate with the Rivian better? It is a known issue that many of EA 350kw chargers have had specifically charging the Rivian. The big issue has been with many of them delivering more power than the Rivian is asking for. Two of...

IT'S ALIVE!...I think! DIdn't hear from Rivian today, but was receiving constant notifications on my phone that the truck was ready for an update and that it had been updated several times. I checked the app later and after days of showing "---" for miles remaining, all windows, doors, frunk...

Absolutely correct on driving faster. Tested it many times myself. I've posted previously on this. Considering the cars charge at well over 250 miles per hour of range added, it's always faster to charge more times at the higher kw than it is to drive slow and sit at a charger for an hour or...

Another not fun adventure using Electrify America chargers. Went from L.A. to Vegas. Charged on the way. Used my head and just went straight to the 150 kw charger, knowing that Rivian's always seem to have issues when using the 350 kw chargers. Worked fine and was on my way. On the way back...

Received a call from Rivian this morning. Apparently the CGM (Central Gateway Module) failed. They are ordering a new one and hope to have it Monday. Apparently an easy fix once they have the part. Whatever that part is, it sure as heck is important! Ran an internet search, only found two...

Received a call from Rivian this morning. The CGM went bad. Doesn't appear to be as a result of a software update. Just randomly went bad. They are ordering a new one and hope to have it by Monday.

Glad you made it out safely. Hopefully your friend doesn't dis-own you! LOL From the looks of it, thinking it's not a "Rivian" issue. That type of surface likely would have done in any type of truck with the same tires.
