I imagine cooling lines would also have to be set up as well as a way to wire it in to the existing electrical. Much more complicated than dropping it in the bed and connecting a plug.

Another place for Chevy Bolts to park for 1+ hours. LOL. I kid but, every time I've visited an EA site, there's at least one Chevy Bolt plugged in that's been there for ages.

An easier way to see if it's really the NFC locking the vehicle. Get out of the vehicle, tap the phone to the driver's handle and see if it locks the car.

I just ran across this article: https://www.carscoops.com/2024/12/rivian-quietly-removes-front-under-seat-storage-in-gen-2-r1t-and-r1s-heres-why/ According to the article they ONLY removed the passenger side cubby and, allegedly, it was because Rivian determined very few people were using the...

I think most Tesla owners just go to whatever site their vehicle navigates them to. In the example above, it won't offer them the RAN outpost so it shouldn't be a problem. I would think that those who understand what NACS is, for the most part, will already know that theirs isn't compatible...

Maybe it was different for me because I took delivery of an in-stock vehicle. I put deposit in on Tuesday, got a call 15 minutes later to come pick up, got the lease info on Wednesday, picked up on Friday. I actually had them change the terms (mileage) on Thursday. Picked up on Friday. Do...

I doubt it. Logistically, how would it be cooled? It would have to be hardwired in somehow so it isn't like it would be something you could add and remove regularly. I think, much like the Cybertruck's range extender, it will never see the light of day. It doesn't make sense.

It may seem trivial but there's a lot of different parts that go into making that cubby. I'm sure it's a LOT cheaper to have the simple, continuous, piece across the front with no cubby. As far as decontenting, I think this was a good move as most people probably don't use it.

I've parked my R1S with a valet a few times now. At least where I live, they're so used to Teslas that the keycard doesn't confuse them. They usually even have little pouches they slide the card into.

I noticed the Rivian Blue R1T when I watched it the other night. If you blink, you'll miss it.

I'm referring to the OEM one you get if you don't opt for the camp speaker. The OEM one does not lock. There's a function to "unlock" it on the main display but this allows you to remove the entire thing including the track it slides on. The track is what "locks" to the car. It doesn't...

Mine doesn't lock -- I keep my sunglasses in there and regularly open the drawer to get them out when driving. I don't use these cubbies under the seat because they're too small to hold anything. I wouldn't miss them if they were gone and I'm sure they save quite a bit by eliminating them. I...

There's a rear motor disconnect with a clutch on the dual motor versions. What is your configuration?

He got it from viewers to his Youtube channel(s). He has a massive following and his videos are monetized.

I saw these in action on my R1S about a week ago when I drove in a dark stretch of roadway for the first time. They don't do anything in a city setting where there's so much ambient light the car never switches into high beams but, out in dark areas where auto-highbeams activate, it's pretty...

Glad everything worked out for you. I was in Sedona the same weekend as you. I strongly disagree with your assessment of 400 miles range being necessary. I have the standard pack and drove out from SoCal with zero issues. Preparation is all that is needed. You'll not make the same mistakes next...

In theory, yes. In reality, it will probably only allow casting while the vehicle is in park.

Charging speed is literally the point of the 10% challenge. It's what this video was testing. This wasn't a review of Gen 2 R1T. He has other videos for that. I do a couple road trips a year so it isn't that important to me either BUT that's literally what he's testing in this video.

I wasn't ignoring your post. If the goal is to DC fast charge in the morning, I'd still plug it in overnight so the battery doesn't cold soak and I can get full DC fast charging speeds. I'd rather that and lose a few miles of range than have the battery freeze overnight and then spend the...

Unfortunately, sold out.
