Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. There’s a lot of energy (efficiency) lost all the way down the chain getting electricity from fossil fuel (or other) through the grid, through a local transformer to a battery.

As a fellow braking distance watcher, I’d like to hear what you think of those GYs once you install them.

I’m corn-fused. What are you saying? The way we compare gas and electric is to look at the efficiency of buying gasoline and using a generator to power our electric vehicles? That article is trying to find the most efficient fuel for generators, not how to compare gas vehicle efficiency to...

What? My understanding is mpge is simply comparing the energy output of a gallon of gasoline to kWh, which is assumed 33.7kWh per gallon gas (winter/summer blends are just below/above this number). That’s because 1gal gas is 120MBtu energy. 1kW = 3.412MBh, or about 35kW equals 120MBth/1gal gas...

My iPhone unlocking ranges from 7ft away to I stand there hand out waiting on the handle, which only goes out when I pull my phone out (usually when I’m at the phone Lock Screen still)

I’m sad my crow is gone. It was easier to hear than the owl, and with it double cawing it was more noticeable than the standard bird chirp.

I switched from stock 21s to 22s with the Defenders (115 not 119). Right from the start, I was seeing roughly equal to what the stock 22s would get. Note that I’ve got a few thousand on them, I’m getting roughly what I was with the 21s. You should be seeing a big drop in noise and maybe 3-7%...

If we’re going to post what we replaced stock with, then I feel obligated to post my Atomic Wheels creation.

This is great! I was hesitant without third party testing (and I posted wondering if the testing existed in their thread), but here we go. Thanks, and I agree with your mechanisms of filtration. I just have a presentation about HVAC air purification earlier this week. I saw mention in the...

My wife and I hated CC/AA, so I’m just fine without it myself as well. I still say that was the best looking and functionally sized smart phone I’ve ever had. Never mind the fact I could replace the battery without having to break the seal and peel it apart. (And I loved my Samsung Note 3...

Y’all need to get out of big box brands. Miele and other mid-high tier are much better at washing dishes. Subzero and other brands are way better refrigeration options as well. You gotta pay to play, but you’ll play for decades. Yale appliances and a bunch other appliance repair are online to...

I want to keep it on dark, but it’s too bright here in Arizona!

Finally. Music on the left driver’s screen.

I actually had slime and a worm like creature in mine. Tried adding some waterproofing measures and haven’t check it since (been busy)

The trick is to go with deeper filters to offset higher pressure drop; a 1” MERV8 has higher pressure drop and worse filtration than a 2” MERV13 (which is plenty for most people)

I’m curious if there’s any third party testing of the filter media? That would put any nay-sayers to bed. (I’m in the commercial HVAC side of things and not sure if there’s much regulation in vehicle filters)

Dang. 20% less sidewall in the front. Unless rivian lets us put in that size when they eventually allow us to switch wheel sizes in the computer on our own, that’s a lot of difference in overall diameter.

True, however as mentioned above, they could sell them only to manufacturers and not to third parties like Tire Rack. If that happens, Rivian could lock them to Gen 2 vehicles only.

I just want to be able to change the left driver display to show current music playing…

You’ve got a cooler right next to you in the center console! I like to toss a bag of ice in there just for extra’s sake. But as far as pet mode, I’ve found it really does a good job at keeping hostages happier and less likely to call for help.
