I have not had my speaker docked in my truck for many months. It's purely for use at home, charged via USB-C. My complaints still stand.

This is the first I've heard of anyone having a fully working camp speaker. The Bluetooth on mine is flaky as hell, it sometimes takes more than ten seconds to react to the power button being pressed, I frequently have to force reset with a long-press of the pairing button, and if I turn on the...

No, but I'm in Maui now so shipping will be expensive. I had forgotten about this post.

Found a Rivian in a dirt lot on Maui at a volunteer event for assembling bikes for kids from Lahaina. Mine is the pretty one. I admit to lusting after CR, but I haven't seen any of those on the island and I'm glad I don't stick out too much.

My efficiency has dropped substantially since moving from Seattle to Maui, where I'm currently living at 1,800 feet above sea level. All time stats (4,700 miles including 2,700 miles of Seattle driving) 2.70 mi/kWh 20 mph (rarely above 60mph even on highways due to traffic) Highway, city...

Partial credit ☺️ The orange and cream one is Duke, Rizzo's older half brother, and yes he's the instigator! Rizzo is 99% deaf and can only hear loud noises, so Duke alerts her whenever something interesting is going on. They've got a great dynamic ?

Duke and Rizzo love adventures! We like to take them kite flying, but we have to be careful on windy days not to get the dogs stuck up in a power line.

I just received my SplitVolt NEMA 14-30 / 14-50 smart switch. https://splitvolt.com/products/splitvolt-safety-certified-splitter-switch-nema-14-30-14-50 It allows me to use my dryer or charge the EV using the dryer appliance outlet, which is NEMA 14-30 in the rental I'm in. They also sell 10-30...

I get the limited regen warning coming down the slope of Haleakala from 1800' to 80' over 9 miles. The temperature has ranged from the 70s on departure to high 80s on arrival closer to sea level. My SoC was 70% on departure today. Typically the limited regen is still good enough to honor the...

I've had very mixed experiences with Bellevue. In one case they saw me immediately to address a window stuck open. In other cases they tried twice to fix NVH issues and both times they left grease smudges on my windshield, dash and sun visor, and left one seatbelt reeking of cologne, all while...

I can't do a full charge at home until my dryer smart switch arrives. It's still a clunky solution that requires I leave my interior garage door ajar for a very long NEMA 14-50 extension cord. I'd rather have been able to rely on fast charging. Many other EV owners here don't even have the...

The driver had the AC set to max cool. I presume the truck lost some charge when being driven off the ship, onto the barge, etc. combined with AC loss. The loss was higher than I expected but better than I had feared.

I scratched and tore my gear tunnel PPF with my bicycle pedal. Can it be repaired with a heat gun or should I just plan to remove it?

I want my second vehicle to be an EV with only 100 miles of range. Heavy vehicles wear tires faster and pollute via tire dust. Plus the grid here is partially powered by diesel generators, so an inefficient EV like my R1T isn't helping the environment if I have to charge at night. I'm renting my...

The driver I spoke with was estimating 50 across all islands. I'm guessing at least a dozen on Maui. I did not ship the crossbars attached. The truck is supposed to be put in Sport / Lowest suspension for adequate clearance, so I wouldn't risk leaving the crossbars on. I cleared out our truck...

It'll be introduced on Twitter with Elon holding a bowline. Knot funny.

Likewise I have appreciated your advice about Hawaii as well. Good luck with your vehicle shipping!

Back in Seattle I would throw a shaka ? at any Rivian I saw. I can't really do that here in Maui, it's already a common driver hand signal. Maybe I should throw rock horns ? Or you could just honk at me, since nobody here uses their horn. I hope to see you around some time before you move ☺️

My truck got to take an exciting trip without me. My wife and I have moved to Maui from Seattle, and we explored a number of options for getting our truck there. Here's a short version and a long version of the story. TL;DR - The truck made it to Maui safely after 27 days in transit, and lost...
