  1. Picked up my R1T replacement for Rosie, purchasing from Lindsay VW, and the 1400 Mile Journey Home

    I think that RAN charging fees are billed to the default credit card on the owner's Rivian account. In your case, the previous owner might get billed.
  2. Interior Care Kit by Dr. Beasley's now in Rivian Gear Shop

    I saw several stuffed naugas in the window of a furniture store in Denver in 1968. Really! Were they driven to extinction by over hunting or loss of habitat?
  3. Battery Manufacturers moving away from EVs

    I'm helping. I have a Tesla Powerwall. I'm considering getting an expansion module. There iis a rebate offer that expires this month. Bye the way. My financial TVM calculations show that the payback period is infinite unless energy prices soar. I just think that it's cool.
  4. What's your tint?

    Infrared blocking window tint will keep heat from escaping the car as well as keeping it from entering. This is good in cool weather. There is more energy in the visible wavelengths of sunlight than the infrared wavelengths. Visible light wavelength in sunlight enter the car through the glass...
  5. I've FIXED/(Modified) The frustrating Camp Speaker

    Oh, by the way, I think that those square diaphragm thingies are "passive radiators." That's a misnomer because they don't necessarily radiate significant sound. They are analogous to the port in a bass-reflex speaker design. They work with the internal volume of the speaker housing to lower the...
  6. I've FIXED/(Modified) The frustrating Camp Speaker

    I would like a good long-range AM/shortwave radio in place of the camp speaker. It could be an SDR controlled by an app. It woul have an external antenna input. I have a CCrane Radio 2E. It works great at night in the boonies.
  7. Valet mode-anyone interested?

    Also, lockout access to center console storage and camp speaker.
  8. Autonomy+ Poll: Will you be buying / subscribing to it?

    I bought gen 2 launch edition, so I a already have it.
  9. R2 prototype in the wild with roof rack (2/26/26 @ Redwood City)

    GPS receivers that access the military "p" code are classified by the DOD ( i guess DOW now). They are rarely used, since the loss of one requires changing the encryption codes for the entire fleet. It would be impossible for a civilian to get one. There are available systems that are capable of...
  10. Any SoCal electricians want to make a buck? Pre-wired EV garage charger.

    Like most wall chargers the dip switches for setting the max current are inside thee housing. A tool is required ta access them. They are not going to be changed by accident. If you are worried put a note inside the case. If you are not confident, have an electrician install the charger. The...
  11. Class Action Notice - Officially NOT submitting a claim!

    I frequently receive these notifications.. I used to apply to join the suit. I have decided that it is not worth it. It takes considerable time and research to find the documents to prove that you are a member of the class. You send all of the stuff off and several weeks later you get a small...
  12. GMRS antenna placements - which option is better?

    I have a UV-PRO HT, the ham radio HT version of the GMRS-50PRO (got the model wrong before.) I haven't noticed any activation delay with the BS-52 Bluetooth speaker/microphone. The delay you noticed might be due to the radio sending a squirt of data when you push tht PTT. You can turn it off...
  13. GMRS antenna placements - which option is better?

    You can get a longer antenna eg 5/8 or 1/2 wave, that is designed to work without a ground plane. It will be about 16 in long rather than the 7 inches for the 1/4 wave antenna. That could cause a clearance problem for the rooftop. You could alse use a ditch light bracket. Note that there is...
  14. GEN 1 R1T Home Charging Frustrations

    Don't do that. It could damage your vehicle if the safety circuits don't prevent charging altogether.
  15. GEN 1 R1T Home Charging Frustrations

    It is common to wire commercial buildings with 208 V 3 phase, Y connected. In this scheme, there are 4 wires plus protective ground (L1, L2, L3, N, G). The voltage between any two of the three lines is 208 V. The voltage between any one of the three lines and neutral is 120 V. There is no...
  16. EV Brands-Cost of Ownership

    Here in Utah we have the option of paying a fixed EV fee at registration or paying a fee based on milage.
  17. Routing power from Gear Tunnel to Bed, keeping Tonneau V2

    R1 has a 120 V 1500 W inverter, so about 12.5 A max. I think that what you want is not possible.
  18. R1 Gen 3 - Wish list

    For those that don't know, solid state batteries use a combination of polymeric electrolytes and liquid electrolyte. They are safer, because there is less nasty liquid. The plates (electrodes) can be spaced closer to each other, to reduce the physical size of the stack; he gravimetric density...
  19. Climate pre-conditioning from the app

    I'm guessing that the internet connection goes to sleep after a while so the cabin temperature is not being updated. You can try waking the car. That usually fixes it for me.
