  1. What I learned from my 12V battery swap

    I agree but since the 12v can go dead while the HV battery still has po I don’t dispute that but seems it’s not that simple as their are cases where the HV system has power and the 12v does not. Hyundai might have a method to force the connection when the inverter is not sending power to the...
  2. What I learned from my 12V battery swap

    We need this…. “HYUNDAI CONNECTED THE 12-VOLT SYSTEM TO THE HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY TO ALLOW ITS CARS TO JUMP-START THEMSELVES.” Sorry for the caps. Was a copy/paste thing.
  3. Best product for plastic trim / bumpers?

    It’s more protectant than cleaner but it cleans fairly well. I’ve never had any bad water spot issues so no direct experience to share sorry. On the flip side it will prevent them. I use it on every surface on my cars that isn’t painted. It’s great stuff. Keeps all the plastics…and the...
  4. Clicking at low speed, loud humming at high speed

    Same. Taking mine in on the April 19th to be fixed. Sounds like my back passenger side is where my issue is. How long did they have the truck? Glad they know how to fix this!
  5. The first (and only) Aero Spoke Inserts for Rivian R1T / R1S 20" All-Terrain Wheels!

    Your initial post said “reduce your open wheel surface area (ie reduce aero drag)”. That is implying greater efficiency. No argument there. I am sure it does. How much you can reduce aero drag is a question. If you are marketing them that way the how much do I save question is one angle...
  6. 2 week old R1T will no longer charge

    The most super unhelpful message ever.
  7. The first (and only) Aero Spoke Inserts for Rivian R1T / R1S 20" All-Terrain Wheels!

    So this is very much a cosmetic thing then! Ha ha. That said I do like the looks.
  8. The first (and only) Aero Spoke Inserts for Rivian R1T / R1S 20" All-Terrain Wheels!

    What would be the average ROI, in miles, for the efficiency gains that are predicted? They look cool but trying to decide if these are a good deal. Same calculation an airline goes through when adding winglets.
  9. The first (and only) Aero Spoke Inserts for Rivian R1T / R1S 20" All-Terrain Wheels!

    What does the computational fluid dynamics system report for drag reduction?
  10. My Rivian completely dead from ~40% vampire drain after a month long vacation

    Maybe we all will get a fat check one day for all the bitcoin they have been mining using the onboard GPU while the vehicles are sitting. Gotta get something in return for all the juice they burn. I would argue the vehicle is never really idle.
  11. My Rivian completely dead from ~40% vampire drain after a month long vacation

    Surprised they don’t have a super deep sleep protocol that gets initiated at some critical threshold. Eventually nothing else matters beyond staying alive long enough to have the ability to charge. Vampire drain is bad. Vampire drain to oblivion is just next level stupid. It probably did LTE...
  12. Screen Protectors For Rivian Display

    Not looking to stir the pot but I personally don’t know what I would need a screen protector for? What are the top use cases for these? I just ceramic coated mine to help with cleaning and finger prints and it seems fine to me.
  13. My First and Likely Last Post

    Where I live the Y is solidly in Ford Taurus wagon territory. Dime a dozen family car. Oh look a Tesla. Words that have not been uttered in years. Not saying it’s bad. It’s vanilla.
  14. My First and Likely Last Post

    “I’d even argue that an R1S is not in the same market as a MY” They are not. One looks like an off road capable SUV with lots of space…..and the other looks like an egg with wheels! Ha ha
  15. R1S - first test drive impression

    800+ horse power and 4 motors vs an X45e. My Vette is louder than our Jeep too. Is that a worthy trade off is the question? Power still equals noise in most cases I believe.
  16. Adaptive Cruise Control unavailable due to rain

    Get used to it is my feedback…unfortunately
  17. PPF question - spend $7k to put a clear PPF on $80k vehicle?

    Personally I just do the forward facing surfaces. I have had some nice cars and never needed it anywhere else. For the few times I off-road I just use my Porter polisher to get the scratches out. The only non-removable scratches I ever got on a car would not have been prevented by PPF. This...
