  1. Car and Driver Review: 2022 Rivian R1S Has Appeal, but the R1T Pickup Drives Far Better

    There were Rivian guides that did a drive of R1S and R1T to the northern most point in North America on the west coast. They were the first EV vehicles to do so. Was a 3000+ mile journey from California up through Canada. I am surprised the PR on this wasn't released yet. Maybe it was research...
  2. Battery Nerd Alert - R1T and Home Backup

    There are two companies in Colorado that have promised / protoryped exactly that. I believe one is called teardrop Colorado. Cannot recall the other at the moment.
  3. FM radio disconnected / odd media player icons

    Haven't tested any cards. Guess I should. The same/similar FM issue persists after the Halloween update. Another case was opened since the error is different with the new FM feature. A new picture of the new error message was shared as well. Rivian Support called and a diagnostic was captured...
  4. New product teaser...

    Interesting bed and tailgate material...
  5. Android Auto Hack

    Guess ignorance is bliss. I have no desire for carplay or android auto - guess cause I only used older versions and don't know what I am missing.
  6. Battery Nerd Alert - R1T and Home Backup

    Buy a charger, plug-in to truck outlets and connect to batteries in powerwall. Or is powerwall meant to be a specific proprietary product VS a generic term?
  7. Battery Nerd Alert - R1T and Home Backup

    OH! And those inverters can be run without issue if only using L1 without L2 or vice versa? Still same power output if only using L1 or only L2? I believe the "better" Eg4 models can charge from multiple sources, but I believe only 1 source at a time. Many buy chargers to charge batteries...
  8. Battery Nerd Alert - R1T and Home Backup

    A split phase transformer aka autotransformer which will take in the 240 single phase and output two 120 single phase that are 180 degrees separated (opposite). Need to be careful and balance loads so one phase isn't overloaded and the neutral doesn't exceed rated capacity. If loads are equal on...
  9. Battery Nerd Alert - R1T and Home Backup

    The Eg4 batteries from signature solar can be had slightly cheaper during sales. This is an awful comparison on price. Not portable, no outlets, no 120 loads without a transformer. Price becomes similar at that point. However, different purposes and consumer market.
  10. Anyone used the on-board compressor to blow out their sprinklers?

    Buy a pancake compressor - buy a 100lb propane tank - buy parts to enable pancake compressor to fill propane tank - hook propane tank to sprinkler blowout and fire away - rinse repeat That'll give enough cfm if you don't want to rent a 100cfm at 40psi compressor or pay someone else
  11. 【New Products OTW】We are BestEvMod(AOSK)! We made accessories, More Products OTW...

    If the mold is light and easy to move, shouldn't be an issue. Tissue and trashcan towards frunk with cup holders closest to speaker would work best IMO. The camp speaker works great for me and has the best range of Bluetooth I've ever experienced (hundred yards in different golf carts), but I...
  12. What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    I wonder if there is a reg or lawyer thing on that one. I've seen 5 series and 911s do the same thing.
  13. 【New Products OTW】We are BestEvMod(AOSK)! We made accessories, More Products OTW...

    If you can make the mold have a small trash can, tissue box holder, and two larger cup holder (for thermos / yeti style), I think every R1T owner with a family will buy one
  14. FM radio disconnected / odd media player icons

    Need to enable Alexa (they're listening anyways). Tell Alexa to play whatever you want on Amazon music. Alexa app in truck - sign in to your Amazon account.
  15. Rivian R1S Motor Trend Review: Arguably the best three-row EV, but it's still flawed.

    That is not recommended as it can trap heat in the glass (assuming the ceramic is going inside) . I don't experience issues in the R1T, but the glass is smaller. The headrests are cool at noon in direct sun.
  16. FM radio disconnected / odd media player icons

    I heard that a hot fix is coming which may or may not have a fix for FM. Ironically I only cared about FM to listen to a local broadcast. Amazon music is all I really use. AT&T signal has been strong and I don't have to deal with crappy Bluetooth. If/when I can Bitstream direct from a USB C...
  17. FM radio disconnected / odd media player icons

    Supposedly 46 nm was the previous stock/factory torque. Now 120. Big change
  18. FM radio disconnected / odd media player icons

    After the truck slept, I was able to get Alexa and Amazon music working again. FM still doesn't work and same issue exists with wrong icon.
  19. FM radio disconnected / odd media player icons

    Tech came out. Front driver tire was at 46nm and front passenger was 61. They were both torqued to 120. The tech soft reset 3 times and hard reset once. FM is not fixed and now Alexa / Amazon music does not work at all. Fantastic!
