  1. Video: Rivian house power backup of critical loads WITHOUT waiting for bi-directional charging to be implemented by Rivian

    “Power house for weeks” Then reads thread about vampire drain killing battery in 2 weeks or less not powering anything. I like the work around but the lack of automation is a hassle. It would be nice if you could have it power from 220v vs a 120v extension cord. 800-1300w of charging is...
  2. Monoprice powered cooler

    I really like Massimo coolers/fridges. They have compressor up top (heat rises) which is optimal. Run on 45w at 12v but also runs on 120v. Have sizes 25-65q and also have solar and battery options natively. I had a Massimo cooler run non stop for 2.5 years before I sold it in fully functioning...
  3. Driving in Blizzard with Fog Lights

    I’ve always tapped my fog lights to trigger with parking lights so I would just run parking or DLR’s and fog when needed and then could enable headlights which would keep fog lights on as well.
  4. opnwide's Frozen Silver Bullet R1S is here--Party in the Frunk! (w/ video of full size spare tire in cargo)

    Love this. Also has me considering silver from white now. Those 20’s look sick on that set up.
  5. Show us your Mountain/Gravel/Road Bike MTB - Rivian Style!

    I like my dork disc. It lets people underestimate my riding ability. I did take off the spoke reflectors though. They were truly marvelous to look at! PS: don’t be jelly of my 0% vampire drain car. It gets me A to B with no issues - ever.
  6. Show us your Mountain/Gravel/Road Bike MTB - Rivian Style!

    eMTB Tazer MX Pro. Love this bike. Makes riding accessible. I’m young but I appreciate getting home and not being totally wiped out.
  7. NAVIGATION MORE IMPORTANT THAN GEN Z THINKS

    OP: I’m surprised you can’t spell surprised. Even with autocorrect and spell check widely available.
  8. Tesla Price Cuts Across The Board

    Let’s talk about that 11k difference. People are paying 10k to get additional range for a Rivian. The MX has access to reliable super charger network which makes that additional range need obsolete. So paying $11k to have that + years of refinement and development + better GUI/AP, seems like No...
  9. Home Solar Battery and V2H

    House batteries have a ROI of like 20 Years in CA PGE rates. Most are only rated for 10 years of use at 80%. So in short, even if you waited 2 years for V2H capability, you’re better off than putting in any sort of house batteries. However, the house batteries will be a better option if you’re a...
  10. Model X vs R1S

    Nice. Rivian is F’d. If they can get the X down to 79,990 to qualify for tax credit, it will be game over.
  11. ? 2022 Q4 and Full-Year Earnings Results & Shareholder Letter: 50K production goal for 2023, ~400 Mile Range for Max Pack

    So dual motor is a 10% efficiency gain over quad motors it appears. And max pack is a 15% increase over large pack. Wonder if they just changed battery material to get the range rather than increasing battery size.
  12. Which is better? constant 70% vs up & down btw 70% - 20% ?

    If I lived in an area with common natural disasters, I would do the same. If not only for having V2H capacity let alone being able to GOOD.
  13. Wall charger included in MSRP?

    Tesla wall connector is better anyway. Get that instead and save vs. Rivian charger.
  14. Which is better? constant 70% vs up & down btw 70% - 20% ?

    I do option B with Tesla. Just easier than plugging in each day. I make sure to have about 100 miles of states range so I have enough to make two round trips to the hospital if ever needed in emergency for something. We also have a super charger between here and the highway within 5 minutes if...
  15. Illinois R1S all season floor mats, Yellow logo

    Engine cleaner will make mats look new and might increase odds of sale.
  16. Tire pressure and ride quality

    I do this for our MY. Run at 36-37 rather than 42.
