Parents would pay extra for this, I imagine.

I'm in Phoenix (so--hot) on a 40amp charger and don't see anything like this. All the fans will kick up in my garage (which isn't all that insulated, so probably still at least 100 degrees most of the time) but it's still pulling close to 20 miles an hour or so. I'd have to double check, but...

Semi-related: I don't think my truck retains any of the set navigation when "recalculating." I.e. I search for a location in town and am presented with a couple of options on the screen. I tap one of the routes (not the default) because I'd like to take a different way. I start to leave the...

This makes total sense from me having grown up on the West Coast of Michigan. Basically, every weekend during the summer everyone from Chicago with the means to escape goes around Lake Michigan and to points north. Since Rivian is based in Illinois, I have to believe a ton of their executives...

Is that EA station down often? My mom lives in Milton and I thought about driving there someday (from Arizona,) but there are some spots along the route where charging is a concern. Though by next year I suppose I'll have a Supercharger adapter...

Incidentally, this screenshot in another blog post (https://www.mapbox.com/blog/mapbox-3d-navigation) really makes me hope they update the dashboard video game screen: And the original they compared it to looks very similar to the Rivian view Just remove the buttons around the edges and...

Same, but with H&R block online. Was pretty simple. Amended it in early March and still just processing. IRS is now saying 20 weeks instead of 16 as a ballpark, which has already felt like an eternity. Hopefully it works out -- Though I got my truck early enough this year that I think I would...

Oh I'm sure Tesla is going to try to get their cut from manufacturers by charging API access on the backend for payments or something. Would be disappointing but not surprising. I wonder if they're hoping to get any Inflation Reduction Act money from opening their chargers this way with an...

Yeah, this seems like the bigger news here. If Tesla is making an adapter for Ford (as an article on The Verge indicates,) I suspect that it will be available for anyone. So every vehicle that already has CCS can just use the adapter. And any manufacturer can choose to put whatever ports they...

Bandit. Kid loves Bluey, truck is blue and white. Bandit it became. License plate BANDR1T.

There is an opt-out for some data collection. I opted out when I was signing my paperwork. I imagine it covers this type of thing. I hope. I work with these reporters and I know them to be incredibly good and thorough, so I'm certain it's all true and more...

Saw this and amended my return to include my R1T that was delivered a few weeks ago. Here's hoping they just give me a check for $7,500 soon.

I live in a condo and basically can't have a 240v outlet. I do have a 120v outlet near my parking spot that we've used for the past year on our Jeep 4xe without any problems. Oddly, the Rivian keeps tripping the GFCI on the outlet while the Jeep never has. I'm not sure why that is, I've tried...

Could just be selfish reasons for the executives, management, and workers in Illinois. So many people own summer homes in Northern Michigan and I imagine that includes lots of Rivian employees. And since the charging infrastructure is awful there, it's a win-win. And the secretary of...

Also, I've found that if you have a service linked through Amazon to play on an Echo at home, it can also play in the truck. I was able to play from a Pandora subscription by asking Alexa something like "Alexa, play Imagine Dragons on Pandora." I'm hopeful that my MLB subscription will also work...

Yeah, so I've been doing albums and playlists because I couldn't get the stations to work (admittedly I only tried a few times while driving and decided to give up.) They do have some decent "Remembering the XX's" type of playlists, but I prefer stations so I can do the Pandora-style "Hey, I...

Yeah, this is what I use. Have you found the correct incantation to have it play 'stations' within Amazon Music? When I ask for a station it turns on the FM radio for some reason. For whatever reason all of these music apps don't mesh with how my brain wants to use them, so I can never quite...

When I picked mine out of the shop (near exact config as what I ordered, just different tires) it was at my local service center already I think. I ordered and picked up 3 days later. So you may not have to go anywhere.

Man, that Phoenix station is like a mile from me. I live in a condo with only a 120v outlet, so that'll be nice.

I also like this bit on page 139. A lot of info about the charger needs to be made publicly available via API. Including things like geolocation, real-time status, pricing, whether or not a vehicle with a trailer can access it, and more. Will make it much easier for 3rd party apps to include...
