What's possible: 1) ability to add more or customize which apps stay displayed as shortcuts on the bottom of the screen. I use my cameras a lot and I hate having to click more, then the app. Would rather be able to pin it as a shortcut in addition to the other apps. Similarly would also be cool...

Was of this mindset too. But I'm planning a trip from LA to AZ in a couple weeks and doing research about how limited the CCS infrastructure is. Watched out of spec reviews video on that route Sunday and how bad it is. Then just noticed two RAN chargers went live a couple days ago on the...

I just don’t think there is a big enough market for ~50 mile range EVs that require the planning and effort to go rent extra range. If there was a market for that, you’d already see ~50 mile range EVs everywhere because we already have an easy way to rent more range…Hertz. However, having...

Having had Android Auto in every car I’ve driven for about 7 years, not having it was a big deal for me going in. However, I don’t miss it as much as I thought. And after watching that interview with their head of software, I like the idea of them just being laser focused on building their own...

Well I'm in the market for an EV that can comfortably carry 5 people that has good technology features. While a crossover would do, a mid-sized SUV would be preferable, so totally realistic to expect people would cross shop both IF a crossover would do. Because I own an R1T, the extra cargo of...

Some odd posts about you cant cross shop an R1S and Model Y…I’m 100% cross shopping an R1S and a Model Y. I need an EV to replace a 7 seat mid-sized ICE SUV. The R1S and the MY both do that job. Now the R1S certainly does things a MY can’t, but still does the core job and for a LOT less money. I...

Wow. Was literally pricing mid-sized SUV EVs this morning (including my R1S reservation). But while I dont nessasarly prefer the Model Y over the others, the value for the money was pretty significant. Was thinking the MY was going to be my next purchase. Fast forward 12 hours and its $3k...

@EV Sportline any plans on doing covers for the AT dark/bright wheels? Thanks

Only regret is no under body shield. I’ve never needed it, but wish I had it. I think CY, 20" darks, and OC is the absolute best combo and I’m so happy I took the risk on CY sight unseen.

I took it to a Rivian Certified place today. They are going to file a supplemental for a new bumper (gloss black part). While USAA assumed it could be fixed (small dent / missing paint), they said it wont look right. Hopefully that's not a big fight. They were able to bend back the clip and push...

That's a great idea. I'll look into that. Thanks!

Yep. they did itemize it. The thing I think they may have missed is if the top corner of the front end that's sticking out. They are assuming it can just be pushed back in vs needing parts. That's TBD

Rivian deferred me to a to a 3rd party Rivian certified collision center. However, your note gives me the idea that perhaps I go though the service center on replacing the headlight and if the clips are not broken push back in the bumper only. The paint/dent work could be done by someone else...

While any extension cord will "work" (as in it will connect and charge) it doesn't mean it's safe. For sure don't use anything less than a 12 gauge, but I personally would (and have) go with a 10 gauge. And keep the length to an absolute minimum (e.g. don't get a 50Ft when you need 20Ft). I used...

lol actually I never would have thought about keeping it, but it still works. might be a cool light for my office wall. Just wire it up to a 12v power supply. Thanks for the idea! And sorry, I'm keeping it! :)

Right. Ironically, the actually part that poked my R1T's right eye out was the protruding backup cam that should have saw the impending collision coming. After taking another look at this picture, I'm thankfully it wasn't a "rear-end" collision ;)

I also just finished my first trip. About 1k miles from South CA to North CA and back. Some of my thoughts and lessons learned: Public charging: Most of my charging was on EA stations. I did the $4 membership the day before leaving and according to EA, I saved $40 on the trip, so 100% a must...

Galaxy S22+ here and I can confirm the camp speaker does charge my phone just like a normal battery bank. Edit: @SSteveEV is your camp speaker on? It does need to be on to deliver the charge back to your phone. Also, I can confirm it charges my ipad Pro just fine too.

No my insurance is USAA, their insurance is AAA. No fault has been determined yet, but Im sure the other driver will be determined at fault, so AAA will ultimately pay. I started the process with my insurance, USAA, and was going to let them sort it out.

Yeah I thought about that. And completely agree about the risk, but at the moment my plan is: 1. Not drive in the rain (I’m not seeing any rain in the forecast for the next 10 days) 2. If it does rain, cover it up with plastic + tape + park on drive way facing down + dont drive it If you are...
