Oh...now I'm not sure how to answer. For my Rivian, once every 2-3 drives. For our current Tesla, 10-15 times over the last 8 years, zero times in the last 2-3 years.

Nothing's good enough for you, is it?

12+ amp continuous from a standard 120v receptacle is a LOT of heat. The wires are typically rated for 15A (at most 20A) and normally they have a sizeable buffer for continusous load. Over time it's not uncommon to get discoloration. I've been doing L1 charging for over 9 years, including a...

I wonder if it's possible to install a pull-strap fixed to the inner frunk lid; may help folks in wheelchairs get the hood to a manageable closing height.

Try a hard reboot (hold down the far-left button on the steering wheel and the hazard button together, for 5 or so seconds). Sometimes after updates, sensors or computers will fail to immediately come back online.

It's all asked and answered by now. There was a lot of talk when Max pack was first released, and also Gen2. Rivian was originally planning ~180kwh for max pack but that didn't pan out. Same with Cybertruck BTW. And over the last decade, people have figured out the EPA cycle and range estimates...

380 one way...man that's a haul. Have you seen the various range tests? This one is R1T Gen2 max pack aero wheels, in the winter. The video is a painful slog to sit through, but if you jump to the end of the test, you can see how far they go. Tl;dr: The result was something like 267 miles...

Changelog seems to be consistent with what was posted here earlier. I don't have a chance to check it out until tomorrow though....

Is this one-way, or is it 190 miles there, full charge, and 190 back? Kalamazoo to St. Louis is 200mi as the crow flies, so this is pretty important. Can you do 200 miles in one shot on a max pack in the cold? Yes, that's realistic esp. if you throw in a strategic 15-20min charge. Can you eke...

I’d say the two videos are consistent. An average guy can get it down with 1-2 fingers, but you need a bit more pressure to activate the soft-close.

Testing R2 closing pressure:

Ok just tried the R2 frunk. The open button is capacitive and right in front middle, similar to the charge door button. You can close with one finger, but the gas springs are quite resistive and solid. You do have to press down to get the electric latch to catch and finish closing. But...

Oh, that's totally fine. It opens and self-lifts most of the way on its own, you can use a single finger to lower it and it auto-latches when the frunk reaches the bottom. If they offered a "fully powered" paid option, I don't think I'd even bother springing for that.

Ah, does it self-rise, or is it just reduced-weight?

On the 3 Teslas we've had, we never, ever use the frunk. Manual open/close and extremely fragile hood skin (don't close it with one hand) is such a missed opportunity that they continually refuse to address (I cannot believe the new Model Y got powered....rear seat drop....over frunk)? On the...

Clearly you haven't witnessed my kids successfully interrupting my "Hey Google turn off the TV!" with loud and immediate "LALALALA!!!!"

Stuff like that could be gated to be while in Park or when stopped. For example, you can change drive modes via Assistant, but only when you're in Drive IIRC.

When we got our Tesla with FSD back in 2017-2018, the website had all kinds of wild claims about FSD being ready and only subject to regulatory approval, too. As well as capabilities. I feel you'd have to download/screencap everything to get a sense of what they were advertising, promising, and...

I had a previous navigation address that I wanted to go to again. I asked assistant "Can you navigate to the address on Elm street in [City] from my navigation history?" The response was "I couldn't find an address on Elm street in your navigation history." But when I manually tapped to in the...

I doubt this is changing in the hotfix, but I so want the turn signals to turn off earlier on lane changes, like once all your wheels cross the lane lines. I'm always squared away in the new lane for several seconds, wondering if the turn signals will auto-off or if I need to do so myself (and...
