  1. Technology is great until it isn't

    Yep having the key card is what you need to do. I also would never leave the wallet in the car anyway because the possibility of theft. Even if I had a car with a traditional key fob and no mobile app I would still carry the key card in my wallet on me If the car had one
  2. Apple & Rivian Reportedly in Partnership Talks

    They would likely need to approve it but they would approve anything he brought to them. Remember the Apple is a 2.8 trillion dollar company. A 10 billion dollar acquisition would be the equivalent of someone with $100 spending $0.35 on something, it's practically nothing. I don't see how Apple...
  3. 20" Inch 20" Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

    I heard people were disappointed in the snow performance though, do you have experience there with the platinum? Super excited about the MS2s coming. The wear on our stock 20's has been ok so far, but they are getting noisy and I have a sever bias against Pirelli tires after years of suffering...
  4. Rivian NACS Adapters begin arriving!

    Am I the only one that keeps having this scene roll around in my head while we are talking about the adapters and pelican cases?
  5. Entire Tesla Supercharger team fired (Update: Elon Musk says supercharger network growth will continue). ** ⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS **

    Yea, I mean, there have to be meetings going on today in nearly every automaker with a whiteboard that says "What if two years from now every supercharger was no longer accessible by our customers?" and how to hedge that risk. Eventually there will be enough non-Tesla DCFC with NACS that while...
  6. Entire Tesla Supercharger team fired (Update: Elon Musk says supercharger network growth will continue). ** ⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS **

    I think that the news was so shocking that nobody was prepared to react, but now the reactions are coming in the form of news articles, word getting out what happened, etc. It really is a head shaker. A lot of Elon fanboys on reddit and twitter (before their posts are deleted off twitter) are...
  7. Entire Tesla Supercharger team fired (Update: Elon Musk says supercharger network growth will continue). ** ⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS **

    A lot of times those go out the window when you're laid off and are only in effect if you leave voluntarily. That said it does offer those employees more protection to not have to defend themselves.
  8. Entire Tesla Supercharger team fired (Update: Elon Musk says supercharger network growth will continue). ** ⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS **

    Pretty sure it's all outsourced already. I think the only stuff in house is the overall design of the chargers, strategy, probably some site selection, but more so site selection strategy that they then outsource for actual selection, "big" deals like the opening of the network to Ford...
  9. Entire Tesla Supercharger team fired (Update: Elon Musk says supercharger network growth will continue). ** ⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS **

    I believe I remember reading it in their corporate report (am I the only one in this thread who did the reading?), but checking the twitternets it is pretty easy to find that the engineering firm Black and Veatch has been under contract for some time on all the design engineering, permitting...
  10. Entire Tesla Supercharger team fired (Update: Elon Musk says supercharger network growth will continue). ** ⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS **

    I agree with some here that this is being overthought and I will start by saying I am not a fan of this and anything below is setting aside the crap deal the employees have gotten and just talking about the math/money. IMO, Tesla just had a bad quarterly earnings call. So Elon went to the Tech...
  11. Rivian - we are not abandoning Georgia

    Yup, TONs of homes. Disney was ready to make tons of concessions and upgrade infrastructure like highways, airports, etc (I was all ready for them to open just as I needed a college summer job), but the ran them out eventually and the state upgraded all the highways etc at taxpayer expense...
  12. Increases in your electricity bills?

    Our costs are about 25% of what gas would be so we pay around $50-$60 a month and would normally pay $200-$250 for gas. My wife has a short commute, but we runf the wheels off it on the weekend with errands, kids sports, etc. we do a few road trip each summer, but mostly all of our charging is...
  13. Charger recommendations anyone?

    Autel maxicharger direct wire with remote holster here, love the charger and the app...
  14. My Airbnb charging kit

    Nice, I see it on sale and a 10% of coupon too. I wish they would come out with a dcfc adapter, but that is much more complex :)
  15. RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps

    I've been paying more attention to the NE area lately as we approach our annual road trip to relatives just north of Concord NH. I have been watching the Epsom Circle station with Tesla and possible EA charges go in. I also have been watching the Hartford location which sounds like a blast with...
  16. Rivian Service turned off gear guard and left it off

    Maybe we aren't looking it it the correct way. They turn it off for corporate privacy/liability. Once it is off, turning it back on is a third party turning on a camera on your device without explicit permission to do so. We need to page the lawyers in here, but I feel like I could see someone...
  17. Charging on a 3 prong 240 outlet

    As was said above there is a special adapter for the TT fitting.. For the OP and anyone else there is a pretty good discussion in the Airbnb charging adapter thread here with links to adapters and discussion about using them in different situations...
  18. Rivian Service turned off gear guard and left it off

    Just adding that whenever I've had my car in for service they do put it in service mode and they take it back out of service mode but I've noticed it does not restore the motion camera being on.. I'm not sure if this is by design or a bug. As for why they put it in service mode I think it's...
  19. Rivian Sunshade

    I haven't used a car shade since I was in college and used to park my vehicle and a lot for an entire week all year, but if I were to buy one today for the Rivian I think it should be mandatory to get one like the cars eyes.... Gven for Tesla Model 3 Sunshade for Tesla Model Y Windshield...
