  1. Official: Scout EV SUV & Pickup debut w/ Gas Range Extender EREV, 4x4, BOF, Lockers, Sway Bar Disconnect -- All Specs, Wallpapers, Videos

    Surprised they let her rattle through the brochure material like she did. Part of the charm of that channel is the organic shop-talk of cars. Not to say that promo-speak doesn't have a place, just not there.
  2. SoonishEV TubThumper (Rivian R1T Subwoofer Upgrade) & TopoCharge Gen2 Wireless Phone Charger Upgraded

    This is what I did. Took a bit of figuring, but I managed to map the door woofer (full range speaker) wire and then run that to an LOC. Then took those RCAs into the amp. But I also didn't go crazy with the sub. Dual voice coil 2ohm being pushed just under 300 watt peak. Not enough to exceed...
  3. Trading R1T for a Cadillac Lyriq?

    I have two friends, both with lyrics. The OG ones, fresh off the line, first in the Midwest. They love them. Software has gotten tons better, decent charging rates, Cadillac worthy interior. One of them came from an ls460, so high praise indeed.
  4. I bricked my R1S in the Oregon Outback - Learn from my mistake!

    You should also look at getting a TT-30 adapter for older campsites just in case you find yourself on a similar situation. Glad it worked out for you.
  5. "R2 excited?!" assembly / production photos from RJ

    I would agree with The Count that the "deals", while always appreciated, have never made any sense yet for me personally. Rivian seems to not understand the way sales tax works in many states, and how the max cap reduction on the lease is a huge disadvantage when it comes to trading in.
  6. Installing HomeAssistant to capture Rivian API data - DIY How-to

    Have you looked at the TWC manager integration and having an rs485 connector connected as a "master" for a Gen 2 wall charger? I'm not done yet, but it seems that with the HA modbus over tcp data, you can have the charger adjust amperage in real time as solar production fluxuates throughout...
  7. Anti-EV agenda

    30% increase in energy density over the current Samsung cells in our cars now. Certainly nothing to balk at.
  8. US Congress introduces ‘SAFE Exit Act’ targeting electronic doors

    Once again. The egress method for an emergency MUST be the same egress method you use every day. No reasonable person should be faced with having flashbacks to a glance at the manual or a brief conversation at delivery in order to save their god damn life. Make it manual, make it muscle memory...
  9. “Not One Single Percentage Point” of Degradation" - F150 Lightning charged to 100% every night

    I don't know. My original 90D battery is sitting at about 35% range loss at 225k miles. Most of those miles were under "spirited driving conditions".
  10. Farewell

    I think they expected, ”No wait, take me with you!”.....
  11. Level 3 Charging 2025-2026 for Rivian R1S May Require a $300 "Accessory"

    But this is what you wanted! Everyone was always complaining about "well I'm not buying it until it has a NACS connector". Well, here we are, it has the NACS adapter. Now, charging networks and manufacturers alike could have adopted NACS way before this. They've had plenty of time to do so...
  12. Inaccurate nav SOC prediction (wind?) on Clayton, NM to Pueblo, CO stretch

    I try to check windy.com on long trips. If the wind isnt in my favor by more than 10mph, then I drop my normal driving speed of 70-75, by 5mph just to mitigate it a bit.
  13. 2 weeks with PaaK that actually works........I'm still not 100% sold; but closer.

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but PAAK range and accuracy and reliability is working just shut as good as a Tesla key fob from 10 years ago. Truly a step in the right direction.
