Really? I wonder why they don't just make a motor with lots of poles. Those kinds of motors have lots of torque but not as much speed. It is the electrical equivalent of step-down gearing.

Not a big fan of the LE. Not the colors outside or inside, nor the options. So I opted for the adventure package and maxPack. Edit: I thought that you could only get the LE with the special green color, but it looks like you can get it with any of the interior/exterior colors. I still want the...

I sure wish Rivian put their motors in the hub. That with a high-pole motor would make the most reliable system. No diff, no tranny, no gears of any kind. Just two cone bearings.

Then your cat will exist in a superposition of both alive and dead until you open the door and force it into one state or another.

Is this scotty killmer the mechanic guy on Youtube?

Especially since they could implement it with a software module in the infotainment system. The truck already has accelerometer sensors and brake position sensors.

And could be more dangerous. Hopefully the built-in brake controller will balance between regen and trailer brakes to maximize regen without creating a dangerous situation. It could use the accelerometers to sense any lateral acceleration in the rear of the vehicle to push the balance to the...

The regen recovers energy from forward momentum. So it doesn't matter if that forward momentum comes from mass in the vehicle or trailer. It does matter how much trailer brake is applied, because that is completely wasted energy.

I'm not saying to force home charger stations to be high power DC. I'm just saying to rectify it on the charging end so that you only need two power pins no matter what. You need to rectify it at some point, and it doesn't make it magically cheaper to do it in the car instead of on the wall...

I think they determined that the new numbers don't really track anymore.

The CCS pinout in Europe is different than the CSS pinout in North America. There is a "Type 1" and "Type 2". And we had to be different. Because of course we did. Just like we had to have a different digital TV standard than the DVB-T standard the rest of the world uses.

Unfortunately, CCS won. I really wish Tesla had opened up their design to everyone from the beginning, because it is technically superior. The CCS system combines pins from old AC chargers plus a set of DC pins on the bottom. Which makes the whole thing rather clunky. AC charging should have...

Which time zone?

Truck with adventure and max pack. Ordered November 2020 I would guess delivery will be sometime around July 2022

Well, to the extent this info is accurate, here is my number: 13,826 @ November 2020
