  1. Rivian's smart software logic saves me from myself

    Do you recommend this particular model? That's a pretty low price for a full-featured bidet seat.
  2. Rivian's smart software logic saves me from myself

    Yes it does. If you open the charge door from inside, but take too long to insert the charger, it will close the charge door.
  3. electrek: Electricity is about to become the new base currency and China figured it out [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    "Nothing is going to change that fact..." You mean, other than wise and judicious use of the resources we have. The population isn't "too big for the water supply" - if the water isn't wasted. However, I do agree that there are too many people in the world. I recommend that 50% of the world's...
  4. electrek: Electricity is about to become the new base currency and China figured it out [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Again. Fresh water is a limited resource in many parts of the world. Additional rain falling over the ocean, because fresh water was turned to steam inland, doesn't help combat water shortages. Especially when aquifers (which were filled over millennia) are being drained of water. If rain was...
  5. electrek: Electricity is about to become the new base currency and China figured it out [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Or when you farm in the desert - farming uses more water per acre than cities. But wasting water by turning it into steam makes even less sense than either of those - especially when there are alternatives that make electricity without turning water into steam.
  6. 2025.46 Update Teased: Customizable Driver Display for Gen 1 and Gen 2

    Just how not "great for the battery" is sitting at high SOC for seven hours or so? Edit: Or four or five - whatever amount of time it happens to be. Reports I have seen about real world EVs don't seem to back up all the fear mongering about high SOC. I guess I'll find out, myself, in a few...
  7. electrek: Electricity is about to become the new base currency and China figured it out [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Spoken like someone who lives where there is an unlimited amount of precipitation or surface water. I live in Arizona. There is a limited amount of water - evaporating it is wasting it - it won't result in additional rainfall here. Sure, it still exists *somewhere*, but not here. That's like the...
  8. electrek: Electricity is about to become the new base currency and China figured it out [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    " Much of electricity production requires wasting water to turn turbines. Solar panels and wind turbines do not, so shifting electricity production to those will leave more water for other uses." Into the air. Most utility scale plants (coal, natural gas, nuclear, concentrated solar) have...
  9. XCare Extended Warranty on Rivian: My Full Claim Experience (And Outcome)

    Why would "wear and tear" not be covered? Damage from an external source - sure, that wouldn't be covered, but normal wear and tear should be.
  10. electrek: Electricity is about to become the new base currency and China figured it out [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Much of electricity production requires wasting water to turn turbines. Solar panels and wind turbines do not, so shifting electricity production to those will leave more water for other uses.
  11. 12V Battery Replacement Megathread

    Your Rivian will wake up to charge the 12V battery, when the level drops too low. The sleep/wake-up cycle increases vampire drains. The level to which the 12 battery is allowed to drop, and the number of charge cycles, decreases the life span of the 12V battery. Other users have reported longer...
  12. 12V Battery Replacement Megathread

    The exact C&D DCS battery is not available in the US. I already tried that. I ordered two, and then they got back to me, saying that they were listed as available by mistake, and that there just hadn't been the demand in the US to have those batteries available here.
  13. Comma xnor harness kit cost; non-magnetic mount option

    I expected, when I bought it, that the R1T would have the basic capability that Comma does, but Gen 1 never will.
  14. 12v Lead Acid Battery Replacement

    I think I can answer that - a poorly designed 12V system which causes early battery failure, compounded by a difficult (or impossible) to source replacement battery, compounded by an "all service must be done by our techs" mentality (right down to the error code must be reset by our techs)...
  15. 12v Lead Acid Battery Replacement

    My Rivian, my preciousss... ;) I am assuming it was intended to be "my previous ones."
  16. 12v Lead Acid Battery Replacement

    Who was the author? Searching for "random" and "book" yields random book generators and suggestions, etc.
  17. Custom Made Rivian R1T Truck Cap Topper (Autofitpro) Group Buy - Interested?

    Yep. Have to grab it within the first couple of seconds, while the latch is open. It is my understanding that this is normal - it certainly has been for mine (both sides) for the 2.5 years I've owned it.
  18. Why can't they retrofit existing R1's with NACS?

    Why would you think that Rivian would do this kind of retrofit for $500? They quoted me $900 to replace two small AGM batteries, which would take maybe 1/2 an hour. My guess is that it would cost closer to $10k to do that retrofit, if Rivian decided to offer it. There likely wouldn't be many...
  19. Why can't they retrofit existing R1's with NACS?

    It'd be simpler, and far less expensive to add a second charger.
