  1. What kind of efficiency are you getting in your R1?

    True, but it's the most accurate reflection of your actual energy usage and no different than how ICE vehicles calculate trip efficiency. Energy spent on auxiliary loads overnight get counted next time you turn the car on and burn more gas running the alternator to recharge the 12V. It's just...
  2. Raptor bedliner sprayed R1T

    What's the point here, protecting the paint? I get it for steel rigs that rust when they get scratched, but you can scratch aluminum body panels all day long without having to worry about corrosion. Take pride in your pin stripes and move on with life :cool:. And if they did it for...
  3. Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

    Lol so they did go with a run/pause cycle to measure! That's what you'd expect for an automatic system, but bummer that it's going to take that much longer to fill. Were the cycles adaptive? If they did it right, it should measure, run for a very short time, measure again, and then adjust the...
  4. Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

    Obviously. They *can't* get an accurate measurement while it's still flowing using existing hardware, and pausing to measure wastes time, so we're back to square one - use it as is, figure out the difference between set and actual, and adjust your set accordingly. Easy day! Edit: based on...

    Not for static pressure. Once flow stops, measurements taken at any point in the system will be the same once it reaches equilibrium provided the system is small enough there's no external temperature and pressure changes across it.

    Setting 53 to get 48 is about what I'd expect. Does your Dewalt compressor use a tank? Not dangerous at all, that's how positive displacement compressors work- compressor spits out pulses of high pressure air (above rated working pressure); air flows from higher to lower pressure; impulse...

    That's flow rate, not pressure, which is largely irrelevant to measuring pressure - if the compressor is off, measured pressure at each end of a 20' pneumatic hose will be within a couple PSI of each other (eventually converging given enough time to reach equilibrium). Using flow rate to govern...
  8. Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

    I'm not sure I follow - it's the impulse pressure of an actively running compressor that throws off real time measurements and triggers the set pressure earlier than desired. The pressure drop across the hose should be relatively inconsequential.
  9. Looking to purchase your Launch Edition

    Don't scare him off, I want to see what he posts as proof!!!
  10. Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

    That would be nice for some uses, but repeatedly pausing to measure would probably be obnoxious airing up all four tires back to highway spec (which I suspect is already going to be pretty time consuming unless they used an expensive high flow compressor). Should be pretty easy to just find a...
  11. R1T Water Fording / Wading Action

    Serious advice though if you're testing your wading depth off-road - stick to well traveled crossings, don't cross a strong current if you can avoid it, go super slow, and back out if you get too deep or hit an obstacle. If you have to cross a strong current, avoid deep water (anything that'll...
  12. R1T Water Fording / Wading Action

    Different advice for different situations - for normal driving conditions, don't drive through flooded sections of road unless you're absolutely confident it's sufficiently shallow, there's no obstructions, and there's no current. Off-road, come up with a plan to avoid drowning and then send...
  13. Out of Spec: Rivian R1T Highway Range Test

    I can't access youtube right now - what were the results? Was it with off-road package and 20s?
  14. Owners: What are your biggest gripes so far?

    Can wireless charging be disabled as a setting? I have a feeling I'm going to be pretty careless about putting stuff in that tray.
  15. Texas Potentially selling my R1S upon arrival

    "The term “new qualified plug-in electric drive motor vehicle” means a motor vehicle— (A)the original use of which commences with the taxpayer, (B)which is acquired for use or lease by the taxpayer and not for resale," Purchasing for resale is different from purchasing for personal use and...
  16. Towing Test : Rivian R1T vs. Toyota Tundra

    I'm suspect it will, I get similar mileage towing a 1.5k lb travel trailer and 3.5k boat due to the boat's shape.
  17. Current daily production rate

    For someone who was joking, you're sure throwing around a lot of innuendo lol
  18. Current daily production rate

    "Ha. You must have different insider info sources than I have. I hope so!" I can't fathom how you think I'm misquoting you unless you don't understand that the above sentence is overtly implying you have access to insider sources of information.
  19. Current daily production rate

    Lol I started editing before you responded, and went out of my way to be transparent after I finished and saw your comment. Either way, I'm just trying to help you out! If you actually have inside info you don't want to be announcing to everyone that you're trading on it, and if you don't...
