  1. Palouse trip in R1T

    Nope, I quickly "took control" and resumed normal speed though I'm sure the person following me was miffed. They hung back further after that.
  2. Vehicle fridge temperature impact in frunk

    Haha, not exactly. Though the plastic tub doesn't offer much insulation aside from suppressing airflow it was always warmer than outdoor temps. I'm sure being in the vicinity of warm components will keep it a little above outdoor temps regardless of the fridge. One thing to note is that...
  3. Palouse trip in R1T

    I should probably mention some details on how the R1T did on the trip. The total trip was about 900 miles and the average efficiency was 2.07 mi/kWh. I ran it in conserve mode for pretty much all the highway driving but used a mix of all-purpose, sport, and offroad on the trip. Charging went...
  4. Palouse trip in R1T

    It was nice to be able to make the trip back "home" this last weekend and thought I would share a few pictures. I got to introduce my truck to my farm. Took it up Steptoe Butte. It used 7 "miles" to go the 3 miles to the top and we got 3 miles back from regen on the way back down. Sure beats...
  5. Vehicle fridge temperature impact in frunk

    There had been some discussion about concern of heat issues running a powered cooler in the frunk and possible mitigation strategies. I wanted empirical data before considering drilling holes and such in the frunk tub for venting so I tracked frunk temperature during my recent trip over the...
  6. PNW Roll Call

    @prestapost , I ran into 2 people this weekend who had seen what must have been your R1T around Pullman. One guy said his wife didn't believe that he had seen one and then he stumbled across mine this morning in Pullman so at least he has a picture to prove it now ?
  7. Didn't Know Rivians are TIME MACHINES!!!

    Haha, nice job on the video ? We had a great time visiting yesterday and look forward to seeing a herd of Rivians meet up in Eastern Washington down the road!
  8. Sizing it up.. my power cooler arrived.. ICECO GO20 Dual Zone

    If you don't need bluetooth control or dual zones, for a cheaper option I can confirm that the Alpicool C20 also fits in both the frunk and gear tunnel. You can access the C20 in the gear tunnel from the backseat, but would probably want to mount a handle on the lid or simply prop up the front a...
  9. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    I turned both gear guard video and alarm off and checked back a few hours later. The cameras are still emitting heat so I guess turning it off just disables the motion processing and/or video saving... I'm not sure why they are constantly powered when they aren't needed. Also I forgot to...
  10. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    I'll turn gear guard full off and see if the cameras are still actively powered. The 120 V system was off so that shouldn't be drawing any power. Curious if anybody knows what sits in that particular spot.
  11. Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    I was disappointed in the daily loss I was seeing and was curious where heat loss was occurring so I used a FLIR scope after the vehicle had been sitting unplugged for about 15 hours with nothing operated in that duration. Gear Guard was set to not be active at home which is the location where I...
  12. Portland Area Meet-up April 8th

    These vehicles sure attract a fun group of people. I enjoyed getting to meet those that attended and look forward to future meetups. Thanks Bruce for making it happen!
  13. Portland Area Meet-up April 8th

    Haha, hey that's my pickup :) Happy to let you take a closer look at it if our paths cross around town as I live in the area.
  14. Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

    Correct, there isn't a seal around the tailgate other than a rubber strip along the back of the tonneau cover where it sits against the tailgate.
  15. Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

    Nope and though you can get them in above the false floor, they don't fit all that well there.
  16. Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

    . I had a chance to hit some backroads and tried out rally and drift modes (very fun btw). There was no issue with dust in the cab. Here is a picture of the rear back bottom of the driver's side rear door. You can clearly see where dust is present vs. the interior: Also in case you are...
  17. Portland Area Meet-up April 8th

    I'll be there with my LG R1T. Looking forward to it!
  18. Portland(OR) deliveries

    If you are planning on Germantown, you might consider heading more towards my area and head up Logie Trail Rd. to Skyline and come down Rocky Point. Turning right off Rocky Point onto highway 30 is a good opportunity to try out the acceleration. It's a fun drive and a decent opportunity to try...
