I installed mine outside and park/charge in my driveway. My garage is filled with tools and bikes and kayaks and other outside toys.

I haven’t had a chance to take it on a long trip yet (got rained out last weekend), but so far it is not super noticeable. Definitely some wind noise at highway speed but not obnoxious. I don’t have numbers on it yet to compare but I’m super curious as well. The Skybox Carbonite series is the...

You’d be amazed at how fast the space disappears with 2 adults, 2 kids, and a dog. I just bought a Yakima Skybox for the roof of my R1T based on the trips I’ve taken so far.

The speaker latches into place using one of the Rivian-standard “accessory ports” on the bottom of the speaker (the same connector used for the crossbars). It shouldn’t be too hard to fabricate a sturdy box with a mimicked accessory port on the back that can use the locking mechanism already in...

I think it is just waves of different batches. A couple months ago they were all 20s in the Seattle area (which included mine).

I’m sure they’re made overseas like most things these days, but the company is HQ’ed in Snoqualmie, WA just outside of here in Seattle in the foothills of the Cascade mountains. An interesting tidbit… our local zoo in Seattle, Woodland Park Zoo, has 2 grizzlies and has established a bear-proof...

Can you share some more on the Kuat Pivot and bike rack? Can you fully open the tailgate with the rack installed and loaded with bikes without anything colliding? More pics of the setup please if you have them! I caught your video on YouTube the other day but it looked like you had the rack...

The Cascade Mountain Tech 45qt cooler fits like a glove under the tonneau. I hadn’t heard of the brand before but when I researched it I found favorable comparisons to more expensive Yeti and Pelican coolers, and I found a good deal on it at Costco (they currently only have the larger 80qt model...

The FE wood is timeless, the green “leather” is so weird and unique that I’d dare say it can’t go out of style since it was never in style in the first place. Overall, I’d give FE the strongest vote for not looking dated and BM the most likely to look dated (which is sadly what I have since I...

Please cite your source for this, I’ve never seen THHN listed for over 75A at any temp rating. @Everyone, please don’t get your electrical wiring advice from an internet message board.

Coming from the guy who thinks colonizing Mars is the best use of his resources.

I have gotten free charges on EA stations on multiple occasions. It seems that if they have an upstream connectivity issue with accessing your account/payment, they fail to free mode (much better than leaving you stranded).

It’s an $80k wipe warmer!

This guy? CRC Dry Graphite Lube 03094 – 10 Wt. Oz, Dry Film Lubricant https://a.co/in1cquS

Seattle City Light rate (2nd block, which EV charging will quickly push you into) is $0.13/kWh.

90C rated copper 6-gauge at 60A has 1.21% voltage drop over 50’, and should be within the 3% tolerance up to 123’ (but I certainly wouldn’t push it that far).

I found some nifty ones at Home Depot that have the anti-short bushing built-in. They fit in standard 3/4 knockouts with threads and locknut like any other connector. If I grabbed any extra, I’ll snap a pic of one.

Ok, rephrased into an “adventure vehicle” complaint…. Rivian’s undersized inverter limited their Camp Kitchen to using a bespoke single-sourced 1400W induction cooktop when every other cooktop on the market is 1800W, and now that the sole manufacturer of that cooktop has discontinued it Rivian...

FWIW, the outer metal sheath of the copper 6/2 MC (metal-flex-encased THHN) I used on the 60A circuit for my Rivian Wall Charger gets REALLY warm to the touch when I’m charging full-tilt (and it is in the open garage fastened to the wall, not even in-wall). There is ZERO chance I’d choose to...

I couldn’t get the bucket lift to raise. The hydraulics just aren’t ready for prime time.
