Let's not forget the turning point for the advertisers was Musk's principled retweet of a racist and antisemitic post about white replacement theory. Twitter is a cesspool to start with, and it was completely reasonable for advertisers to have the expectation that the Twitter CEO wouldn't...
Mine just started doing this, not sure why. Maybe it's related to heat and expansion of the nozzle tube? My washer fluid tank is also low, but I don't know why that would matter.
Agreed--several 1990s-era Mazda Cars had a vent "swing" mode which I thought was awesome at the time.
At least the vent presets are another feature that justifies their existence.
You are technically correct, but for most people V2L is going to be the same thing as V2H--something they use to power critical loads when the power goes out. In those cases an AC system is going to be sufficient.
There are few people who will spend the money for an automatic backup system or...
It's 100 amps (24,000/240=100).
AC output is actually a much more elegant solution since it uses the on-board charger and allows you to use it at camp sites, work sites, etc. Compare that to the DC solution that requires an EVSE box+Inverter box+automatic transfer switch+dark start battery.
New info about the V2H capability:
Rivian will offer a bidirectional charger that will be capable of providing 24 kW output from the R1. Release date TBD
R2 will be capable of exporting AC at 11 kW. Will launch with R2 and the R1 ostensibly does not have AC output capability.
It's too bad...
We have the Dewalt equivalent. I don't understand why people get so excited about built-in air compressors. The battery-powered inflators are compact, cheap, work well and don't require dealing with a long hose.
My neighbor just bought one. They're an instagram fitness/model influencer which pretty much confirms my biases about the people who are buying these things.
Another reason to do to this is that trailer mode keeps the rear motor engaged at all times (I think) which really isn't necessary with smaller loads and eats into efficiency. My R1S DM could tow our 2000 pound SxS with just the front axle engaged.
