You need a better Yakima dealer. I bought a Skybox 18 and the clamps didn’t work. My dealer called up their Yakima rep on the spot and said “wtf, you made these crossbars!”. Yakima rep immediately knew the answer- swap the Skybox clamps for the CBX clamps (no, they’re not the same) and you’re...
I was thinking of using an ignition-switched amp-limiting charge controller between the Rivian 12V system and the accessory battery.
The load I’d like to solve for is a winch; which can exceed 400A. I’m quite sure the Rivian’S DC-DC converter cannot accommodate that so a “surge” battery that...
Are you able to share any insight into the DC-DC converter architecture and capacity? In particular, if one were to theoretically add a third larger 12V battery for short-term high-draw loads, what type of charge rate for that accessory 12V system could be sustained from the DC-DC converter?
You have my endorsement to keep the sub blacked out indefinitely until they cave. If Apollo gets killed off I’m done with Reddit after 15 years anyway.
Autosock brand is specifically called out as approved by the State of Washington (WSDOT) and National Park Service (Mt Rainier NP) to meet their textile traction device chain alternative requirements, which are my local jurisdictions that I bought them for.
If you get a chance could you take some close up pics of the rack attachment to the factory rail accessory ports? How does the mechanism compare to the Rivian crossbar attachment?
Like all useful info, it is buried in an appendix exhibit (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1874178/000119312521315537/d157488dex1014.htm).
“LMD Vehicles” means any electric vehicles and other delivery carriers and systems designed or produced for use in a fleet for logistics or last...
This is not true. The Amazon exclusivity clause only applies to the last-mile delivery van variant. Rivian has a whole slew of different van variants planned that are not bound to Amazon. This was outlined in depth in Rivian’s S1 IPO filing doc.
An induction cooktop takes up less space than a propane stove and fuel and doesn’t require carrying a flammable gas. Most induction burners provide MUCH better temperature control than any propane camp stove I’ve ever used (ie, there is a full gradient between “pilot light” and “raging...
It is also disingenuous bullshit in their PR copypasta to say they are “halting production” on something they never even started production on or delivered to a single customer. ?
That is old news, that’s the exact same PR statement they delivered many months ago regarding the status of the kitchen and shuttle. No significant updates. See this from 5 months ago,
