This session is from last week's AWS re:Invent event. They cover some of the high level cloud architecture for customer engagement. The Rivian portion of the session begins at 5:25.
ODOT had a webinar this morning about the NEVI program. A lot of the Q&A answers were somewhat vague, but a couple things I learned:
Faulty charging units are expected to be addressed within 48 hours of the reported problem.
Pull through stations for towing vehicles are part of the plan for...
After only 2.5 months of ownership, my key fob battery required replacement. Maybe I just started with a poor battery and hopefully won't have to replace it every 2-3 months. Has anybody else needed to replace their factory fob battery?
Had a blast today playing around in the sand.
Some efficiency info that may be useful for planning for this type of usage:
If you are just driving straight and flat along the beach it seemed like that was somewhere around 0.8 to 1 mile per kWh.
I may share some additional pictures/videos...
I put together a simple and quick to deploy/stash prototype solution for working while out in the woods and thought I'd share some pictures. I plan on making a more refined version once I have used it a while and identify improvements. The leg swings from a quick release position underneath and...

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...
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...
I had time to drop by a CCS charging station today so I documented the data from it (data points were captured at each minute). This was an EA 350 kw charger.
I charged from 25% SOC to 85%. This took 44 minutes to complete. Peak rate was 154 kw.
At 25% SOC, the mile remaining estimate was 68...
In case you are attending re:Invent, it looks like you will have a chance to hang out with some Rivian folks at the "Automotive Lounge". It is likely we will probably also see some speakers from Rivian at sessions once the session catalog is posted.

I noticed there are a bunch of job openings in Seattle for security and data positions. I am assuming this means they are establishing a corporate office in Seattle which would be great to see happen.
