    RJ interview on Munro Live: Discussing R2 / R3 Reveal

    When Sandy watched the video, he was bothered by the wasteful leg on the left book stop and otherwise thinking about removing cost from the artwork.

    Damn good software architecture as moat

    Alternative perspective: less likely to have to fight your partner for your vehicle :like:.

    Indications of an R1 refresh

    Service center capacity is a current constraint, which has to be solved anyhow. Once done, ability to retrofit things like the new steering wheel could be an attractive revenue stream. Some additional software management complexity might make it more trouble than it’s worth though I suppose.

    BMW: EV’s are Dead, buy Hydrogen Fuel Cells Vehicles

    I remember hearing someone who studies battery technology discuss breakthrough improvements. He said that some new "breakthrough" is regularly announced as having been invented or demonstrated in the lab. However, if you look back over history, there has been a steady progression of improvement...

    Consumer Reports 10 Most Satisfying Cars and SUVs for 2023 -- R1T & R1S Both Make List

    Maybe it's because reviewers only drive the vehicle for a short period of time when they're on the initial steepest part of the learning curve, but I don't agree with any of these criticisms. The regenerative breaking I have set on high, it took less than 15 minutes to get used to (with a couple...

    Onboard air compressor inaccurate or tpms?

    My air compressor used to be dead on; now it’s 7-9 psi high. I measure with a digital air pressure gauge and deflate to get to 48 psi. TPMS matches digital gauge closely.

    Been using my R1T since Oct ‘22 as primary work truck in Landscaping business

    I had wiper blades changed once at the Audi dealer for a stupid price. They also tried to charge a $15 per blade “environmental disposal fee”.

    What Was Your Previous Daily Driver Before Rivian?

    2016 Audi TTS, Daytona Grey. Fun car. Loved the look and the clean interior design. Surprisingly good utility with rear seats folded down given hatch and nice to have a little rarity. Ride is a bit rough even with suspension in comfort mode on rougher surfaces (like the 1.5 mile gravel road to...

    What *Really* happens to used EV batteries (Jerry Rig Everything vid)

    Thanks for posting that. I was just talking to someone who was adamant that Li-ion batteries were very environmentally unfriendly due to not being recyclable. Good to have some facts to respond with.

    Bike rack that works with cross bars on truck bed?

    I also have the 1up racks in this configuration. Lifting a 50lb bike onto the racks may be a bit challenging. I usually hold our bikes by the lower fork and bottom leg of the rear triangle to lift on and arms are fully extended while locating on the tray. Loading would be much easier on a hitch...

    Ford/Tesla Deal: Access to Superchargers, adapter coming, future EVs will have NACS (Tesla) port

    It seems pretty clear to me that Tesla followed the Apple model for developing their business - provide a better user experience by controlling the ecosystem; capture higher profits by leveraging the switching costs of jumping the proprietary moat they’ve created. I would be very surprised if...

    Rivian's pricing problem... how do they solve it?

    There are hundreds of Broncos sitting in the parking lot of a closed Ford facility it Belleville, MI (can be seen from I94). I wonder if they are waiting on a supply constrained part.

    Can the key fob be fixed by Rivian service centers?

    I wish I could tell you - I got the call from service while out and didn’t note anything down. I recall having to tap the screen several times at the top and/or bottom and enter a password. There might have been another step.
