I posted this on another thread, but thought it might be better off as it's own thread. Here are a couple of links to YouTube that I thought were very enlightening. If you keep thinking "what sensors must be at play for this to happen", you get to realize that the QM drive sensors and traction...

I see we've been busy... I haven't had time to read pages 5-9 of this thread - I left off as the words were starting to get ripe - but it looks like everyone has kissed and made up. Well done, forum family! Here are a couple of links to YouTube that I thought were very enlightening. If you keep...

Thanks. That's what I'm looking for!

Thanks. I was wondering if there were any current (pun intended!) updates since the 2022/2023 threads on the topic. Apparently, not. Didn't Ford/Lightning have a consumer-available solution? Or was that just hype?

What progress has "the industry" made as far as tapping into one's EV as a backup home battery (EV to 240v house panel)? In that charging the Rivian is at 10+ Kw/h (L2), and I don't use that much power to run my house, I would figure that the same cable that charges the Rivian should be able...

Take a look at Jumping Jack.

As ekirkpatrick said, same thing happened with me. My Guide said she forwarded it to the powers to be, but we haven't heard anything. Same with the Service Center Manager. The other recent thread on snow socks mention the AutoSock AL69 fit nicely. None are cheap. But worth every penny when...

As did Rivian, Canoo, You-Name-It... it's the new investing strategy, you know. A refundable $100 (or $1000, in Rivian's case), and you, too, can have the latest widget on the market! Aptera (I'll let anyone have the last word - this is a Rivian forum, after all) has made some important...

I've been keeping my eye out on Aptera for a while. Without going back to old notes, I think they are claiming close to 10 miles/Kwh. With the four battery pack size options, as well as the size of the solar panels, they seem fairly customizable as to range, and solar "help". Interesting...

Well, that would be nice too. What I am referring to are documenting the topics and pages that were modified since the last revision. I was in charge of a few million lines of documentation in my past life, and we supplied the end users with such revision documentation.

On another thread, someone referred to "Page 138" of THE Owner's Manual. My gripe: Rivian! Produce a "Summary of Changes" between revisions of the OM!! Up in the front of the new version of the Owner's Manual. Some people call it other things. But whatever you call it, it alerts the reader to...

What a great conversation. Looks like we've run out of steam (hmmmm... has anyone ever thought of using steam as propulsion or maybe to generate electricity??). So, Rivian.... I think the vast majority of folks on this thread really, really, want "v-Lockers", in whatever variant you can...

Edit - removed a bunch of QUOTES So I'll respond to a couple of your points, but I have a serious/important question at the end of this reply. Rebelle Rally: Team Rivian (congrats Macaruso/Anderson!) pulled out the win on the last day - at Glamis Dunes - deep sand, against arguably the best...

I guess if you dismiss the Trans America Trail, the Rebelle Rally, and the Chile (that's a country in South America) to USA trail, you might have a point. But those are hard to dismiss. The R1T has proven as, and more, capable than a Jeep Gladiator Mohave, and with a software update (i.e...

I've been wondering if the tie-rod issue is exacerbated by turning the wheel against it's will while at a standstill. Bad Ju-ju doing that no matter the vehicle.

I agree with that - mostly. I was speculating that each motor has *at least* one (at minimum, before the gear reduction box) sensor in it. Worst case scenario: One motor sensor on 34" Tires (on the ATs) = (34 * 3.1416 = 106.8144" (circumference) / 12.6 (gear reduction box) = 1 sample per...

I'm thinking they don't need sensors on the wheels - each motor has a gear reduction box ratio of somewhere around 12.6:1 (motor:wheel), so 1 motor rev = 30 degrees of wheel. In any event, have the software ignore the slippage, and "simply" turn each motor at full torque at the crawl speed...

The current is "good". Do we settle for "good", when "better" and "best" are a few lines of code away? From what I have read, the traction algorithm requires some wheel slippage to determine the type of terrain and traction available at any given moment - for each wheel. No slippage, no...

I thought I would get Tread Lightly's take on whether lockers save, or tear up the ground beneath us: Me to TreadLightly.org: /QUOTE: I am hearing my fellow Jeepers arguments on both sides, including, but not limited to: Pro-lockers: Less wheel spin on the technical areas = less damage...
