If what you are asking for is a way to turn off the headlights/DRL after you park and get out of the car.
There is an option in the settings -> Vehicle -> Display and Lighting -> Guide Lights
If you turn guide lights off, when you park and get out of the vehicle and close the driver door, the...
If you are not using the tesla subscription pricing there is no point to use the tesla app. But if you are charging multiple times a month on superchargers, then it is generally worth it to do so. Keep in mind there is a timeout on starting the session from the tesla app. I am not sure what that...
Interesting, it's just on the left side. From the Ikamper site it does not look like there is any on the front/back/right side. I agree that it is tasteful, but I would still black it out like I have all of my silver letters.
Close to you in coverage, my collision is at 1k. Central California, late 20s single guy, completely clean record, I pay $3000 a year($255/Mo). That is after shopping around after my prior insurance raised my rate from $3000 to $4000 after the first year out of nowhere.
Ordered!
I remember your old store page for the gen 1 units had 2 confirmed charging pucks to purchase separately. One being the Apple one, but I can't remember what the second was and don't see it listed on the store page. Could we have a reminder of which chargers you have tested and...
Pretty much, the one tweak I would say is:
Rivian likes to keep the battery at a comfortable temp to give you full performance. Depending on how cold things are it could take much longer. It will try and get to that temp every time you get in the vehicle and start driving.
But the main thing...
Adding on to what Donald said.
Cold weather and smaller trips will make your efficiency seem really bad. Every time you hop in and start driving the vehicle has to go through all of the battery management procedures to warm the thing up. If you do this multiple times a day this can add up as the...
I agree with the overall sentiment of wanting to distance from Tesla, but I don't feel like this hill of specific components to swap from ac/dc is worth worrying about. Anyone can produce these components, they are public. As more car manufactures swap to nacs, more suppliers will pop up or...
I'm pretty sure Rivan has said that they will be making the port themselves. I mean the specs on how to make them are public now. No reason for Rivian to have to purchase them from Tesla.
It doesn't really change anything from the current situation, you can always use a ccs -> nacs adapter to charge at EA/Rivian stations like you can now in reverse at tesla. Even if Rivian doesn't supply an adapter at launch you can always purchase one from Tesla/Third Parties like A2Z, ect.
The terminology they used was "Starting in 2025". So any date in 2025 is valid for that to be correct. Don't get your hopes up, they may not update the R1's with a nacs port until R2 comes out late next year/early 2026. Or they might just before the R2 comes out. Anything is possible and nobody...
Of the three options:
Superchargers - every available superchargers for Tesla's to use, this includes v1-4 stations.
Superchargers open to other EV's - Stations equipped with built in ccs adapters, these are also known as "magic dock" stations. These superchargers are open to any EV...
All fair points you bring up. My OEM 20" tires are still going strong after 22k miles, and will last for another 5-10k more. But these are at the top of my list for replacing them when that time comes, and I plan on going with 275 60 R20 when that does happen to keep the price and weight down.
You are correct it is 17" to the underside of the tonneau. The height of the unit was the first thing I looked for as well. I guess you could lay it on its back as it's only 16" deep but IDK.
I'm with you. My truck was produced 1 week after they stopped making trucks with the PTC. Was removed from my configuration and they notified me afterwards. So already in the bummed camp from that, as it was one of the features that I was looking forward to having, even if it broke and I got a...
