Sometimes the ride height of the front end of my R1T looks low, well it is low, compared to back end after a few days of sitting in garage. It perks up when I start and drive.
My truck is about 1.5 years old with 6k miles.
i am concerned, slow leak in air suspension?
Does this mean that the r1t credit applies to only 80k of the r1t price (like my r2t was 110k), or does it mean that if the price is over 80k, like mine, I get zero credit? Is my question clear?
I am now (after above...dog belt now unplugged and vehicle going to sleep) losing just over 1% per day. In three days (72 hours) vehicle sitting in my garage, I have lost 4-5%.
You recommend the ohmmu lithium ion batteries. The 12 volt batteries that come with the truck are lead acid, right? Will the charging circuit work with the ohmmu lithium ion batteries?
I did an upgrade to 42.1 as soon as it was offered and it seemed to go fine.
However, I was getting 10%/day battery drain over thanksgiving weekend camping trip.
Rivian service happened to call me yesterday as a courtesy to see if I was having any trouble because of the update. I told him...
Please, reduce single use plastics, the containers just end up in the ocean! The plastic jug is just to ship water. Buy tablets and add to your own water and bypass the plastic.
I care very much about V2H. We have two EVs a Tesla Y and the R1T. In the case of a power outage our plan would be to dedicate the truck battery to house backup if there were V2H and use the Tesla to get around. Powerwalls are nice but we are talking 13 kw compared to 130 kw in the truck. The...
Yes Winco PSS8B2. Love it.
I should have mentioned, in case it wasn’t obvious, I was charging at 240v.
Here is a video clip of the setup and charging...
Thanks for all the replies.
Thought I would update my original post.
The Rivian mobile charger works great with my 8kw Winco generator. It is not an inverter generator but is a high end gen set and the grounding and sine wave appear sufficient. The car seemed to negotiate a 34 amp charge...
Right. I must have a DC coupled system. The wind generator connect box to the batteries has big diodes I suppose to convert the AC from the wind generator to DC for the battery bank.
I went to solaredge website but I don't see much stuff there for off-grid?
Even if I could have a trickle...
I am interested in what you are offering, however, This is a home grown solar wind system some 40 years old so not compliant with current standards. Solar panels, wind generator, bank of lead acid batteries for backup and inverter to make AC from the battery DC. Propane generator for back-up...
Generator is only on when there are big loads like well pumps to pump water or solar/wind has been low and I need to charge batteries with genset instead of sun.
What I am saying is I often do not have a situation where I have generator on with low loads and could piggy back the truck charging...
I am looking for charging options off grid at a remote ranch site with a 8kw propane backup Winco generator with 120/240 single phase volt options.
There are also solar panel and wind chargers with battery backup on site but they do not provide as significant amperage as the genset over several...
Thank you for this. Could you explain more why you prefer drawing from the 12V system versus the 120V system to power the fridge. With all the complaints and worries about the 12V system going dead, I thought it would be preferred to draw from the big battery that powers the car using the on...
My preferred set up with the go20 and the r1t (if you are willing to give up 1 passenger space in back) is to fold down the back seat on passenger side, the go20 fits nicely on top of the woofer area under the seat and is held snugly in place by the back of the seat and a tool bag or some other...
First step is check whether you can see your truck as a device in Alexa app on your phone. You must have your truck as a device in alexa.
Follow the directions for the routine but for the action you will enter it is a "custom" action and just type "turn on camera" ... Alexa will add "Alexa" in...
Thanks for this idea and implementation. Definitely going to try this, if only alexa could fold the mirrors.
I realize everybody likes to bash alexa on the rivian, and certainly the car features accessed by alexa need be improved, but if you have alexa devices at home, like echo dots, etc, it...
