Does the clock automatically update when you cross into other time zones, or DST zones? I assume so, but no idea how fast it updates based on your GPS coordinates.

I didn't mean to criticize the question, it's definitely worth asking. The R1 doesn't get anywhere near 2.6mi/kwh on the trip to Tahoe as it's constantly uphill, even before you get to the actual incline. The ride back is easy peasy, if it weren't for the "getting stuck on top of the pass in...

Getting stuck on a mountain pass in a snowstorm with low battery, with a potential 4-12 hour delay/rescue, would absolutely stop me from considering this even if the range was technically possible.

Nice to know things can change for the better on this. Hopefully Rivian starts doing better. I OOS tested the R1 dual max before and got far less than 350+ this time around, so there's clearly a ton of variability test to test.

Interesting result and conclusion. I have NEVER before heard that Tesla voluntarily under-rates its EPA mileage. From my own experience owning Teslas since ~2015, they are among the most aggressively over-stated mileage rated cars I've ever owned. It's surprising here to see the MYP easily...

I recently got back from a weeklong vacation, the car has been in my driveway plugged in, with no one driving or accessing it, and no automatic firmware updates applied. When I came back, I noticed several settings had changed - these are things I never mess with, so it was obvious that...

It's fairly minimal in terms of complexity. But if you have a 2026, there's really no need for the adapter at home unless you have another legacy EV. The best part about the Telsa charger is the load management option, but IMO there are better alternatives now (ones that monitor power via WiFi...

I think I remixed that design for my mobile radio holder: Instead of arms (which I can believe could snap), I made it a full bar so it could clamp more securely to the A/C vent frame. The original can probably be made stronger by increasing the shell thickness or using a more dense...

Wow, glad you and your family are OK! Here's the crux of the question. I don't know or think that the subsequent "crossing three lanes after hitting the median" is worth discussing as it's a consequence of the accident and likely a partial/full loss of control at that point that is 100%...

IMO 7 will be unbearably cramped, especially in a couple of years and if you're shopping for a R1S, I'm going to assume you have sufficient pricing flexibility to consider anything on the market. Full sized ICE is what I'd go for, maybe event a Sprinter (think they have an electric version too).

Yes to both. I got a cheap holster similar to the one in the picture, and mounted it outside (the EVSE is inside), and the cable passes under the garage door. That way, the handle stays where I actually want it, and it "plugs into" the holster so it's protected from rain/spray.

TBH, that looks a lot like my DIY PPF. Not great, but after the hours and hours of toil trying to get it right, it kind of forced me to not care as much about the imperfections (cause what am I going go to to fix it?). And yeah some of the surfaces start to collect dirt, but I'm just turning a...

I'm just reviving this thread to say that after 2 months, this "fix" has completely solved the issue for me. Sure, the various nicks and scratches are still there, but sharpied out, I haven't noticed or really thought about them even once while driving. Coloring in the scratches has completely...

My understanding of the "Tesla Remote Meter" is that it's a Nurio energy/amp meter with CTs for your feeders. You have to run some low voltage twisted pair wiring from the remote meter mounted at your main panel to the location of your Tesla wall charger. There are other systems too, including...

There's no chance. Rivian isn't claiming/promising any of the Lidar features/capabilities for launch R2, and there's significant body work and electrical changes needed for all the RAP hardware. The "good news" is they've said the LIDAR setup will be at parity with the non-LIDAR for the first...

Emporia Pro comes with a Vue 3 that acts as a power monitor and throttle for the EVSE. When it approaches a threshold you set (~100A), it starts to drop the charge rate to keep your current flow under the service limit. That's the only way I could get a permitted EVSE installed on our 100A...

In my area, $2k was the bare minimum for EVSE install, and this is with the most bog-simple setup possible (1ft from main panel, no cutting through drywall or punching through out side of the house, using the 3ft flexible conduit included with the EVSE itself). Part of it was the mandatory...

Software is arguably the most complex thing humans have ever created. Not all software of course, but the amount of thought that has to go into frontend/backend design/implementation/testing, multi-component support, multi-sku support, failover/backup/exception handling, memory/resource pressure...

If you were buying my 2025 Tri, you'd see it was in for service like 8 times for warranty work in the last 1.5 years, for sensor/computer replacements, tonneau replacement, cladding re-attachment, preemptive 12v replacement, camera diagnostic, etc. etc. It's still the best car I've owned.

A few weeks back I responded to an offer to try out a Red Tiger dashcam, and they were kind enough to select me and send me an F7NA, along with a 128GB card and a hardwire kit. I get to keep it, and write up some impressions, but they don't see/review it beforehand and I don't have any affiliate...
