Okay last post on this thread ... trying to clear up misunderstanding. My original post was in response to OPs question and problem with why is the displayed speed limit sometimes wrong. My answer was its the bad map data, not the camera incorrectly reading signs. Yes, I could have said that...

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying Rivian and Tesla (the only two I have have owned which display speed limit) can't detect speed signs. I am saying that real world facts show most of the time the map data is being reflected.

Yes the map data is correct most of the time, so it will chang the displayed limit as you pass the sign ... but the data does exact location errors (a few hundred yards) at some locations. Here is another test, it takes a little more time. Find a speed limit sign which is changing the speed and...

[Q0901, post: 1030233, member: 157"] Yes, it does read the signs as covered on this forum dozens of times. Does it do it for every road or sign? No. Is it the primary source? Who knows. Does it read speed limit signs? Absolutely, without question and provably. No need to take my word for it...

Unfortunately, sunscreen makers do not publicize it, but some chemicals such as avobenzone, oxybenzene and others, which are used in many sunscreens, are very hard on materials used in cars, furniture and other products, if left for an extended time. Since it takes time for these chemicals to...

Yes by design. The floor vents for air conditioning default to close when car turned off. Same with rear air vents default to close unless it senses someone is in rear seat of R1T. Prior settings appear to not be saved. Regarding fan speed, I think I recall an update a while back to set fan...

It's in the map data. Does not actually read speed signs. For example, the speed limit on 260 going into Payson AZ was 45. They lowered the speed and swapped out the 45 for a 35 sign, same spot. Took months before, the map software was updated and consequently months for speed to change in...

Yes, AZ new vehicle registration is expensive ... based on MSRP as others have stated, then goes down a % each following year. However, early on EVs had a special low rate. My 2020 Model Y was just over $100 for a 5 year registration. Then the law changed and EV registration is just like ICE...

Correct that the 30 amp outlets on portable batteries are TT-30 and Rivian mobile charger needs a TT30 adaptor and a neutral ground bonding pulg. TT-30 is the standard for RV and campground 30 amp sockets. However, the output from the battery can be 120v/30 amp = 3.6kw per hour. There is no...

Another of the great mysteries of life. I vote for magic.

The Rivian mobile charger does work with a neutral grounding plug In a Jackery battery and many others. For the battery to work with a grounding plug it must have actual contacts in the ground hole of the receptacle. Some brands, maybe EcoFlo, just have a hole and no contact or wire...

Lets stop speculating ... Real world experience ... Most of the larger portable batteries 3kwh - 3.6 kw have a 30 amp 120 volt outlet. You can go with 5kkwh, but they weigh around 100 lbs, so not that portable. with the 30 amp outlet you can charge at about 2.8 kw per hour. You can't overload...

Yes I have. I have a Jackery 3kw battery. mostly use to power the freezer so it does not need to stay in the truck while camping. But also have used at campgrounds with 30 amp service that say "NO EV CHARGING". In this case I plug the battery into the campground outlet (hey just charging the...

I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to reduce drain. A lot is still a mystery. However, turns out the biggest culprit is the phone! Continue to use camp mode and stay off, as well as the things others have stated. I do not know what all the R1 is doing in camp mode, but it...

Reasonable question. Only Rivian knows for sure. However, high probability it's not something that be activated. Although the software may exist and function in R1, the R2 is different hardware, different user interface, etc. So, the R1 software needs to be modified, and integrated into the...

47 - 52 PSI. Altitude and definition of "Cold" make a difference. We have two houses, only 160 miles apart driving, but over a mile difference in altitude. So, I keep 22s at 47-48 when at 6800 ft and cooler temps. But when we drive to the lower altitude house goes to about 52 PSI due to 20%...

The correct question, is it hard to develop and maintain complex software that must run on multiple versions of hardware/OS and always work? Yes, it's incredibly difficult. My career involved running several of the largest successful software development programs at that time. Very few people...

Love the forest green .... over a year old. Lots of people comment they love the color. We live in a national forest, so it blends in well.

Correct, need a neutral bonding plug. About $8 on Amazon. You plug it into an empty receptacle on the generator. Batteries and generators have no ground. They are self-contained. Just a positive and negative terminal. All EV level 2 chargers require a ground. The bonding plug fools the...
