  1. HaulMaster Cargo Carrier, yeah, it fits R1T bed… ;)

    The effect on range may be minimal on the bed but I bet it will be awful on the roof. I would like to see some detailed testing before I just left it on my bed. But that is certainly cheap enough.
  2. Schneider Charge - new hardwired level 2 EV charger w/ dynamic load management

    Sorry, "Dynamic Load Management" is jargon. I can guess what that means, but if you could just explain it that would be better. I can only have a 30amp outlet to my charger because I only have 100amp service. I think this is cheaper than the $5000 that would be needed to upgrade my service panel.
  3. Clicking sound from right front wheel when reversing in a full left turn.

    I will look at mine to see if I have out of place fins. I know that if I back up while it is still at kneel height and crank the steering hard the off road tires rub and make a noise. I did not bother to look where. I just don't do that.:)
  4. “100k milestone” Yes and we are not looking back!!

    Almost at 100,000k myself. Best vehicle I have ever owned. Congrats.
  5. Please help me understand

    On the R1T launch I figured out that they could not actually do build to order. That they were producing a lot of the same spec truck and then matching them up to the preorders in an out of order way. I specifically picked the configuration that I thought they were most likely to produce and got...
  6. Please Rivian, Give us Forest Edge for the R2

    I love my forest edge interior on my R1T. I have avoided many a black leather car in the past.
  7. FM receiver equipped phone to prevent radio lag?

    Camp courtesy mode will take care of the lights. As for the delay, my iPhone has lots of FM apps in the store but they were just streaming the feed over the internet so would be delayed and not have the drive-in signal anyway. I don't think any iPhones have the built in FM chip enabled. Most...
  8. I pity the textin-foo in the Tesla who barrels into a R1T...

    I barely got clipped by a trash truck, could have been a bicycle for no more damage than was done. Over $5000. They replaced the whole rear side of the vehicle for an 8 inch scratch. I tried to find a body shop that would old school it but they declined because the truck's electronics might get...
  9. PSA: Full Reboot Turns Off Outlet Timer

    Resets, software updates, and low battery warning all turn off the outlet timer. So on a long trip just pulling into a charging station below 50 miles of range will leave you without power to the fridge. The default I think is that the auto mode is on but the timer goes off. My mini fridge...
  10. Current charging costs?

    Kansas City: I get $0.15 at home and it ranges from $0.42 to $0.60 at the DCFC chargers around me. So more than gas which is $3.29 right now. I use the shortcut of moving the decimal place so $3.29 gas is $0.329 electric. I know that is not quite right but it is close. I feel for you guys on the...
  11. Nav and charging - find a charger ON THE ROUTE!

    If you set the desired miles of range at destination high enough it will add automatically along the route. If it thinks you have plenty of range at the destination it will not add any. When you ask to add I think that is when it looks for the closest, but I have not done it that way.
  12. I installed a gasoline engine in my Rivian

    Still cheaper than most the fast chargers. 13 MPG at $3 per gallon is 23 cents per mile. 2 Miles per kWh makes breakeven 46 cents per kWh at the fast charger. If a generator would charge while driving I would get one. Wait, I just described the Scout.
  13. I installed a gasoline engine in my Rivian

    Thanks for doing the work. I might go buy a generator now that I know what to expect. Then when my in-laws ask "What do you do when the power goes out?" I can answer "Go to the gas station, just like you." And then point out that gas stations are not any more reliable than the grid anyway, so...
  14. RAN charging how much???

    RAN and much of the public charging has disconnected from gas prices. I think this is a mistake as most EV owners have an ICE option. The stations will never turn a profit when prices can be double or more gas prices. Many potential EV buyers will stick with ICE if they can't road trip for a...
  15. Need help fixing range while towing (it’s 30% 😵)

    lowering the frontal height of the trailer will help a bit. Upping the tire pressure is an easy couple of percent. As so many have said, slowing down. Smaller wheels on the trailer will lower it a bit but has some drawbacks. Moving the AC unit off the top would help a bit. My Vee-nose enclosed...

  17. Could I possibly actually be getting 2.37 miles per kWh (422Wh per mile)?

    The title of the thread seemed like a new owner question. If I had noticed your post count I would have known. Sorry,
  18. Could I possibly actually be getting 2.37 miles per kWh (422Wh per mile)?

    You need to know that running in conserve all the time will wear out the front tires much faster. So much so that it can overtake the electricity savings.
