Battery degradation Driving in High Heat Summer
Live in Phoenix, no problems. Running the AC takes a bit more power in the summer than running nothing in the winter. But in the winter we get cold (40s this morning) and that makes bringing the kid to school a little more inefficient, so it mostly balances. -
Successful First Ski Trip Report with R1T: Gilbert, AZ to Sunrise Resort (good trip, disappointing Nav)
Took mine up on Forest Road 300 north of Payson a few weeks ago. Highly recommend. So great that they're installing chargers around the state now.- MrMetlHed

Jeep Wrangler 4xe Rental Experience - from an R1T owner
My ex has one, loves it. She plugs in a 120v outlet in her condo parking lot at night and has a fully charged battery with enough miles to get around the next day. Short commute, so that's not a concern. Fills up the gas tank less than once a month. PHEVs are great for a lot of people once you...- MrMetlHed

Rivian OEM Storage Drawer appears in Owner's Manual!
Man, I use it all the time. I use the Camp Speaker now and then (That's the one I forget is there) but man it came in handy when the last software update rolled out.- MrMetlHed

Software Update 2023.42.0 is out (⚠️ UPDATE: OTA fix rolling out today 11/15/23)
Or if you have a tire change appointment and they can't raise the truck and set it to "tire change" mode. Sigh. -
Winter rates have kicked in for APS
Such a nice time of year here, especially since I work from home. Changed my charging schedule accordingly. -
Amazon music and Alexa
It's kind of a mess, but yeah. The other issue I've been having is that if I try to shuffle a playlist, I always get some weird subset of songs over and over, there are songs in a playlist that I've never heard. And for a while I got the first song in the list every time I asked it to shuffle... -
AZ road trip - PHX to Flagstaff to Sunrise and back to PHX
I briefly looked up how to reach monument valley to see the Solar Eclipse this weekend from Phoenix. It seems like the only way to get there and back is to use a relatively slow charger north of the area, which would not be a great time if there are any crowds of like-minded ev travellers...- MrMetlHed

Upcoming Rivian September 2023 software update: Drive Mode and UI Updates
Would kill for it to just mirror all of my Android notifications with the click wheels able to select instant responses. Just copy what Garmin watches do but stick it on the driver's screen. I'm sure they won't for safety, but not sure how it's any different than the music details popping up... -
Per Guide: 250KW max charging and streaming services coming soon
Parents would pay extra for this, I imagine.- MrMetlHed

Charging in hot climates
I'm in Phoenix (so--hot) on a 40amp charger and don't see anything like this. All the fans will kick up in my garage (which isn't all that insulated, so probably still at least 100 degrees most of the time) but it's still pulling close to 20 miles an hour or so. I'd have to double check, but... -
Frustrated today with route planner and "send to vehicle"
Semi-related: I don't think my truck retains any of the set navigation when "recalculating." I.e. I search for a location in town and am presented with a couple of options on the screen. I tap one of the routes (not the default) because I'd like to take a different way. I start to leave the... -
RAN Rivian Charging Stations Locations Map via Google Maps
This makes total sense from me having grown up on the West Coast of Michigan. Basically, every weekend during the summer everyone from Chicago with the means to escape goes around Lake Michigan and to points north. Since Rivian is based in Illinois, I have to believe a ton of their executives... -
My R1T's Most Miles Driven on 1 Tank of Battery = 366.5 miles
Is that EA station down often? My mom lives in Milton and I thought about driving there someday (from Arizona,) but there are some spots along the route where charging is a concern. Though by next year I suppose I'll have a Supercharger adapter...- MrMetlHed

MapBox v2 SDK Now With EV Routing
Incidentally, this screenshot in another blog post (https://www.mapbox.com/blog/mapbox-3d-navigation) really makes me hope they update the dashboard video game screen: And the original they compared it to looks very similar to the Rivian view Just remove the buttons around the edges and... -
Tax Credit
Same, but with H&R block online. Was pretty simple. Amended it in early March and still just processing. IRS is now saying 20 weeks instead of 16 as a ballpark, which has already felt like an eternity. Hopefully it works out -- Though I got my truck early enough this year that I think I would... -
Ford/Tesla Deal: Access to Superchargers, adapter coming, future EVs will have NACS (Tesla) port
Oh I'm sure Tesla is going to try to get their cut from manufacturers by charging API access on the backend for payments or something. Would be disappointing but not surprising. I wonder if they're hoping to get any Inflation Reduction Act money from opening their chargers this way with an... -
Ford/Tesla Deal: Access to Superchargers, adapter coming, future EVs will have NACS (Tesla) port
Yeah, this seems like the bigger news here. If Tesla is making an adapter for Ford (as an article on The Verge indicates,) I suspect that it will be available for anyone. So every vehicle that already has CCS can just use the adapter. And any manufacturer can choose to put whatever ports they... -
