Also meant to say appreciate the defense. Constructive criticism is taken. I just don’t get what he’s saying. I actually wanted to make it a “live review” where I could answer questions on the fly but YouTube wouldn’t let me go live.
No worries. Sometimes people forget, especially after consuming hours of content, that people are still people. I can tell you with confidence if I'd gotten a delivery over the holiday break the last thing I'd be doing is posting YouTube videos.
I have a feeling it will be in the next up date. Calls are pretty run of the mill. It looks like it’s Google based though.
Everywhere. Very much like it was when I had one of the first Model 3’s. I build in extra time on my errands to talk to people at a distance
Thank you, but that has no information on the Payload rating. It's most likely on a secondary label as it's required by law. My Guess is 8532 lbs - 7150 lbs for your build = ~ 1,382 lbs for the Payload. One would think at this point in time, Rivian would communicate with customers the actual ratings of their vehicles so we are not left to guesswork. But this is Rivian and for no known reason they hate to share specifications.
I bet your guess is pretty close. If you look at their tow rating of 11,000 pounds, with a tongue weight 1,100 pounds (10%) and a 200 pound driver, payload would be 1,300 pounds.
it’s 17”
I doubt it actually has fuses that you can access (and not what we might consider "traditional fuses". A Tesla doesn't have them either. it uses relay's that the car/service team can reset when stuff goes wrong (remotely or otherwise).
I'd be a bit shocked it if had one of these (or if it really gives you much info if it has one). Newer Tesla model 3's and Y's don't have OBD II ports anymore (waiver) but do have a separate diagnostic port. If you do connect to the OBD II (at least on my Tesla X) you don't get much and can't really mess with anything. Curious, does the ID4 have one?
You're probably right. My BoltEV had fuses, but the Rivian is a bit more sophisticated, I would think. Too bad, though, because I was hoping to be able to turn the pedestrian-warning noise off and on depending on where I was driving. Don't really want to hear that noise while driving at a snails pace out in the wilderness.
Yep. It's handy for linking your car data to ABRP, and getting access to things like your power draw (the heater uses about 2kW on the ID.4!), and battery temp.
I hope they automatically disable that noise when it is in it's lifted mode.
