  1. Rivian vs Scout (⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS)

    One exists, one doesn't. Until that changes, I can't really see the benefit of speculating. Just buy the used R1 like you know you should.
  2. Stupid previous owner = $$$ L2 installation

    Probably a good reminder for anyone doing their own electric, you can. But you better make damn sure you memorize the NEC code year for your AHJ. Not doing so could literally mean life and death. Just because you "know" how it's wired, doesn't guarantee that not-you will come along and try to...
  3. 20in wheel worse range even with all season tires?

    Kind of.... Smaller diameter = better range However, the 20 and 22 should have about the same diameter because the wheels are different ratios to make that happen. Lighter = better range Size doesn't matter so much as composition. An XL tire will weigh more because it has more materials to...
  4. Gen2 R1S Sound quality

    I'll add an update as well. Standard R1S Gen2 audio with aftermarket sub, <make_chef's_kiss_gesture> A single sealed 10" with the exact NVX volume dimensions and less than 300watts. There is literally not a better way to improve the sound and still have a price point under $500. And even with...
  5. Anyone have R2 highway driving range to share? (I'm sure the color you picked looks great)

    It's as relevant as the the model S/model 3 comparison when they first were on the road together. Multiply everything by .8
  6. Anyone have R2 highway driving range to share? (I'm sure the color you picked looks great)

    Just a friendly reminder that weight isn't a meaningful contribution to range when considering speed/aerodynamics (wind). In otherwords, an extra 500lbs means very little compared to an extra 5mph of speed.
  7. Anyone have R2 highway driving range to share? (I'm sure the color you picked looks great)

    I ran into an R2 owner in one of the flat states this past week. (Trying not be be specific.) There was a consensus that based on the data, @75mph the R2 was doing about 10-15% below it's EPA consumption numbers.
  8. Stick with solar brand for home charger?

    I just went through the enphase training. If the micro grid things is important to you, then I think that's the best way to to variable amperage. But the enphase controller has the EV charger bypass connections so it can remain agnostic. Personally, I charge off-peak at night so I'm *very*...
  9. R2 non-powered frunk is a mistake?

    I.... don't think that's a thing. I managed to get by with a Tesla frunk for the last 12 years and I wouldn't say hot pads have ever been needed to shut it.
  10. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    Nah, there has to be a roadmap defined by the hardware capabilities. Until they disclose that, I won't drop 2500 on it, and IMHO, no one else should either.
  11. No Internet Connection after 2026.15.0 Update

    Replying to my own post. Just as @lmerani said, about 10 min later, I can now connect to the car over lte and without Bluetooth having to be on. Something is seriously wrong with that Wi-Fi card in the car after this update.
  12. No Internet Connection after 2026.15.0 Update

    Is this still happening you you? I tried flipping Wi-Fi off but not sure how long it takes to register. App still says "no cloud access" and when the Wi-Fi is on, it says "unstable internet connection". Which is insane since I have about $2k of Ubiquiti hardware about 10ft from the hood of the car.
  13. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    I really want to know what the feature complete roadmap is for R1 gen2. specifically. Like, what is the point they will step back and say, "this is a finished product"?
