  1. Factory windows R1S

    The glass roof has superior UV and IR rejection, whereas the windshield and side/rear glass does not. I metered the front windows to reject roughly 14% of IR and rear to reject 19%. The roof was blocking nearly 75% IR. If heat and glare reduction are important to you, I recommend going with a...
  2. Window Tinting % Level Preferences

    If you're getting XPEL tint free of charge, you're either a) overpaying for PDR, or b) getting basic XPEL CS Black (color stable black) film, OR something in lieu of XPEL.
  3. Window Tinting % Level Preferences

    Tried it twice, don't like it. First time was back in 2018 - had clarity issues. Then again in late 2019 after they had "updated their film chemistry" and found it to be a little better, but noticed it was more prone to scratching compared to their old film, AND to competitors on the market...
  4. Wind Noise

    One of my piano black A pillars wasn’t fully seated, and was causing a plethora of wind noise. After properly seating, the noise was gone.

    Here’s a Reddit thread I started for a Model Y group. Give it a read - it has a ton of great info. The thread has a photo gallery, which includes some photos of my Rivian. https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelY/comments/11qgyvh/all_things_window_tint/ I highly recommend FormulaOne Pinnacle 25...
  6. Ford Explorer EV revealed

    Also consider making these in their Mexico plant, or perhaps in Kentucky, then having to ship over to EU... that gets costly. They're already doing that for the Mach-E and I heard the delivery process causes more headache for Ford, especially with batteries crossing the ocean and arriving very low.

    Uses VW's MEB architecture... YUCK!
  8. Rivian Elevation audio system - in house design change began February 2023?

    There must be something wrong with my camp speaker because it's a pile of shit. Low volume and doesn't sound well at all. We have a Sonos Move that goes around the house with us, if we're in a room that doesn't have other Sonos speakers.
  9. Rivian Elevation audio system - in house design change began February 2023?

    The Meridian system is great, but definitely has room for improvement. I'm hoping PAC audio or another aftermarket auto integrator can create a solution to pull a clean signal (hopefully via Toslink) infotainment system, and pipe into aftermarket DSP and amplifiers. I've been trying to get my...

    What's next, remove the audio system completely and have 2 Camp speakers on the dash setup in stereo?

  13. What do I tell the solar installers? Recommendations for chargers??

    What’s the energy management solution for your solar system: Enphase, Solar Edge, or Tesla? If Enphase, consider upgrading your solar install to include a System Controller and get a spare conduit run from your charger location to the controller. This allows you to be V2H-ready when Enphase...
