I think that was it! I looked up at time and it was a turbo 3 cylinder. I was honestly impressed with it for the money.

Butt Dyno has been a long standing favorite of mine! And I do get it...G2 Tri is feeling faster to people who have both. I am just noting feeling and butt dynos can be very tricky...

How much faster? I thought it was a tenth or two? I suppose maybe that is "significantly". Again...throttle mapping and power delivery curves play lots of mind tricks on "launches harder". Also note that Launch Mode is comming to G1 QM at some point and that may change that "butt dyno" stuff...

Typically you want hard facts...and hard facts say that isn't true. And now anecdotal "feels" are what you are citing? Edit...I forgot...you like complete replies although don't provide same back. It does feel like a different powertrain...becuase it completely is? It doesn't have G1 QM...

Agree! The G2 Tri fits a role of filling the void between the G2 Dual and upcoming Halo G2 Quadmax.

But arguably wheeling is a limited appeal to Rivian buyers as a whole. Why between my wife and daughters we have three Wranglers of varying spec and modifications. Nothing...beats a lifted 2 door Wrangler with lockers and 37's. Would lockers be cool in a model of Rivian? Absolutely! I would...

Could simply be throttle mapping? Unless you are saying your G1 Quad would not break the tires loose at all...in which case something was very wrong with it. This "feels faster" thing is typically a mind trick with throttle mapping...stability programming...etc... when the instrumentation...

It's a "tweener" and could be some people's "sweet spot". Since we all have different priorities...my sweet spot is a G2 Halo Quadmax...because I value ultimate performance over efficiency. The Trimax just doesn't offer me enough (performance...very negligible) to justify that spend. Not...

Both!

Mine has been working great too. G1

It would be cool if Rivian had a screen with a PID type diagram with valve positions, fan operation, compressor operation, temps, etc... We could all gain alot if understanding from that.

You and me both....so two unicorns. Mine all works great too. 20's and no shake...no pull....no appreciable vamp drain....paak mostly works(just wish it would lock quicker as I walk away)...all at 54k and going on 3 years. I just went in garage to knock on the wood dash!

That does look nice and smooth!

Alternator is necessary...but loss of it doesn't brick a vehicle immediately...vehicles can run on their 12v batteries for a decent amount of time allowing safe exit of the highway.

I get what you are saying too. I guess it really comes down to which is better designed and built and could ultimately be a non-issue either way. A poorly designed or manufactured resistive heater could be more problematic than a well designed and manufactured heat pump...and vice-versa.

Or maybe running that compressor and the valves year round on the heat pump versus summer only means those heat pumps could be an Achilles heal and be $5k repair bills just out of warranty for all G2 owners? Pretty much all speculation on if G1 or G2 will be more reliable long run. But as far...

Alternator dies....lights come on....and you can typically get off the road with plenty of time to spare....

I am at about same mileage with one built a little before yours. I plan to keep it for a while unless a big repair or G2 Halo Quadmax lust takes over.... Although replacing it wouldn't hurt my financial picture i can use that money for other things that have my attention or simply keep it...

I had an alternator die once in an old car with like 200k miles on it when I was 16. Still made it home on the battery alone but was losing 12v power as I drove. Gauges even all started to act weird...but car ran all way home for at least a half hour... "So if you are going to correct...

7.5kw seems maybe a little large but maybe not with all the glass. But that would only come into play at warm up and then at design temps which I assume are something like -15 degF for these things maybe?
