  1. 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...
  2. 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...
  3. 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...
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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*...
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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"?
  13. Half-Shaft issue thread

    As someone who is quickly approaching out of warranty, what should I be doing about half shafts on a DMP? And what should I expect cost wise out of warranty, and how often?
  14. Mark Rober teases R2 modification

    Those squirrels are finally going to get what's coming to them.....
  15. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    Seriously though, stay on top of your colon health.
  16. R2 audio system is being tuned with "amazing results" per Wassym

    Blah blah blah. They need to get back to quality speakers with good magnets and more windings, but especially a decent powered subwoofer. I don't know why they keep trying to "fix" the audio when they've put themselves behind the 8 ball with materials. Speakers need to play the frequencies...
  17. What’s Coming in 2026.15 Update, Including Rivian Assistant

    This is really interesting. Just picked the car up from service and asked it again what my range would be at 80 miles an hour, and it actually started to give a very broad estimation that wasn't entirely specific to my current driving dynamics, but wasnt the simple number on the dash reading...
  18. What’s Coming in 2026.15 Update, Including Rivian Assistant

    I'm recanting slightly. Just noticed that there is a wake word setting. I think it's reasonable for anything that's deemed safety related to require a physical button push to interact with the assistant. That way you don't have random passengers or conversations triggering potentially...
