Yes to both. I got a cheap holster similar to the one in the picture, and mounted it outside (the EVSE is inside), and the cable passes under the garage door. That way, the handle stays where I actually want it, and it "plugs into" the holster so it's protected from rain/spray.

TBH, that looks a lot like my DIY PPF. Not great, but after the hours and hours of toil trying to get it right, it kind of forced me to not care as much about the imperfections (cause what am I going go to to fix it?). And yeah some of the surfaces start to collect dirt, but I'm just turning a...

I'm just reviving this thread to say that after 2 months, this "fix" has completely solved the issue for me. Sure, the various nicks and scratches are still there, but sharpied out, I haven't noticed or really thought about them even once while driving. Coloring in the scratches has completely...

My understanding of the "Tesla Remote Meter" is that it's a Nurio energy/amp meter with CTs for your feeders. You have to run some low voltage twisted pair wiring from the remote meter mounted at your main panel to the location of your Tesla wall charger. There are other systems too, including...

There's no chance. Rivian isn't claiming/promising any of the Lidar features/capabilities for launch R2, and there's significant body work and electrical changes needed for all the RAP hardware. The "good news" is they've said the LIDAR setup will be at parity with the non-LIDAR for the first...

Emporia Pro comes with a Vue 3 that acts as a power monitor and throttle for the EVSE. When it approaches a threshold you set (~100A), it starts to drop the charge rate to keep your current flow under the service limit. That's the only way I could get a permitted EVSE installed on our 100A...

In my area, $2k was the bare minimum for EVSE install, and this is with the most bog-simple setup possible (1ft from main panel, no cutting through drywall or punching through out side of the house, using the 3ft flexible conduit included with the EVSE itself). Part of it was the mandatory...

Software is arguably the most complex thing humans have ever created. Not all software of course, but the amount of thought that has to go into frontend/backend design/implementation/testing, multi-component support, multi-sku support, failover/backup/exception handling, memory/resource pressure...

If you were buying my 2025 Tri, you'd see it was in for service like 8 times for warranty work in the last 1.5 years, for sensor/computer replacements, tonneau replacement, cladding re-attachment, preemptive 12v replacement, camera diagnostic, etc. etc. It's still the best car I've owned.

A few weeks back I responded to an offer to try out a Red Tiger dashcam, and they were kind enough to select me and send me an F7NA, along with a 128GB card and a hardwire kit. I get to keep it, and write up some impressions, but they don't see/review it beforehand and I don't have any affiliate...

Check out the State of Charge YT channel. The guy does extremely detailed tests on all varieties of chargers, and includes things like cable bend and freeze tests, extremely thorough. As stated before, most chargers are fancy on/off switches for 240v power, and most will be absolutely fine for...

My Emporia Pro charger is wifi-connected and apparently I can turn it on and off with an app. I have a Home Assistant control exposed through a 3rd party Emporia integration too so I can set it to turn on or off by time, when my car is at home/away, or any other kind of trigger or control I set...

Oh...now I'm not sure how to answer. For my Rivian, once every 2-3 drives. For our current Tesla, 10-15 times over the last 8 years, zero times in the last 2-3 years.

Nothing's good enough for you, is it?

12+ amp continuous from a standard 120v receptacle is a LOT of heat. The wires are typically rated for 15A (at most 20A) and normally they have a sizeable buffer for continusous load. Over time it's not uncommon to get discoloration. I've been doing L1 charging for over 9 years, including a...

I wonder if it's possible to install a pull-strap fixed to the inner frunk lid; may help folks in wheelchairs get the hood to a manageable closing height.

Try a hard reboot (hold down the far-left button on the steering wheel and the hazard button together, for 5 or so seconds). Sometimes after updates, sensors or computers will fail to immediately come back online.

It's all asked and answered by now. There was a lot of talk when Max pack was first released, and also Gen2. Rivian was originally planning ~180kwh for max pack but that didn't pan out. Same with Cybertruck BTW. And over the last decade, people have figured out the EPA cycle and range estimates...

380 one way...man that's a haul. Have you seen the various range tests? This one is R1T Gen2 max pack aero wheels, in the winter. The video is a painful slog to sit through, but if you jump to the end of the test, you can see how far they go. Tl;dr: The result was something like 267 miles...

Changelog seems to be consistent with what was posted here earlier. I don't have a chance to check it out until tomorrow though....
