New Items in Gear Shop: Power Bank (+ Hand Warmer), Dark Crossbars, Center Console Organizer

[Donald Stanfield]

I wish I could order the truck with the power bank instead of the flashlight. More likely to use that.

How many Rivian owners only have one hand though (handwarmer function)? Rivian should sell replacement door panels with a whole bunch of charging slots for gear.

Splurged and grabbed the above + Halloween Gear Guard for the littles along with a hat.

Happy Halloween everyone

I was going to grab the Halloween Gary for our daughter to compliment No Pants regular Gary that she already has, but the Yosemite outpost was closed

Shame the power bank isn't a 3-in-1. For $125, no reason a flashlight couldn't be all three.

They want you to keep a free hand to... uh, never mind.

No, that's what the extra holes in the door are for.

One of the avid 3-d printer types on this forum (hint, hint!) should come up with a bracket to hold the flashlight/power bank that _isn_ in the charge port for those of us who think they might want one of each. Of course, those of us who benefitted from such a project would be willing to pay a reasonable amount to buy one.

We have a 3D printing business. Any thoughts on where you'd like to store the spare flashlight/PowerBank? Perhaps in the Center Console/ArmRest?

Imported from China? I don't think I checked if there was a label on mine at all. Interesting.

Just checked mine. There are no labels other than a QR code + serial #. Aren't there laws requiring country of origin? Scan of the QR code with my iPhone reveals the serial #. Feels very cheap compared to the A2Z.

There or the swing out cubby in the front seats.

It would be very cool if the power bank could be used to recharge a dead 12V battery.

It'd be like trying to jump a car with a AA cell. Not possible without new or different battery tech.

Very true. It was sort of a joke, and sort of serious. Serious because a way to get the vehicle moving again after a 12V failure would be good. But it was mostly a joke.

It's 2024 and we still don't have Mr. Fusion or a working Flux Capacitor?! Surely Elon Musk would invented these already? /s

From multiple discussion threads, it's starting to look like a jump pack that has enough juice to wake and keep awake a R1 with failed/failing 12V would need to be one that is substantial. Like the big ones garages and tow truck drivers keep. I don't think my NOCO Boost X GBX45 would even cut it.

Even at a steep price of $45, I couldn't resist getting the center console organizer. It is exactly the type I have been looking for.

The new organizer has a nice space that the power bank can be dropped onto a usb-C dock inside the console... I guess I know what I'll be busy with when my power bank arrives.

Wow already no stock

Flux Capacitor: Fluxing!!!
