Oddest use of your 120V outlets?

You are going to have some 'tock sounds.

That was Gort being friendly. You’d probably need 230V if he’s in a Klaatu barada nikto mood.

I'm curious about the ways folks have been creative with their power outlets. I love the bouncy house photos from another thread.

I'm the weirdo trying to remove that new car smell VOCs.

If that's an ozone generator you risk doing a lot of damage to the interior, O3 will quickly age/degrade plastic, which is every surface in the car (including your seats).

Great to know, thanks! It's just a fan with an activated carbon filter, it does not perform ionization.

I powered a film set:

You can just see the tailgate of my R1T on the other side of the grip truck in the background. The light, the camera, the client monitor and (iirc) the teleprompter are running off of my truck. I was about to fire up a generator when I thought, "You know, it would be way quieter to just use the Rivian!" #riviansonset

... The set is a gas station?

I actually tripped the breaker on my outlets this weekend tailgating for the first time. I had a crock pot on low, rice cooker mid-cycle, a Duxtop induction burner turned up pretty high and then my wife ran the Nespresso machine and that's what pushed it over the top. Was easy enough to turn the outlets back on and didn't have any other issues since everything was turned down to keep warm settings a few minutes later.

Making espresso ice coffee for weary offroad Rivians like the trip up to Santiago Peak in Orange County.

Used a microwave oven while out camping with the family.

Ran a pressure washer from my bed outlets at my grandparents' house. Hose bibb was on one side of the house, but no outlet nearby. Worked great.

I charged a couple of e-bikes while driving down to the waterfront. It was brilliant arriving with fully charged bike batteries.

I've been using the 120 volt outlet to power a USB-C charger.

There are USB-C outlets everywhere in the vehicle, but they are uselessly slow.

Rivian, why did you get rid of the 12v outlet? And why did you use such low powered USB-C outlets everywhere?

DC->AC->DC is such a stupid way to charge your phone.
