Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
It probably has the same chip in it as the keycard, thusly not requiring a separate ID. My uneducated guess.
Can you explain why low regen and coasting is more efficient? I would have assumed that holding the accelerator in a “neutral” position such that you have no acceleration and little to no regen would accomplish exactly the same thing. In an EV, the motor has to provide some energy to “coast” like this, regardless of your regen setting, as the motor naturally wants to resist the inertia of the turning wheels to recover electricity.
Not exactly. EPA will make you test in whatever mode is “predominant.” Usually this means whatever mode is the key-on default. Depending on how they implement that mode, and how much margin they had to their stated targets, they may or may not have made that mode the key-on default. Usually a range maximization mode will compromise on things like HVAC power and max acceleration, so not necessarily something they’d want to force you to change every cold morning or hot afternoon!
Please don’t be so sure that years of over the air updates will improve your truck.
You are 100% correct, maintaining a perfectly neutral position in a one pedal driving setup should be the same as coasting. I just find it way harder to do so than simply taking my foot off the accelerator. I probably would learn to do so, but I have tried on my VW and don’t like it. If I want to slow down slowly in the most efficient way possible, I want to coast. I think having “provide power” in one pedal and “slow down” via another pedal is a better use experience than needing to thread the needle with one pedal. Blended breaking is an elegant solution to doing so with efficient regeneration.
Same as my Tesla. I toggle my down for freeway driving.I thought the Motor Trend guys and maybe also @DuckTruck mentioned there were about 4 regen settings, but according to the manual there are only 2 (high and standard)
That’s still 10A, what exactly are you planning to run??
You can, I use a battery op Dewalt compressor for my BOTE. It takes a while with mine hopefully the Rivian will have a better air flow rate. I currently use the manual pump up to 8-10psi and use the compressor to finish. You will need one of these likely (unless it is an included accessory):Minor question: can i use the compressor to fill up my inflatable SUPTime to go adapter hunting.
"With individual tire pressure display."I can't tell if this system only identifies a low tire pressure in any tire and does not tell you which tire it is. This seems to be the trend with newer vehicles which I don't like. Rather have the pressure listed for each tire and for it to tell me which tire is low and the pressure in that tire.
Awesome! I already have a pump that came with my board and it only takes 8-10 minutes, but if I could use the car compressor without having to bring another device I would love it.
