This is true - and an interesting fact about the ProPower system. Even though they are fed by the same "circuit", each of the 120v legs is limited to 20 amps (16 sustained, 1,920 watts), but the 240v line which uses both of the legs has the full 30 amps available (24 sustained, 5,760 watts).

This is a cool idea. I come close to tripping the 120v outlet when I use an electric pressure washer. (it does trip when I add a 200w pump on the same extension cord.) Would be nice to have more amps available.

I'm not certain, but I believe if you shift to neutral and the auto-hold is engaged you will see a message on the dash saying you can tap the brake pedal to disengage the auto-old.

This is well-stated, in my opinion. Have a good base of knowledge in how your vehicle performs in various circumstances and you should be able to set your own reasonable expectations based on the math you pointed out. To that I would only add that I have noticed the range estimate does appear...

Yep, I hit OK on all the warnings and then the next time I shift to R the warnings all reappear.

It's every time. I was executing a multi-point turn trying get the trailer turned around in a tight space so I was shifting somewhat frequently.

To this I would add that you might want to check with your utility to see if they offer rebates for installing a home EVSE. In my case they had specific models that earned a $500 rebate which fully covered my cost.

Yes, I've gone through all the setup steps. It's not the sensors themselves, but rather all the warnings on the dash telling me that "cross traffic sensing is disabled" etc... I'm just tired of being warned about it.

I just towed for the first time yesterday and had a similar situation. After I disconnected the trailer, the truck still seemed to think I was towing (as indicated by my range estimate) and I needed to specifically go to the towing screen to select No Active Trailer. My guess is that the truck...

Disregarding wait times, I like them both, but for different reasons of course. The R1S is certainly more refined, drives tighter, and software is better. Lightning is of course a truck so it drives like one but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's cushier for long trips and I like the...

Ahh! A fellow Rivian + Lightning owner!!

Agreed... It's the same as when folks talk about towing. The efficiency effects are basically the same between EV and ICE. Some may think I'm crazy to run these tires, but I rarely drive far enough to make range a question, and the additional cost per mile is small. I enjoy the aggressive look...

I replaced the stock tires with Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T size 285/60r20 mounted on 20x9 rims with +20 offset. (Stock wheel offset is +44.) I am noticing a fairly substantial efficiency reduction, like >10%.

I am VERY interested in your comment about the 50% power limit in your motor. I had this same exact thing happen to me once a couple weeks ago. Outside temp was about 51 degrees, and I've driven in much colder temps with no power limiting so I was concerned there was some kind of issue. Power...

My 2013 Leaf did the same thing. Updated GoM immediately when I turned on the heat. Clearly it can be done, and HAS BEEN done for quite some time.

I have owned four EVs. Not all use the GoM in the same sense. It's an inherently flawed approach because it's estimating your remaining range on your recent past driving, which may be fine in terms of your particular driving style and maybe your use of the climate control (because those factors...

With all that driving have you been able to take advantage of BlueCruise?

^^THIS^^ ...was a great explanation, and I wish more folks understood this. Well said! "Small tanks and few gas stations" is exactly what I try to explain to naysayers who believe EVs are inferior. Both of these factors are improving, but it's slow going. And if you normalize for those factors...

The concept is sound. Basically you're wanting to use your truck like a PowerWall. The problem is you're only optimizing for the few items you're plugging in. Probably not even worth the hassle unless you run your whole house on it. And even then, it's not going to make you rich...

I was experiencing the same issue. Eventually it did work.
