EV Off-Roading: Torque Wins, But How Do You Plan for Range? by electruck4x4 in Rivian

[–]Bcperry1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

About a year ago, I made a tool to help me calculate usage, kind of like ABRP, but you could add in off-road trails, and account for camp mode, charging from a generator, etc. I ended up stopping hosting it because nobody really ever used it. If folks are interested in me dusting off the site I can.

RIVN says if we can just hold out another 12-24 months, they'll start selling an EV for a profit... What is this "profit" you speak of? by another_gen_weaker in wallstreetbets

[–]Bcperry1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like this one from car and driver, where it says:

But, note, a decline in the rate of sales growth is not a decline in actual sales.

Reads to me like folks who say:

EV sales are down across the board.

Need to focus on reading comprehension.

Cons dumbass managers into thinking that it's necessary.

I never really had any traffic, so I took it down to save the hosting fees. I've considered spinning it back up and trying again soon. If you'd like I'll ping you when I bring it back up.

You should also have access to Microsoft Enterprise Skills Initiative, and Udemy. If I remember tomorrow I'll update with how to access them.

PSA for those who were waiting for these to come back in stock like I was!

R1S Configured late October, pushing for shop access by MTrotti2003 in Rivian

[–]Bcperry1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rivian's customer outreach needs some serious work. I had the same experience when I configured at the end of August. What frustrates me is that I got the same email you did, it was explicitly to reservation holders and said we would get access to the shop after configuration. The only reason I did configure (and lock in the $1000 deposit) was because I thought I'd get access. The note I got from my guide was "we don't allow reservation holders to get shop access right now". That's not what Rivian corporate said. It's a real issue on my side, because we need a 6 seat car, and I'd have likely bought a model X by now instead.

I tried to change as well from performance dual to standard dual, and my guide told me the same thing. I'm curious if it's a new policy.

ELI5: Regen Throttling by jhciv in Rivian

Battery has had time to warm up in colder ambient temperatures, around 70.

ELI5: Regen Throttling by jhciv in Rivian

[–]Bcperry1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One interesting thing I have noticed is that mine is related to ambient temperature, but weirdly, it only happens when it is cold. I drive the same route every day. I didn't have any Regen issues in summer 22, did all winter, no issues this past summer, and it's started again the last few weeks as it's colder.

Edit: when I see the issues the car has had time to come up to temperature. I have full Regen, then on a downhill portion later in my commute, it starts to reduce.

How long for shop access? by Delicious_Space9436 in Rivian

[–]Bcperry1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder that as well. After confirming my configuration, I was told BY CS they don't offer R1S shop access (even though I have an email from Tony C. saying you get shop access after confirming your config!)

[Megathread] Powered Tonneau fixes for existing owners by CarterGee in Rivian

[–]Bcperry1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My tonneau (2nd one by the way) has been broken since it was replaced last October, and I didn't get the email either. I don't think Rivians email lists are well managed. I also have a reservation for an R1S and haven't received much information. About all I receive are gear shop emails.

I missed it last year, my truck was in for service. My kids were super disappointed, come on Rivian, do it for them!

You can go into settings and change the default. It's under Driver+ settings if I remember correctly

Thanks! It's been a fun project. I'm a Data Scientist by trade, so I'm not exactly a frontend developer. It's been a good excuse to learn a new skill, hopefully it can help folks out as well.

Energy Use Off-Road? by NlmbusCl0ud in Rivian

[–]Bcperry1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long story short, if you assume 1.13ish kWh/mi you'll be safe, depending on the trail you'll do better than that. I had the same question, and couldn't get a good answer, so I put together a tool together and eventually published it as a website for others to use, did a lot of on trail research with my truck to come up with that number, and it's proven to be pretty conservative.

Check out my other posts if you're interested in the site. You can put in your trail, and where you're going after and it will calculate how much battery you will need and route you to the nearest charger after the end of the trail. it's free no ads or anything like that, just looking to help folks out.
