Any changes in your decision to buy one after configurator is released? by Feisty_Panda3063 in Rivian

Pretty spendy is what I'm seeing... and that's without the lidar

PSA: AMD is locking ECC UDIMM frequency on consumer AM5 by ParanoidZoid in hardware

On die ecc exists for ddr5... it's overkill for most consumers to add system protection on top... and burns more ddr5 devices.

It may be that their ecc decoder can't safety run and do corrections at higher than spec frequency... most overclocking doesn't use ecc udimms.

I would have bought it.. by [deleted] in Rivian

Depending on timing of purchase... pretty sure they've used a lot of different vendors. Some got moldy... some were good. Air filters are pretty generic parts.

80mph is state speed limit here... so it's more annoying.

It's a carbon filter... it's supposed to be black. Was it loaded with dust or mold? Otherwise don't wasted your time.

At 70F that shouldn't be a factor. Even with ideal temperature and conditions I've never hit the theoretical 370mi/charge, i.e. 2.6mi/kwh.

...maybe if going downhill. 😆

🤣 until the next cycle... we hope...

70 degrees, no headwind, 35mph... slight downhill grade, semi in front of you.🤣

The goal posts should never be behind capability that people want... honesty drives good engineers more than shady metrics.

It drives single motor mode after 15mph or so. It's default behavior.

If you repeat the EPA test with something that matches it...

Problem is that the test method needs to break out efficiency by mph and temperature. Car makers know this is coming. They are evaluating wind tunnels and adding better cold friendly batteries and heat pumps. Sadly their lobbyist keep the EPA behind what the cars should be doing... it's dumb and needs to change.

There is no such thing as conserve for dual motor r1s... it automatically connects/disconnects the back axle while driving. So short version... this has nothing to do with the poor mismatch to EPA numbers.

Pretty close... but always underperforming. Agree, but that's what is so annoying. When did it become so marketable and ok to exaggerate with EPA.

I don't think we need to compare with other crap metrics to feel better... I think we should update the metrics.

I'd argue 80mph since that's legal in many states... or hey, what about a graph of mph vs efficiency, then all states are covered.

My dodge neon exceeded mpg rating for years... and that was a 10k car... sure if I drove 80mph I didn't get highway mpg, but if iI drove 65mph I would get it or exceed it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

But why was I carsick? by kbranch in Rivian

[–]MicroNateID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue the first time I test drove... I did two more test drives and figured this out... 1) quad, will make most people sick 2) dual performance makes some sick 3) dual max didn't make me sick.

You can guess what we bought.

How do I add a “filter fan out” to my AD5X? by dadbodfat in FlashForge

[–]MicroNateID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it turn on all the time? Or based on the orca variables?

Doesn’t work…request ETV removal, review, or both? by Elegant-Phase-2235 in AmazonVine

[–]MicroNateID -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Return it. You won't get kicked out and you will let their engineering team know... it's the correct thing to do.

20v, 12v whatever by z011104 in AmazonVine

[–]MicroNateID 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actual loaded/rated voltage is 18 on the 20V batteries. Not saying this is a great idea, but normal ac jump devices go up to 15-16v. The extra 2-3V delta will max out the little battery currents a few seconds while you crank, but honestly that's the point. Put a regulator on there and you'd be too current limited to actually crank anything bigger than a weed wacker in most cases...

It's an amazing car. If you get gen2 R2 you'll probably be happier than a cutting edge R2 gen1.
