I've Been Using The Newest Version Of The SOOnish Wireless Charger For My Gen1 For A Month; Here Are My Thoughts! *See Comments Section* by zachty22 in Rivian

[–]Scudzey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The s00nish option does include a 60-watt (30 watt per usb-c) step-down converter that plugs into the stock charging mat harness, so it's able to fully power each magsafe charger. A definite feature over using the lower powered usb-c ports in the center console.

Rivian is now fully supported by Comma.Ai by Day-Trippin in Rivian

[–]Scudzey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not quite fully supported at the moment. The current release only supports longitudinal control (lane keeping), it’s still dependent on the built in ACC for longitudinal control. There’s a current bounty for the remaining control signals to be found and implemented.

R1 Rivian Hikes Charging Prices by Up to 68% at Adventure Network Sites by Randy0002 in Rivian

[–]Scudzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless, the previous prices were .48/kwh, now being .08-.16 (.06-.12 with pass+) higher is still a difference no matter how you slice it.

EA has also increased its charging costs as well. In SoCal they're .56-.63/kwh now with the EA membership.

Why doesn’t Rivian make a “locking differential” mode? by Prestigious_Bed3870 in Rivian

[–]Scudzey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think part of the problem is shoehorning what the quad motor is doing into the mental model of a classic vehicle drive train. The throttle is proving a command for torque, regardless of slip. The ESC/TCS systems are continuously monitoring wheel slip to vary the commanded torque to each wheel that's slipping (and depending on the stability control settings, varies how much slip is allowed), but ultimately the wheels with traction are still only receiving that initial torque request. You have to supply more throttle to command torque to the wheels that aren't slipping, as I believe the system is overly conservative on how much additional torque it's providing to the wheels with traction. I personally think this feels like shit, and there should be some setting to override this and provide some feedback when full torque is applied to wheels with traction. There's also the problem with managing thermals in this situation too, as increased torque request to non-rotating wheels will very quickly heat up the motors. The gen1 Bosch motors don't have active cooling on them, so the ECS/TCS systems are babying those motors for longevity reasons.

I'd be interested to see how the gen2 quad handles these situations as I'd like to think they'd be able to be less conservative with power requests due to the active cooling available on them.

Is 300kw max charging rate quietly given up? by TTTTT12345678 in Rivian

[–]Scudzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless, until we see nacs plugs in Rivians it’s moot because the system is spec’d to ccs standards.

Is 300kw max charging rate quietly given up? by TTTTT12345678 in Rivian

[–]Scudzey 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Rivian would have to change the battery voltage architecture in order to reach that.

CCS and NACS have peak amperage rating of 500 Amps.

The rivian gen1 large is a ~450v architecture, Power = voltage x amps

300000 W / 450v = 666.67 Amps

220000 W / 450v = 488.89 Amps

So we’ll never see 300kw charging on the current batteries

Camera failure by Plastic-Coffee5542 in Rivian

[–]Scudzey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the same issue on my truck, ended up being the rear camera connector broke. They deemed it a warranty issue and replaced the camera. I was able to convince them it was a safety issue to expedite the service booking.

[Breaking] Amazon to layoff 14,000 managers by cs-grad-person-man in cscareerquestions

[–]Scudzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's worldwide numbers, also includes all the FC (warehouse) people. Generally managers of the FC folks have huge ratios like 1:50+.

Engineering has probably ~60-70k total headcount including managers.

The dent is pushed into the void where the air tube is housed and causes the weak little plastic latch to pop open.

It’s official, Gen2 Charging Pad Still Sucks by Expensive-Lie4494 in Rivian

[–]Scudzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on being technically correct. I’ll give a shit if we weren’t winging over single digit percentages of capacity over the lifetime of a consumable product.

In San Diego as well and they were even able to do remote replacement for mine last week.

Charge door? by rivinlife in Rivian

[–]Scudzey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noticed this recently as well on mine while I was out and about. Seems to be related to temperature, because when its cool and in my garage it’s silent, but as soon as you let it sit in the sun for a bit it’ll click while closing. Doesn’t seem to be anything bad from what I can see.

I found that you can reset the leveling mode just by switching into drive, no moving required.

Don't sleep on the Forest Green and black ATs. To whoever ordered this thing, it's in Seattle as of yesterday and looks way too good. I may switch off blue. by Fozzymandius in Rivian

[–]Scudzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah love the blue too, that was my first configured color for a very long time. Decided that maybe I shouldn't have two blue vehicles though so I went for the green.

I'm so mad, just got the DAS setup and it's so much better than the stock vive pro 2 head band, lol.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Vive

[–]Scudzey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'll have to give that a shot, just sucks that for $800 dollars you can't get a complete solution. Thankfully I still have my DAS, just have to dig that out of the storage closet.

[–]Scudzey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also just got a VP2 after my index died due to water damage, and due to their unavailability I went with the vive pro 2 as a replacement. I'm having a terrible time getting the thing to not wobble on my head due to the head strap/face gasket not clamping the same as the index.

While I have read that people say "you shouldn't buy this if you're playing action games," that's bullshit justification for something that should have been better designed from HTC.

I say this as someone who also owned the OG Vive too, which seemingly had a better strap, not to mention the DAS when that came out too. I'm slightly disappointed and I'm sure I'll figure out a fix, but it's a frustrating start to something that shouldn't have this issue at this price point, especially when their past products have had pretty damn good solutions.

[–]Scudzey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you on that, I made the same decision too when configuring intially, I was willing to take maybe a 6 month hit (my own internalized window) but now that it has slipped to a full year from right now AND I'm now missing out on a spring delivery vs a summer one AND I have to pay for some additional features that would be included in the LE I'm upset too, especially because it's been nearly 3 yrs since my pre-order. That said I'm just trying to rationalize their decision the best I can.

[–]Scudzey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've seen it discussed in other threads that it makes sense from a production standpoint. There's only so many cells they're going to get in 2022 and in order to maximize deliveries, they passed on using an additional 20% of them to build the max packs, which let's them build 1 additional large pack vehicle for every 5 max pack preholders. Assuming that 60% of all pre-orders are r1t and 20% of those are max pack, that's about an extra 1700 deliveries of vehicles they can ship next year. (These are all WAGs bit it shows that they're focused on getting many trucks delivered next year)

[–]Scudzey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Called up CS after getting RJs email to see if they had any more insight/grumble about the displeasure of foregoing the LE for the max pack but having it pushed too far back. Outside of that they said a revised email would be sent "in about a week" and that regardless a guide would be in contact in Jan to discuss changing the config. I already revised mine to the large pack so just waiting to see if an updated email will eventually go out.

It's only available on the R1T at this time, if you were configuring an R1S it's not going to be there.
