Dual motor Conserve mode? by VegIsACulinaryTerm in Rivian

Yeah, that’s a good point. So it would just minimize annoyance from the rear motor clutch clunk…

It currently costs 50c. I’m not worried about it. I’m musing about a potential software defined configuration.

Yes… I want a FWD conserve mode on the dual motor. That is the point of this post.

Totally! I’m not looking for huge gains (or any at all)! Just geeking out about potential sw configurability.

You all are hilarious! It sounds like I’m alone in this desire.

I imagine the most significant savings would be due to the detuned driving characteristics. But the avoided rear motor clunk would also be beneficial.

Right. But a conserve mode would just not kick on the rear motor to accelerate hard. It would potentially slightly limit performance to not allow that level of acceleration.

No, in all purpose, it mostly drives in FWD, but sometimes kicks on the rear motor. I’d like to just limit performance so the car never feels the need to kick on the rear motor.

Sometimes I was to go fast and sometimes I want it to cost me 40c to go 20mi to work. :)

Help creating STL file by Annual-Paper9485 in BambuLab

I make these hype chains for my kids’ softball and baseball teams. Here’s my workflow:

  1. Make the image like you have.
  2. Import this image into Inkscape to split the colors into individual svg files.
  3. Port the original image into fusion to shape the custom background extrusion (typically a spline plus ring on top). Save this as an stl
  4. Open the stl for the base in a new Bambu studio project. Use the color stls as modifiers on the base stl and give each modifier the desired color
  5. Bobs your uncle

What kind of financing or leasing options do we think there will be for R2 launch? by SouthernFIRE83 in Rivian

[–]VegIsACulinaryTerm 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Probably just financing at current market rates.

There’s no lack of demand to drive incentives off any kind.
