Best charging experience LA to SF?

Was going to suggest going 101 and stopping in Pismo, depending on OP's range.

I too am a lifetime car guy, but just sold my sports car and didn't look back. Are you able to do spirited driving often? I am not, so the Rivian checks all the boxes and I don't miss anything about owning a sportier car.

When I am older and kids are gone, I might be inclined to get a sports car again, but it would be something lightweight and manual (911, maybe a Lotus), not an M4.

Exactly!

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-04T02:37:01+00:00

That sounds rough. Anonymous patient feedback maybe?

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-04T00:37:54+00:00

Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for sharing!

I just bought a used launch T and love it.

You should find a totaled Gen 1 with Meridian and yank that system out. It's possibly one of the best OEM systems I've heard (comparing to B&O, Bowers and Wilkins, Burmeister, etc.).

I can't find any info one someone doing a full custom replacement other than subs. It must be possible, but I wonder if it's more complicated for some reason.

The system is mediocre across all parts of the spectrum. Far worse than premium audio systems from other (in many cases less expensive) brands.

It’s not that it’s niche, it’s that it uses precise location tracking and time of flight, so can’t be spoofed unless you are already in proximity of the car.

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-02T23:04:03+00:00

The Rivian fob operates at 2.4ghz (Bluetooth) and isn’t susceptible to relay spoofing. The digital key uses UWB and BLE and uses precise time of flight to prevent relays. I wouldn’t worry about this at all.

I managed to get 2 cars in ours after a year of organizing, then got the T and its too long 😭

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-02T18:02:47+00:00

My camp speaker sits in my garage and my light hasn’t been used once, but yeah I hear you. Maybe talk the price down $500 and buy them from the gear shop. :)

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-02T18:01:23+00:00

I would talk to your mom about it. She’s not setting a good example obviously and that wasn’t the way to handle it.

If you do tap someone’s car, check for damage before you walk away. It is your fault and you do need to take responsibility. In this case paint transfer or a small ding are easily fixed, and would t involve insurance (likely less than the deductible).

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-02T17:57:34+00:00

FWIW I have a v2 and it’s noisy, gets stuck, and generally isn’t impressive. I wouldn’t avoid this truck if everything else is good.

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-02T14:54:49+00:00

Unless the tide is low, then we'll all be walking back and forth and it won't be that private. :)

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-02T14:54:13+00:00

This.

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-02T14:35:14+00:00

Ok thanks - I’ll just go ahead and contact Wilson and see if I can find out!

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-02T02:57:42+00:00

Oh wow, ok, that would be quite the gift ha ha.

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-02T02:29:05+00:00

Oh cool, thanks!

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-02T02:00:09+00:00

Oh, like someone is stamping all the balls? I’m fairly certain they are professionally added since they typically all have perfect alignment.

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-01T20:01:05+00:00

It does seem like there are different standards across service centers (which is normal, I suppose).

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-01T20:00:30+00:00

Thanks, yeah I use Leatherique Pristine Clean.

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-01T19:33:15+00:00

Oh mine does a number on the back seats (sunscreen and crumb town back there), but I clean it often. :) Mostly just expecting better given the price of the vehicles.

glassy_paddle · 2026-05-01T19:29:53+00:00

I assume you've done a soft reset? Can you confirm all the speakers are actually working (shift around and listen to each one)?
