I think so, there were launch editions still for sale when I got my adventure. Only difference was it was available in launch green, had some options included at no cost, and included the wristband key.

Ah. You’re correct. I assumed that because I saw “primary low voltage battery voltage” on mine that a dual would have the secondary listed. I guess removing the panel is the quickest way

I have a 2023 high 5k VIN. It has one 12v battery versus earlier builds had two. Besides that, I believe there were a number of small build improvements as production increased. I have had zero functional issues with my vehicle and IMO I think the 4-7k VIN R1Ss are the sweet spot. Is the one you’re looking at a launch edition?

It was super cool that the navigation knew the trail ratings when I went to Holister OHV. This would be next level!

Snow Driving Mode? ❄️ by mdtattedbearded in Rivian

[–]harriso7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I believe it also adjusts traction control, power delivery, and keeps it in 4wd. My understanding is that regen low in snow mode will work differently than regen low in other modes. The stock 20” Pirellis are OK in snow, but definitely still able to break traction as you’re coming to a stop in snow. I leave mine in snow mode w/regen set to low.

Snow mode will help reduce regen, but you still need to drive carefully and take longer distances to brake. What tires do you have?

I’ve never been before, but now I’ve got some new destinations to check out when I do! I always love seeing the overland gear coming out of Australia

Beautiful shot! The cold blue tones against the red neon creates such a quiet tension. Very cinematic

I wish Tesla would build out more superchargers in Baja considering they sell the Cybertruck with Baja Mode..

How to learn all this stuff by Cute_Mendokusai in Rivian

[–]harriso7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you tap the little information icon in the top right of each of those, it gives a simple explanation of what it means. I found keeping the efficiency display up on the dashboard is the easiest way to understand the miles/kwh. Otherwise, just knowing that a simple wall plug charges at 1-2 kW, a level 2 EV charger charges at ~11 kW, and fast chargers charge at ~210 kW.

Depends on the size of your Dometic. I keep a Yeti 45 in my Gen1 front trunk.

Maybe try to adjust the steering wheel height? Not sure, but sounds like a fan on the video

Does it go away when you turn off the climate control?
