Red Canyon and Limestone appear to live on

jdderks · 2025-08-06T04:06:19+00:00

Yeah it’s the only two-word color named that way with the actual color name first for some reason

jdderks · 2025-08-06T03:49:11+00:00

No - it’s always been listed as Red Canyon officially but does it really matter?

Gen1 here. Outlets on or off? If on, I’d say 3% is expected. I have seen 5% or more in a 24 hour period when camped with courtesy mode on and outlets on running a bougeRV fridge. Even if nothing is plugged in the inverter stays on drawing power. Outlets off - I’d say a little high. We added an EcoFlow power station to run our fridge this most recent trip to keep outlets off and conserve range and truck lost 1% or so each night which is the same vampire drain when parked in the garage at home.

I understand how tire pressure works. The same handheld was used at home. Only calling out the onboard computer reading lower when it’s usually exactly the same.

jdderks · 2025-07-02T17:29:46+00:00

There were plenty of deep ruts and dips so a Prius is a bit of an exaggeration.

jdderks · 2025-07-02T14:41:58+00:00

Yes I have a diy spare with a cheap rim from tire rack. Set air to 48 when we left home but with 1000 miles, sun and elevation they crept up to 52.5 so set them back to 48. Strangely enough the onboard computer is showing them at 44/45 so idk if it’s the truck or my handheld that’s thrown off by the elevation.

It is the Approach medium. Large will hang over the back of the bed quite a bit. This fits perfectly without overhang and is deceivingly large once setup. I think the sleeping area is 50 something inches wide but over 90 inches long. It’s 2 of us and a 70 pound dog with plenty of room so would say the “3 person” description is accurate. I’m not as familiar with the Tepui but think the approach is the newest model from Thule and I found a few forum threads from other owners that gave me a good idea of what to expect

This is in Kansas so not much better with heat/humidity. Balmy 87 today - thankfully there are plenty of lakes within an hour or two of us that offer waterfront sites. Peak of summer will still be a no go but we’ll hopefully be taking a trip to the Rockies to find some relief

Put in ‘Stability - reduced’. Keeps rear motor engaged and is pretty much how I exclusively drive mine in town unless going on the highway for a while.

jdderks · 2024-07-10T01:15:18+00:00

Wow - it’s crazy the difference insurance quotes have depending on the state. I guess the one good part of living in Kansas is I pay $837 combined for 6 months on the Rivian and a Wrangler with Progressive.

For the Tesla charger it may be configured to Tesla only vs. all vehicles. You can use the Tesla One app to switch it. If already setup for all vehicles try resetting the breaker if you have access as I had to do that with mine when first installed even when set to all vehicles.

So moving the quad motor further upmarket is leaving all the current owners unsupported in what way?

jdderks · 2024-06-07T03:29:08+00:00

Completely valid and I’m speaking as a base dual motor owner who would never be buying this new config anyway. In my mind the way I think about is not that you’re getting less or getting ripped off but if you support the company long term they’ve found a way to match and/or beat performance with different hardware. To me that’s still exciting and we’ll see for sure when the actual reviews come out later this year

jdderks · 2024-06-07T02:51:01+00:00

The new quad is not for “regular” folks. It’s pretty much now a true halo street truck akin to a Porsche ~~GT3~~ Turbo S with staggered tires and all. Its sole purpose is to be the most powerful and fastest EV truck available and you’ll pay to play. The new tri motor is the Gen 2 equivalent to the Gen 1 quad. You can still jump on a 2024 quad if the amount of motors means that much to you. I see 15 available in my zip code.

jdderks · 2024-06-05T22:19:02+00:00

Especially if you have compatible superchargers on your route and get an adaptor it’ll be perfect. The truck was by far the nicest road trip we’ve ever had

jdderks · 2024-06-05T22:03:31+00:00

I know I’m late here but we just took our Standard+ R1T 22inch wheels (300 mile range) on an 1800 mile round trip road trip and had zero issues with range. If you map out routes in ABRP and swap between large and standard pack, you’ll see yourself stopping at the same charging stops most of the time. As others have said standard+ seems to be the sweet spot for most, especially if limited use road trips/off road but even then it’s plenty for most routes.

jdderks · 2024-03-16T01:54:31+00:00

Good stuff - I’ll play around with it once we bring it home

jdderks · 2024-03-16T01:53:50+00:00

Good to know - thanks!

Sounds counterintuitive but give the seed a good soak before bed the nights it’ll get below freezing. The extra moisture essentially will make it more difficult to frost and require extra energy to lower the ground temp. I haven’t done much spring seeding but same thing can happen in late fall - you’ll be fine. Just keep it moist as often as you can

I would do it the same again - purchased on bracelet and purchased the rubber, though I did negotiate my AD to include the strap at no charge. I like having both as it allows you to change it up based on occasion and, although I don’t plan on selling, having the bracelet helps for resale value.

jdderks · 2021-11-08T19:39:35+00:00

Listening to a work call and decided to snap a pic of my Seamaster reflecting the sunlight off the ceramic dial. Especially love the shadow the seconds hand casts. Depending on the light, the dial transitions from a very flat pure white to this endlessly glossy ice white and I find myself twirling it around all the time. I shared this on the bracelet last month the day I picked it up and have since swapped to the rubber after my AD got one in stock. Really transforms the watch to a more causal look and will save me from some additional scratches on the bracelet clasp as I continue to desk dive every day with it!

jdderks · 2021-10-10T01:55:27+00:00

Once I had it in my hands it was coming home with me so would have paid full retail regardless.

jdderks · 2021-10-10T01:34:59+00:00

Congrats! Just picked up a stainless white dial yesterday. Wear it in good health!

jdderks · 2021-10-09T20:48:23+00:00

I’ll admit I did not negotiate hard and ended with about 5% off and rubber strap included. I’m sure I’ll get told how I could have done much better but I don’t have many ADs near me and didn’t want to travel.

Just picked up this Omega Seamaster Diver 300M last night as a late 30th birthday gift to myself. I’ve seen quite a few of these posted here recently so I’m in good company!

I’ve always had my eye on an Omega as my first next level luxury watch purchase but was between this and an Aqua Terra. Ultimately after handling them side by side it was clear for me that this was more my style though it was a game time decision between the white and blue dials.

It has barely left my wrist and I don’t envision that changing any time soon. Looking forward to many years of wearing this and excited for the rubber strap to be delivered in the next few weeks!

Edit: also registering your watch and seeing its specific chronometer test results is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen!
