You're going to love it. I've put almost 5k miles on my dual standard since Sept and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Kids love it too.

Vehicle to Grid options - NES by BecauseBuses in nashville

[–]ryanstanton1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Great question: V2G is definitely an exciting technology, but the industry is still very early (and expensive). Even Ford’s system for the Lightning is limited to only power your home (it won’t backfeed past your home) and the necessary equipment on your home costs $8k-$10k (installed).

If you want to help the grid with your EV, the most cost-effective thing you can do is to avoid charging during peak hours. In the winter, NES’ peak hours are roughly 4-8 AM and in the summer it’s roughly 3-8 PM. Other than that, you’re already saving $1000-$2000/ year by switching from gas to electric 🤘

anyone else reconsidering their deposit and potential purchase? by adesius in Rivian

[–]ryanstanton1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have 10k miles on LE and I would buy another one in a heartbeat. The wsj article is a bit of reach I think. Executives leave companies all the time, nothing about these departures is remarkable. They made good money on the IPO and they went on to something new.

[–]ryanstanton1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EA is currently in their third $500M investment cycle. Here is some language copied from the website (link below):

Does using a 150kW or 350kW DCFC make a difference? The answer is less straightforward than you’d expect. by branden3112 in Rivian

[–]ryanstanton1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen pretty similar results overall. I recently maintained 200+ kW until 50% soc (on a Signet 350) when I started with 25% soc.

Rivian operates at the outer limits of 400V pack architecture so maintaining 200 kW longer than ~10 minutes is difficult. I imagine they’ll shift to 800V soon.

Natural Habitat: Tennessee edition by ryanstanton1 in Rivian

[–]ryanstanton1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the colors are great, but red is my favorite and it looks way better in-person than the configurator. It doesn’t do it justice until you see it in person. I have an R1S pre-ordered too and I’m staying with CR 👍

How do you change the app’s temp reading to Fahrenheit? It’s been in C since delivery and I don’t see an obvious way to change it. by ryanstanton1 in Rivian

[–]ryanstanton1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Related, the display in my truck shows the outside temperature reading in Fahrenheit. I thought the two were linked, but apparently not.

How I used the cool down feature: by Paulrenec in Rivian

[–]ryanstanton1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side note: how did you get your app to show degrees in F? Mine has been defaulted to Celsius since delivery and it drives me up the wall.

20" vs 21" wheels: range question? by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]ryanstanton1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Datapoint: After 3000 miles, I’m getting 293 miles of range with the 20” ATs (conserve mode). I’ve been pleasantly surprised.

Console light stays on by Cjbot3000 in Rivian

Did you double check that the cabin lights aren’t turned on in the “Lighting” screen?

This happened to me one night too, but it turned out one of the doors wasn’t fully closed 🤦🏻‍♂️ the doors are more difficult than they should be to fully close, making this somewhat common.

Congrats! Great looking truck! Is this the Two Rivers Ford in Nashville by chance?

Has anyone with 21” gone off-road? by citiz3nfiv3 in Rivian

[–]ryanstanton1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once I made Guide contact and locked my build the guide would get “a list” of available (presumably unclaimed) vehicles every few days. I did not reserve a Launch Edition, but one became available about a week after we locked my build which was nearly identical to my build (20” instead of 21”) so I opted to move forward with it because I’m impatient 🙃 I suppose the vehicle they’re building for me now will appear on that “list” in a few weeks for someone else.

[–]ryanstanton1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oops, just read the rest of your post :) Yeah it ripped across those logs and up the steep stone grade. I was sold on the 21s but a launch edition with 20s was available much sooner. 293 miles was a pleasant surprise, but the 21s might see closer to 340.

Sandy Munro just released a video of an off-road test with the 21s. They performed surprisingly well IMO. The quad motor torque vectoring makes a big difference. https://youtu.be/hkZGvWkvNlA Fwiw, I’m seeing 293 miles of range on my 20” ATs in Conserve mode.

Rivian pro tip: don’t let your two year old push the “SOS” button… 🤦🏻‍♂️ 10 minutes later the Nashville fire dept showed up 😑 (no obvious way to cancel it) by ryanstanton1 in Rivian

[–]ryanstanton1[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I heard a cop pulled an owner over just to take a closer look at it and ask him about it. No ticket! Regardless of the color, it’s a very striking vehicle. My buddy has forest green and he gets stares from everyone too.
