Hey-oh! Just wanted to stop by from the Rivian forums and say congratulations on the Cybertruck becoming a reality. I know all of us who had a reservation were really eager to see what came to market. From all of us to all of you, happy holidays and safe travels.

No, solaredge makes optimizers that input two panels in parallel and then that pair goes on the string in series.

Looks like they might be wiring pairs of panels up in series. 630v is well above the 350-ish I normally see from my single panels.

Should have been less than that, but who knows, maybe inflation?

No offense, but numbers on the dash don't mean a whole lot. You really need the usable/nominal capacity from the BMS.

They still aren't turned on???

What do we all make of this? Roughly 266 miles of range if 6% is 16 miles.

Well I would argue that fart sounds were off brand for Tesla. And if not off brand, in very poor taste. But as I've always said with regards to Tesla USB media, maybe rivian and Tesla should both focus on legit software improvements that their infotainment needs, rather than seasonal gimmicks.

Back from the Rivian forums. How y'all liking the CT frunk for ants? And if the Model Y looks like a snake, then the Model X looks like a snake that's eaten a Prius but hasn't fully digested it yet. And yes, meep morp, totally looks like a robot.

What i find interesting is that Tesla had their energy products as supplemental business. If it wasnt generating revenue, it at least drove stock price and created buzz. But Rivian has this entire commercial fleet angle that's already real. And if they either fulfill their Amazon obligations...

Funny, we said the same exact thing about Model S back in the day.

Yeah, we are shocked it's actually being produced and even more surprised anyone wants to buy it.....

You *should* be getting a quote for around $250 if your fuse is on the buttom. If you don't, PM me please.

No, but if you know specific instances (vins), I'd be happy to relay the message to the proper region/chapter. What is Tesla's stance on this? Sometimes even just getting information from them helps. As someone heading out of battery warranty myself, these concerns are something i think about often.

I don't feel comfortable sharing names publicly but the way it's setup, I think we have access to anyone we need to have access to. In this case, it was basically "the-buck-stops-here" level of the service arm of Tesla.
