After 400-ish miles of around-city driving without using any gas, finally took my first 100-ish mile trip today. I topped off the battery and...
For giggles, below is the APRS data from my first trip out of town in my Gen5. A bit over 100 miles with the first 50 on relatively flat...
Tovli: Not sure if you know about APRS, but to the horror of folk who place a high value on privacy, one use is position reporting. The link...
Leadfoot: Yea, some kind of black wire would be a lot less conspicuous. Hopefully I can find a crevice closer to the Infotainment display too to...
Tovli: Yea, radio work is definitely secondary to driving. The major use though is APRS (new fangled thingy) which operates autmatically. Then,...
There you have it! While it works, there are clearly some areas that I will be tweaking a bit to improve things. I should have done a more...
THE CONTROL HEAD: My main goal for the cabin electronics was to not block what limited window area there was. Compared to my Gen1, the windows...
RADIO HEAD: This turned out to be surprisingly easy! With the battery and antenna in the back, this was the logical place to put the core part...

That is funny! will

dazeja: I got the same story, one dealer said 6-18 months, another said 4-12 months. I went ahead and put myself on the waiting list for both....
All, OK, one more interesting follow-up on GFCI. I did go ahead and purchase an inline GFCI breaker. THE GFCI TESTER DIDN'T TRIP THE BREAKER!!...
Blizzard_Person: The inverter is rated for 1500W and besides a few warnings about not liking highly inductive loads with excessive startup surge...
Yep, fully concur! My main (and original) gripe was only a two-prong outlet in the center console. The GFCI thing was a bit of a rabbit hole...
Just a follow-up, my buddy with a Rivian finally tested his truck. Same wiring, hot and neutral both floating relative to ground with ground tied...
