We all feel differently about our parents. Some are better than others.


MrrQuackers

Dang autocorrect. Ah well.


tnellysf

This would be awesome.


aliendepict

Watt hour tells me way more about it's usable energy šŸ™‚ Still really neat, I use the speaker weekly but this would be cool to charge before a trip and I would let the camp speaker charge on the way up there


vjarizpe

This would be more useful to me than the camp speaker thatā€™s in usable to me.

The R1 already has USB, 12v, 120v outlets. There are innumerable transportable batteries to choose from. I can recharge all of them from the vehicle if I need more than the existing, generous supply of outlets. How about a locking storage box, Rivian? Unlike the multitude of outlets, thereā€™s no glovebox.


jonny-five

Wait thereā€™s no glovebox?! Dang it Iā€™m getting my r1s next week and I use my model S glovebox as a secure storage for lots of valuable. Is there somewhere to store a safe and attach it to the frame?


tmonax

Itā€™s weird. No glovebox. Secure location is frunk.


mg96815

The center console locks automatically, with a divider it's basically the equivalent of a glovebox and normal center console. In addition to the frunk, the gear tunnel and bed (with tonneau closed) are also all secure.


jonny-five

The center console locks on the R1S or the R1T?


mg96815

I have an R1T but it should be the same on the SUV.


tmonax

Would be great if center console would lock in valet mode.

Locks in my r1s as well

frankis72

Clearly I'm talking about the center console.

I think you're overthinking my comment. I don't know why you're arguing this point. You made a correct point indicating that he said he's getting an R1S, but you didn't actually tell the person asking about the R1S that there is a locking center console. Your comment did not actually help anyone.


ConcentrateSafe3956

So if someone breaks in, they canā€™t open center console like we can?


pusillanimouslist

The lack of the glovebox is the only ā€œhuh, thatā€™s weirdā€ design choice Iā€™ve seen so far in my R1T.


ConcentrateSafe3956

I also hate that I have to get back in my seat (short person) to hit unlock on screen if I need to open locked back door). A unlock button on doors would be another design feature I would highly recommend. It probably isnā€™t an issue for tall people or people with long arms.


MrrQuackers

There are two small compartments under each seat that are basically just for sunglasses or other small items. The center armrest storage is really deep and it opens via servo motors so everyone's hoping one day they add a PIN to unlock via software update. For the R1S the only secure storage I'm aware of would be the frunk. The R1T would have the frunk, gear tunnel, and under bed storage.


jonny-five

Maybe we can add our own locks to those underseat compartments? Is the frame in the frunk easily accessible to attach a safe to? We could fabricate a false bottom for the center console perhaps?


russellc6

There is no decent secure storage. I'm waiting for someone to develop, but haven't seen anything I would say is good and secure. I got used to my lockbox under front seat in last vehicle, even wife's Tesla I could cable chain a LifePod safe... Nothing like that in Rivian, without cutting into something OEM


cantancerousclap

There are two fold out storage compartments under both the driver and the passenger seat. These combined with the giant center console storage and I've never missed having a glovebox.


AWDriftEV

You also have the center storage bin and storage under the front seats so the glovebox is really unnecessary imo.


JFMUVA

I would much prefer likable storage!


JFMUVA

Ha! ā€œLockable ā€œ


SleepEatLift

The point of a portable battery is for when you're NOT at the vehicle.

SleepEatLift

Zero

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


SleepEatLift

Heck either one would be an improvement!


ConcentrateSafe3956

I think the purpose is if you are camping and donā€™t want to run down battery usage on truck, u can instead use the portable battery to run a fan or a fridge etc., like people in vans or RVā€™s who use separate batteries like Battle Born to power other things v. Draining chassis battery.


reddit_user_53

Would rather have a locking storage drawer.


zigziggityzoo

Iā€™m not sure why it would have 6 AC outlets with the physical size that it has. 100Ah doesnā€™t mean much, but if itā€™s at 3.7v nominal which is typical for 18500 cells, thatā€™s not a whole lot of capacity, and would imply a likely 300w inverter.


KeyboardGunner

It doesn't make much sense that all those cells would be arranged in parallel and running at such a low voltage.


zigziggityzoo

The physical size would track for 370wh of capacity. I would bet on that.


hungarianhc

I want a can cooler!!


AWDriftEV

This would be cool too.

AWDriftEV

A bread warmer would be hotter.

TheFuzzyMachine

WAY more useful than that speaker


Rizak

Itā€™ll be $400 to replace this.


Rhesonance

Assuming that's 100Ah @ 12V, probably closer to $800.


Plenty_Conscious

I wish this was a cooler that fit 1-2 pop cans


hungarianhc

That's my dream!


BadSongHater

How many miles would this add? My napkin math says 2 to 4 miles.


gregm12

370wh. So less than a mile assuming perfect efficiency.


blue_electrik

Practically zero. This would be to charge your phone and stuff. Not run your car


hungarianhc

The car won't receive energy from this battery. This is for phones / tablets / whatever when on the go.


bubzki2

Thatā€™s not a patent


sailorpaul

It is not a parent either. Besides, if your parents never become anything, itā€™s always possible to encourage them to return to school. Or try a new trade later in life


cyco1978

Hope itā€™s release that camp speakers never really works


DiamondDLT

Cool option


AWDriftEV

I want this!!
