      I should say that they are using a small FOV from a very fish eye view already so they will be limited on quality without a dedicated camera. But, it does the job I would say so I appreciate them adding the feature for sure.

    Any tips to remove the TP55 bolt from the car? I have a Ryobi 18V impacter with 600 lb torque. It won't budge. Stupid question but from under the car looking up, should turn counter-clockwise, correct? I bought a 1/2" to 3/8" adapter to use the TP55 bolt (from your Amazon line). About to throw in the towel and have someone install for me. So frustrating.

    • @ElectrifiedOutdoors
      @ElectrifiedOutdoors 19 годин тому

      Sorry to hear about your frustration. It takes time for the impact to remove it (I had to hold it in for several seconds before the bolts will start to move). I used a Kobalt 24v with 650 lb torque. You probably already did but make sure the battery in your impact is fully charged. Counter clockwise is correct to loosen (they aren't reverse thread). Here is the impact that I used in the video amzn.to/4cRyeyH . There are good installers out there too if you choose to go that route.

    I liked the floatiness of the truck... it feels very stiff to me now, at least the front does. The rear feels better, not as jumpy. I also have a clunk coming from the front suspension when going over speed bumps and that update made so much worse that I can't even drive on a specific road in my area, I have to take a detour. The new UI design is cool.

    • @ElectrifiedOutdoors
      @ElectrifiedOutdoors День тому

      I'm sorry to hear that. Mine makes some noise and every R1 I have driven makes noise unfortunately in certain scenarios. The T seems to be more prone to making noise in the front but the S will do it too under certain circumstances.

    Awesome video guys. The install looks super easy! I would definitely be interested in a 50/50 split one as well! When I park my truck in the garage, I don't have a ton of space on either side, so splitting the length would be perfect so I don't have to cram my self into the tunnel to get something from the middle.

      Last I spoke to Rivian they said they aimed to have all adapters shipped by July. That's obviously not happening.

With that said, I do have links for discounts on both the A2Z unit as well as the Lectron.

  • @irawatson2006
    @irawatson2006 5 днів тому

    A couple of notes. Per Lectron instructions you should plug the adapter into the vehicle first. Then plug the Nacs handle into the adapter. (I know these instructions are different from Tesla's instructions). Also you shouldn't have to depress the Nacs release to insert the Nacs connector. If you have to depress the release to insert the supercharger handle it's a sure sign that you have the defective (recalled) Lectron adapter. On the original defective adapter you could not insert the Nacs cable unless you depressed the release switch, but the cable could pull out without depressing the release switch. A very dangerous condition and just backwards from the correct operation.

    Part 2 to this video 6:33 should be how much solar do you need to install to offset the grid cost of electricty and is it worth it. US kWh residential rates across states vary from $0.08 (WY) to $0.40 (HI) per kWh. Being able to compare these options will help EV buyers evaluate the value of adding solar vs just paying grid energy rates.

      Excellent idea! Community solar is also an option as well for those that rent or otherwise don't want to install solar in their property. For example, we utilize community solar and that gives us a 10% discount off the utility standard offer service rate plus its 100% renewable energy.

      Fair point. Yes, this video only talks about fueling costs. Extra registration charges for EVs could arguably be included in fuel cost comparisons because with an ICE (gas) vehicle your paying state and federal taxes each time you fill up vs. a larger fee at registration renewal.

    Now add the additional cost of vehicle and periodic replacement of the batteries plus the cost to install the charging equipment. Sounds like a fun project.

    • @ElectrifiedOutdoors
      @ElectrifiedOutdoors 9 днів тому

      Batteries don't need periodic replacement. The batteries will last many many years. Also, EV makers are federally mandated to provide at least 8 years or 100,000 miles battery warranty on new vehicles. Many are better than the federal minimum. For example Rivian offers 8 years or 150,000 miles and Tesla has 8 years or 120,000 miles on many of its models. Try to get a gas car that has a 150,000 mile warranty on the engine or transmission. Don't believe all the EV FUD and misinformation that's out there.

      @@ElectrifiedOutdoors Okay, replacing thousands of dollars of batteries after 8 years is not periodic, my mistake. Thousands of dollars by the way. Tire wear and related pollution, funny, was looking at tires, warranty for electric vehicles was half that of others. Read a lot about Tesla batteries being replaced in 3 or 4 years. We haven't even started about the power grid or environmental impact of making the batteries. Fires. Putting out car fires after an accident, ask your local fire department how much water that takes. In my experience, people who buy these things like to think they bought the best. Ask a realtor how many people think their house is worth more than they can sell it for. Sure the vehicle makes less pollution while actually driving it. Unfortunately, the electricity makes pollution to produce one way or another including wind and solar, which will never be reliable. If your life is such that you drive 10-20 miles to work each day and aren't worried about the current battery technology sometimes causing a bad day, good for you. If someone has a life and wants to spend a month or two exploring the great country we live in, have fun trying.

      I don't think we are going to agree on this my friend. It sounds like you just don't like EVs and that's totally ok. Many of the points you bring up though are not totally correct. Just like with gas cars you will have some failures. Transmissions and engines are thousands of dollars as well. There's no magic vehicle. Every technology will have its pros and its cons. If you're worried about the grid that will adapt slowly, just like EV transition will happen slowly. It's funny they said the same thing when everybody was getting air conditioning. The grid would crash but we all have air conditioning today and the grid didn't crash. There was no apocalypse. I don't believe that I bought the best... Every vehicle has some shortcomings... But I'm happy with electric vehicles and I don't drive them for environmental reasons. I'm supporting jobs and infrastructure here in the United States rather than relying on imported oil from countries who may or may not look to do the United States harm. Electric vehicles don't care whether they get their electrons from solar, wind, natural gas, nuclear, etc. To me that's the best reason of all. All the other stuff is just icing on the cake.

      @@ElectrifiedOutdoors You didn't live in, say, Austin, TX a few winters ago. The grid is so fragile right now it is incredible. There have been several fairly large blackouts in recent history. There is a lot to be said for an all electric car fleet. The technology is not there yet and will get a whole lot better in the next few years. ICE get more economical and cleaner all the time as well and oil is the most abundant and usable fuel we currently have for better or worse. The government should have used the rebate money to fix these two problems and make everyone want to buy these vehicles because they were actually better all around without bribing them to do so. Not sue we have to agree, won't interrupt my sleep at night. I've spent a lot of time last few years making my house more energy efficient.

    • @ElectrifiedOutdoors

      Texas has their own grid... They aren't connected to the national grid. If you have no power how will you pump the gas? There are places where the Infrastructure needs improvement but that's not due to a pack of power or too many EV. Unless they put the entire grid underground (cost prohibitive) there will always be outages and damages that occur due to storms or other natural disasters. This is all the more reason folks should be investing in solar. A solar array and battery storage can help us be less dependent on the grid. Improvements in home energy efficiency are also an important step as well. EVs aren't for everyone yet. The two situations where I recommend against someone getting an EV is if they can't charge it at home or at work or they do a ton of very long distance driving very frequently. If you can charge at home or at work when you're otherwise doing something else. You're saving trips to the gas station, but when you have to take a road trip that does take slightly longer but only slightly because you have to remember. You're typically going to stop anyway to eat or use the restroom when you have a gas vehicle. The world is not going to convert to EV overnight though. That's just not feasible. If for nothing else, the financial reasons alone make that impractical. Car makers want EVs too because there is less to fail and they don't have to worry about all the emissions regs, equipment, and warranties.

    Where I am in Massachusetts, the electric rate varies widely. Much higher in the winter. But, on average the base rate is about $0.16 per kWh. Not bad huh? Yea we are not done. Then you add on the Transmission and Transition charges and a host of state fees and it adds another $0.17 per kWh. So, ultimately the going rate is about $0.33. There is a BJs gas about a mile from my home with current regular gas prices of $2.95. I keep doing cost comparisons between a Toyota Tacoma and a Rivian R1T and it's roughly the same. 0.33 / 2.3 = $0.1434 per mile. $2.95/20 = $0.1475 per mile So, your mileage will certainly vary based on your own situation.

      Wow, that is a lot for distribution charges! $2.95 a gallon is an excellent price. Its about $3.60 per gallon here. Does your cost per mile include maintance on the Tacoma? With the 4x4 you would have diffs, trans, xfer case, oil changes, etc. Lastly, that Tacoma won't be near as fun to drive 😎

I forget all the various things the state charges, but there is a solar fee, a efficiency fee, EV fee, etc. Most are supposed to be used to create benefits for the public. One, for example, pays for companies to come to the house and change bulbs to LED, install a programable thermostat and offer discounts on insulation, window replacement, etc. For some people, this is a good deal. But some of the fees have so far only been used to pay consultants who are "studying the issues". You know, consultant companies that are large political donors. (^_^)

      Yeah 500 kwh would be awesome. The Silverado EV has about 215 kwh which equates to about 225 mi towing range from 100 to 0 and it has an 800v battery which is needed for such large battery packs (faster charging). Only downside is the charge port location in most cases will require unhitching the trailer unless you can find a pull through charger. Nice thing about rivian is the charge port location is right on the front.

    I have had the Ryobi 54" zero turn for going on the 3rd year. It came with GSM lead acid batteries and I just did the switch to LiFe as I thought the lead acid's were failing. I have since found that using a charger with a repair function (I found on eBay), I was able to restore the GSM Lead Acid battery's. That aside, I love my mower. Rinse it off, sharpen the blades and check the tires. I mow 2-1/2 acers with some rather steep hills, blades always on high, and could finish with with 20% left, with the origional batteries. I can now get (almost) 3 mows with the new batteries. I'll run this mower until the wheels fall off.. the deck is bullet-proof, the frame is ridged and it is comfortable to use. I am now looking at this tractor for my wife, as her old Craftsman is on life support and I like what I see. Thanks for the review, it was helpful.
