Jebinc’s Charging pad mod

[connoisseurr]

No so much paused, but rather sold through. The STL files are on Thingiverse if you want to print them and assemble the solution yourself. (link in my signature)

At the end of the day, it was probably about as good a solution as an amateur on the internet could make. I run one in my R1T to this day and I'm pretty happy with it.

Can you link me to the chargers you included in your kit?

Fun story - I just looked and not only are they available, but they've also added a two-pack:

Wireless Charger

You'll also need two of these - the USB-C male variant, not the 60V one:

Adapter/Module

Additionally, you'll need a 2 to 4 power distro block and a way to tap into the plug. You can either print the adapter that I made or grab on o the molex connectors that is referenced in the other thread and do some soldering.

Though it’s more of a minor feature, the charger design is somewhat analogous to the tonneau issue in that it kind of works in theory, got shipped with the truck, but fails often in the real world. I think Rivian should offer a solution for this or at least admit that it needs re-design and stop shipping it.

Amazon codes B09XV5FGSS and B08TBTK7H3

That 'feature' of the forum needs to be disabled.

It sure does.

@Administrator can you do anything about certain type of web URL being interpreted as media by the forum software? Very annoying.

I've been using this one with a magsafe puck and it's been working great. I'm also able to see navigation right in front of me since i'm not a fan of the Rivian's navigation

That works fine, but when I try to use the link below, the forum software translates it to an embedded media object:

"https://www.amazon.com/YKZ-Magnetic-Wireless-Charger-Charging/dp/B09XV5FGSS"

EDIT: seems to be working now. Did you make a change?

I think that it also adds a referral code on it, which helps defer the operating costs of the forum, which is a good thing. ?

@Administrator - can you also remove the duplicate first name blanks in the profile section to the left of each post? You know, while you're here. ?


(this topic totally needs to get back on point again...)

We do not add ours (or anyone's) referral code to anything posted by members.

I went out to the Venice hub and played there for a few hours with an R1S. I immediately tried the wireless charger that didn't work. The rep said it was because of the case: Outerbox Defender. Other wireless chargers had no problems including the one in the Model Y. So, it looks like I'll have to pick up one of those chargers.
