Added a second EVSE after I got fed up with L1 charging. My wife has her Tesla Gen3 WC and I have a Grizzl-e. No more moving cars around. I am careful to not charge both at the same time in the summer (with HVAC running). My R1T is on a 9PM - 8AM schedule, wife charges earlier than that.

Enough already. I'm amazed how many posts there are about this. I don't get the point. Efficiency is hyper-personal and situational.

When I first get a vehicle, I obsess over efficiency. Then I settle in with some standard planning metrics and live life without stressing over it at all. My R1T can get anywhere from 2.2 to 2.9 on the same route, on different days. I plan for 2.3. Why is it 2.3? What's impacting that number...

Start with the halfshafts and the ting washers. Should be a warranty item.

I think the wrist band and the card work the same. There is a very small space on the handle that will read the NFC chip. There is no "tapping". Once you learn the placement (1.5 inches from the end of the handle) it takes maybe 2 seconds. Just hold it there.

Is this a bug fixed in the upcoming R2 release?

I have never turned off climate control while at a DCFC, and I've never see that message. I wonder if climate hold and pet mode are somehow treated differently than just having climate on.

The Terra is significantly larger than the R1. 12 inches longer, 5 inches taller, much longer bed. It looked like the gas engine thing was going to be the only option, so I cancelled my reservation. I already have enough trouble driving and parking the R1 in the city, garages.

Had to look this one up. You can disable the rear sensors, in the event you have a bike rack or anything behind the vehicle. I think you can turn the others off too. I am always super careful when driving the truck, and I get dinged and donged constantly when I am close to anything. When...

Those waypoint chargers are great. Looks like that one was free. They tend to do the full 48A / 11KW not like some other public L2 chargers. Sounds like a great time.

12 stations, all NACS, all open to non-rivians. No other DCFC options around it, looks well positioned to fill a need. Chevron truck stop with a helicopter on top! Rivian Adventure Network - Jacumba Hot Springs, CA | Jacumba Hot Springs, CA | EV Station

Jacumba, CA is live too. They all seem to be in adventurous locations, on-brand. 100% renewable energy. Well done.

You probably won't need the brake, you will be moving so slowly that the regen will stop you almost at once. This is where high-regen would probably be a better bet. Once you get used to it, you won't want to go back.

The auto setting is very aggressive I have found. My AC is very cold. I use auto to get it cold, then turn it off when I get in the truck, just leave it on LO with a low fan speed.

He is replying based on telematics / analytics his company collects. In the context of when he said it, it was about the value equation of lowering the time to DCFC vs the cost involved for the R2, and the population that would actually value it based on the averages. I would not want to pay...
