OP used the card on file, the charging started right away, displayed at 185KW starting from 20% SOC. The question is when did it derate for the charging curve and to what KW. I'm not watching that entire video to figure it out. On average, people DCFC 10 times a year (according to RJ). I don't...

So is every accident we see with a Rivian where someone is t-boned a AEB failure? Accidents happen. Are you even sure AEB is SUPPOSED to work with drivers coming at you from the side?

Ya know it might be. I usually stop the HVAC, give it a few seconds, restart it and it is fine. Never looked farther. Thanks.

Auto is too aggressive, it can be loud when it starts, I've had scheduled HVAC start but not cool, etc. On the flip side, it has really cold AC, and both AC & heat come to temperature quickly.

I find the auto setting to be really aggressive, even after they tuned it. I leave it on LO and adjust the fan speed.

I've had two trucks since 2022 and I've done fewer than 10 resets. I don't do it often enough to remember how. Maybe I just don't notice the bugs, and frankly I don't care about the small stuff or quirks with the HVAC. My wife and I don't drive each other's vehicles usually so the OP main issue...

I asked RA about this. I was on a beach highway and the truck was reading the signs as 35, but would then change back to 45 a bit later. Kept happening. RA said the vehicles will "read" speed limit signs AND use recent map data to determine the speed limit. This can cause issues for roads that...

I stopped reading at "lack of CarPlay"...

That's good to know, thanks!

I get that. The Rivian mobile EVSE itself has a limit on 120V charging I think. It's not that the human derates it, it is that the EVSE does. Even if you plug it into a 14-50, the EVSE is only going to "see" 120V, and limit it. See page 13 here: portable-charger-guide-en-us-fr-ca-101822.pdf...

The 30A outlet on many of these units is a TT-30, which is just a 30A 120V outlet. With an adapter, plugged into the 14-50 on the mobile EVSE, thats going to be limited to a slightly fast L1 charge at 120V/16A. I've never tried it, but that is what I've read.

Looks like you get close to a solid 11kw from the Rivian EVSE. I plan to replace my 40A Grizzl-e with a Rician wall unit I have new in box. Is the 11kw accurate?

By "blows a fuse" do you mean the breaker is tripping? Not sure that is heat related. I'm no expert but I would be concerned about this. What size is the breaker? If it is a 60A breaker and you are charging at 48A, there is no good reason for a trip unless something else is wrong.

If the Tesla UWC has a red flashing light at the top, and at the same time it has the pulsing green lights going down the front, you have a temperature related derate. My wife's Tesla M3 does this when it is hot in the garage, and it is always derated to 24A. My Rivian used to do it to, until I...
