It is a great idea. The charger in Pecos Tx is set up at a Sonic exactly like you described. Got a charge and large order of tots there last week. See attached phot from Plugshare (not my R1)

From what I understand, Rivian has given us a promissory note that the hardware will support bidirectional charging and that the software will be changed and boxes will be available once a National standard is agreed upon. So I do not believe the software currently supports Quasar or any other...

I took the I10 Pecos Artesia Santa Rosa Alamosa Route to Leadville and back in June. It went great. Here are my thoughts. Plenty of chargers on I10. One of the plugs at the Ozona charger is slow so it is free. If you want to take a long nap use the slow plug. The hotel has a decent...

Shut up Dale

I have camped 7 nights in my R1S and have had each occurrence happen once. So 5 peaceful nights (for me and my neighbors) and 2 nights of crazy sleep interruptions. You are all correct it relates to the power settings I have fiddled with them. I Was in camp courtesy mode both times but...

Is there currently a way to “turn off the power hood”? Or are you saying Rivian should give us the ability to turn off the power hood?

Good catch. I should have said I charge at a “nominal 40A”. My charger (or the firmware) automatically drops it down to 32A using the 80% rule. This is a good spot to point out the need to manually lower the charge amperage to 80% of the breaker rating when using a dog bone adaptor or...

Yes an update from Rivian would be nice. Last I remember they assured us the R1 had the hardware capability with a promissory note that the OTA and external box would be available after the national standard was approved. The recent silence is concerning since people consider V2H charging when...

I charge at 40 amps and have never had a problem. I pulled wire for 60amps, installed a 40 amp breaker and a Hubble 14-50. If the promissory note for a V2H charging box ever happens, I can yank the 14-50 plug put in a bigger breaker and hard wire the yet unseen magic box to the 60amp feed.

So it seems others are having hot spot malfunctions. A reset seldom fixes mine. Is this going to go the way of the wireless charger that just never gets fixed ?

Has anyone else had issues turning the hot spot on and off? When my hot spot is off l can go to either location to turn it on, the slide bubble turns yellow for on but the hot spot does not come on (neither sends a signal or changes the icon to on). I go back to the setting screen and the hot...

Did about a week of camping w a mattress in the back of my R1S. Everything worked out well, but since everything slides off the ledges, there is a need for a shelf or cargo net to store: phones, tablets, flashlights, and pastries for breakfast in bed. Does anyone have an idea how to ceiling...

What should I have used? What can I do to get rid of the blotches on my Forest Edge interior?

Brilliant. Sharing good ideas is what is great about this forum.

Your install is interesting, well thought out and, well executed. My critical needs are less than yours. Currently sans a decent bidirectional system I will use HD extension cords to run my refrigerators, air handler, router and lighting. Not all at once and not as graceful as your system...
