Can confirm this on the way to Truckee this past weekend. I was shocked at how much it cost to get the vehicle charged and saw the same rates ($0.68 per kWh). thankfully, we almost always charge at home but this makes road tripping pretty expensive. pge has also jacked up their rates so it's a...

This is identical to what we saw while troubleshooting the panel. After replacing the burned out ac and sub panel breaker, we brought temp guns to the office panel and saw that the one phase was super hot (couldn’t touch it) whereas the other phases were fine. We also saw the main breaker was...

60A breaker to the wall connector and car was pulling 40A on a three phase 204v system. The super strange thing is the ev charger breaker is unscathed. It was the two unrelated breakers (in feed three phase and ac three phase) that fried on the a phase. The ev charger spans b and c phase. Never...

Something similar happened to me a few days ago at the office. We have a gen 3 wall connector hard wired into our main panel and haven’t had any issues for over a year. Earlier this week the main breaker on our 3 phase system melted its A phase and the adjacent breaker also did (AC). The event...

This is probably in the forums somewhere but does the rear accessory mode turn off blind spot monitoring while driving or mess with it at all? I see my window signals lighting up but want to know if it interferes with normal blind spot monitoring function. Thx. Kuat nv2

Is the assumption that Tidal/Spotify/etc. will require a subscription to Rivian Membership when it sunsets at the end of the year? If so, does anyone have any idea how much this will cost? Signed up for Tidal b/c the bluetooth connection in the car was very bad (unlistenable with my iphone due...

same thing just happened. sand from the back of a truck, sounded like rain (very small pieces) and then I realized it was causing a bunch of small chips all over the windshield. really surprised that they caused the cracks. anyone have recommended products for repairing?

Im pretty convinced the tweeters/drivers in the headliner aren’t working at all. Do they only selectively fire under certain conditions? I’ve tried messing with the 3d settings as well as playing a full range of electronic test tones but no sound seems to be coming from them. Also done a full...

Berkeley. Thx.

I've got a Rivian wall charger NIB that I intended to install before realizing I'm out of room in my panel (already have an evse for our other car and we're getting by just fine with one (full panel upgrade is uber expensive)). Just looking to recover original purchase price + tax. Happy to ship...

Definitely experienced porpoising a lot on highways. suspension clearly just mapped directly from the truck without tuning much. the steering response is great imo, really tight turning circle. yes, it has a slight lag compared to my model 3, but the r1s is not a sports car competitor. the...

I thought that could be a problem back in 2017 so they replaced it but it didn't solve the problem unfortunately. The most frustrating thing is that they don't look at the logs at service, they just run their general battery diagnostic test which comes back green and say there's no problem. At...

That is incredible efficiency. Interestingly, I've personally struggled with my model 3 vamp drain since 2017, tesla refuses to consider it an issue and have run diagnostics and then sent me home about a half dozen times since then. I lose 15-20% each night with all systems turned off (sentry...

Yeah, I do think the post delivery fit/finish issues were causing major overhead on the service centers which is slowing down things all around effectively increasing their delivery COGS. The car is really incredible all around for a first large-scale manufacturing effort. I think the fit/finish...

Cant' get the system to pair/work with a commercial liftmaster gate controller at the office. Really challenging because the dedicated remotes aren't powerful enough to reach the antenna. Have to get out of the car while people are waiting and walk up to the control box while pressing on the...
