Saw on Reddit:

That recall is for the c pillar, they remove the top clips so that the side airbags deploy easier.

Came here looking for this. The new speed is so slow I thought something had broken. Glad it’s not just me.

Exact same issue. They just replaced my condenser.

I was tooling around up there last weekend. Be warned that greenwater is very remote and it takes a while to get back to civilization. We might show. On charging, the elevation to get up there soaks up a lot. I was at 85% when I left Issaquah and 60% when I hit the exit for Stampede pass.

About 5 years ago I purchased a jaguar and it popped the engine when the crew was pulling it out of the garage and into the detail bay. They apologized profusely, refused to sell me the car and redid the paperwork for a new VIN. This is what Rivian should be doing for these “pulled out of the...

The max amps setting in your truck is only when doing AC charging. This is a DC charger. You’ll noticed the bigger plug with the DC pins.

It’s weird that it’s always the right front. I’ve noticed that mine pulls to the right when it’s decided it’s going to sag that side.

A “as designed” rattle and a “oh shit this panel is completely loose” rattle is the difference. Since I’ve picked up the truck the other back door is now rattling bad, like a can of angry bees in both doors. My alignment is also terrible. It’s a shame that these quality issues are ruining an...

On a purely thermal management basis, dumping 11kw into a battery vs dumping 150kw doesn’t need a scientific study to validate :) it’s amazing when you think about it. A single DCFS is putting the peak consumption of an entire street into your car.

At 11.5kwh, I just set it to hit 100 and go to bed. Hasn’t failed me yet. I don’t do scheduled Charging though because my PNW power is cheap all the time.

Level 2 to 100% is totally fine for the occasional road trip. DCFS is much much harder on the battery than that.

You can check what temperatures a product is rated for. In this case ChargePoint says “For charging stations set to 16-48 A, the range is -40 ̊F to 122 ̊F (-40 ̊C to 50 ̊C). For charging stations set to 50 A, the range is -40 ̊ to 113 ̊F (-40 to 45 ̊C).” My climate has mild winters.

ChargePoint Flex. Rear knockout hardwired. The holster and hook already mounted was from a previous setup for my polestar that wasn’t using a wall mount EVSE.

Isn’t it just a worm gear? No pushing or pulling.
