  1. When your Rivian eats bad electrons...

    That just phase one of the new Cholo mode.
  2. Had to try my new NACS adapter at a Tesla Supercharger

    Maybe dialectic grease? I know that is good for electrical connections. Honestly, I found that the connector loos end up with a few on/off rotations. I haven’t had an issue since the first day.
  3. Question about ChargePoint Homeflex Amps

    Yeah good point. I guess what I am saying is the 48a limit Rivian has for home charging is what many consider the “most efficient” and best for battery longevity. Thanks for the correction. My other point is that most companies don’t offer home chargers above that limit anyway, but some do. I...
  4. Question about ChargePoint Homeflex Amps

    It’s not about the truck, it’s about the charger it is plugged into. House wiring is not built to handle much more than that. I think Ford has an 80A version, but that requires some large dedicated wiring and 100a breaker. Almost no one has more than 48a. It’s actually better to charge at 48a as...
  5. Parking Garage Structural Rating (Inquiry)

    Do they also have restrictions on Diesel trucks? I.e. F250, 2500 HD, etc? A few Rivians won’t break anything anyway. Seems like a stupid theory. Ok, maybe if you pack the entire garage with Rivians it “might” become an issue, but that’s not going to happen. All permitted buildings should have...
  6. Rivian knows when you use an aftermarket NACS adapter?

    The OP, “Daniel Wilcox”, who originally stated he got a “bad boy” email from Rivian, suspiciously shares the name with this guy (link below) who is…wait for it….an inter at…….RIVIAN!?. Coincidence? Maybe. But considering he is the only one who seems to have gotten an erroneous email when...
  7. Dear Rivian Engineers who worked on the Air Conditioning

    Maybe your car is trying to tell you to move away from Phoenix! I mean, 115 degrees? Ain’t nobody got time for dat!?
  8. Charger recommendations anyone?

    I have a Wallbox and a ChargePoint flex. Both work great and no issues. The Wallbox has been outside for 3 years and no issues whatsoever. Snow, cold, heat, all good.
  9. VelociRAX on R1S

    Yep! Ours fits perfect. I love that it ratchets down tight in the hitch receiver because there is minimal movement over bumps, etc. the toughest part is getting it in the receiver because it is high up. Not bad, but I find it best to lower the car first. There is a bit of wind resistance because...
  10. Siping - Whether to do it on Michelin Defender LTX MS/2's

    I would not sipe tires for an EV for the main purpose of tread life due to the modification of the surface area of the tire. This is especially not needed if they are your “warm” season tires! If your purpose is drag racing and you need a little extra traction….ok, I guess. The fact that they...
  11. Yet Another Scam Alert

    I helped out too! I signed them up for a free consultation with Bosley for their male pattern balding and erectile disfunction issues. Poor guy got problems. I am here for him.
  12. Turn off screen torch mode when reversing?

    I haven’t had this issue. It stays at whatever brightness the screen is set. I wonder if it is an option somewhere. Hopefully it is a simple fix!
  13. Feature request for maps (see a second rivian)

    I would like it to show all chargers on the route when planning and allowing for quick changes along the way instead of assuming what chargers I want to go to. Most of the time when I put in a destination, it will just pick for me, but those chargers are not always ideal. I don’t mind it...
  14. Rear bench cup holder swap from R1T to R1S?

    What a dumb design flaw. I don’t see why the S couldn’t have that as well. But, I’m not a Rocket Doctor. ? ?‍⚕️
