Hyundai is holding $230 currently on my credit card for a diagnostic fee in case my kid’s EV getting stuck in neutral is not a warranty issue. Also, they will have it 5 days before they can look it. The lowest common denominators of the world causes all of us to suffer.

For use when the 12 volt battery/batteries are dead.

I like the Mercedes and BMW jack points. However this looks slippery and too big in one dimension to fit most floor jacks. If it is replaceable, like some German cars, maybe someone will come up with a better design.

My plan if our R1S with OEM 21” had an unrepairable flat was to use the OEM 20” AT spare in my R1T temporarily. Seems like 34” diameter is closer to the 33” tires on it than the OEM 30” diameter temporary spare. Only difference is that it has a TPMS sensor and I’m not sure if the temporary...

The last two used 15+ year old cars I purchased had the original spares in them. Small, non expanding spare tires were $200+ 5 years ago for a lightweight vehicle to replace (which I did do).

@CoachTy6 It includes “European swallow” in the response

Rivian assistant won’t answer who the baddest b!tch is either (no like cus words). But it does know the terminal velocity of an unladen swallow.

Lease rates for iX3 are out. I’d take an R1S lease at $799 per month $5,694 plus $1,895 down over the iX3 at $915 with $2,500 down. (Not sure about destination fee for BMW). Interesting that they come to about the same.

There is exactly one location in the second largest state in the US (Texas) along major roads that is more than 61 driving miles from 150kW charger. I take many road trips including towing my race car to AZ and NV.

The above is ridiculous except in rare examples where you would also have to plan a fuel stop in a gas car according to my definition of often. Also, if you have home charging: At least 98% of Rivian owners, 98% of the time are within range of their home at 33%.

Thanks for following up. The cost seems excessive. I purchased a few (2 for the R1T with 2 batteries and 1 for the R1S with one) sets of the adapters that allow one to use an off the shelf battery preemptively.

I’ve been using my hardwired Chargepoint EVSE regularly since 2015. Has worked flawlessly.

Your 2022 R1 may have two 12 volt batteries.

@Ceejay Thanks for the reply. Hopefully an electrician can figure out the problem. They will probably at least recommend you replace the 60 amp breaker with a 50 amp. If it is replaced with a GFCI breaker you may run into new problems.

It looks like you have a 60 amp breaker for the NEMA 14-50 socket. I’m not sure if that is a good idea. Also, the wires connected to the 60 amp breaker look undersized in the picture. It’s hard to tell, but letting the forum know what the markings are would be helpful.
