They did such a great job I bought the team a pizza lunch.

A++ these guys in Niagara

Doing my first DC charge. Pump turns on now temps are all manageable.

In 4 hours I'll do my first AC charge but they already showed it stayed at 11kw from 30 to 98% when I picked it up.

Interesting how many times retrospect tells us to check the simple things first. If only you had known there was a coolant filter in the system that could be plugged by debris from broken bits after a wreck. (where is it?)

It's not an easy thing to get to and you can't replace it yourself it can only be purchased by rivian. It's inside the controller.

It's there for during manufacturing and Assembly process. To catch the debris. I'm sure the accident and flushings didn't help.

Do you have any idea where the controller is? I imagine in a worst-case scenario someone could remove the filter and blow it clean to at least help diagnose the situation. Or fab a bypass to use something else like a standard inline fuel filter if out of warranty and Rivian wants $500 for it.
