I swap 20s and 21s and have encountered zero issues. I'm programmed to the 21s but swap on the 20s when I head off road. In those situations I'm rock crawling, hitting sand, etc etc and everything works fine. I would expect no issues. Note in the latest AMA the rivian software head said the...
Also once, mine was just after a software update and figured it was related. I actually had the opposite reaction as you... Very happy that whatever bug or watchdog that triggered the restart had zero impact on critical drive systems. I felt safer knowing the UI and associated systems are...
Agree that's annoying but also think its a reasonable outcome. In general I don't think the service centers should be expected to remove aftermarket stuff to do service....I'm sure their insurance would be unhappy and just higher chance of mucking up somebodies aftermarket thing since they...
For anyone stumbling on this later, anyone can order from the rivianservicetools site, and the jackstand is available but I think the Rennstand folks are backed up. The rennstand website shows everything out of stock and they dont answer emails....Rivian Service Tools (run by snapon) took 3...
I had a failure far from home, about 3 months ago. Rivian had me drive in turtle about 40 miles to nearest Enterprise rental. They got me a BIG rental because I had the whole family and lots of stuff. Advised me to leave the truck with key card in the charge port. Next day they towed to nearest...
I've found tapping the "3D" icon at the top right recenters me....I just tap 3 times to get back to the 3D view. Annoying but not the end of the world.
Yeah. If you HAD to charge during peak evening hours, the battery would pencil with a 4 to 6 year payback (depending on assumptions about future utility rate increases and your installer costs). But if you can charge off peak overnight, the battery won't pencil basically ever (for the car...
What utility? Rate structures depend on the utility, but PG&E (for example) has EV specific rate plans...peak is a bit higher but off peak is lower. Then program the car to only charge off peak (and run the dryer and any other big loads you can do whenever in the morning before noon)...
I'm in Cali and worked in the industry. PPAs are usually a bad deal, not always. What concerns me about your quick anecdote is noting battery is optional. That isn't how it works tho since last year (Google NEM3), without a battery you're still paying the utility for power in the evening and...
Do you have an enphase system? Their ev charger does exactly what you want. It has a "self consumption" mode that adjusts the charging rate to perfectly offset solar production. You can Google enphase IQ EV charger, and here's a guy on Reddit discussing his experience with it...
My record. In the picture you can see the severe power limitation at this range, I saw the power meter start to have a limitation at about 5%, limitation wasn't severe, you would barely hit it under most circumstances. At 2 or 3% it started to get impactful and then was getting noticeably more...
There is a loophole in the tax code. If you purchase directly, there are price and income limits for the tax credit. If you lease, it applies to any of the vehicles
Set of 4 20" AT tires, ~12k miles on them. These went to Moab and got beaten up, see photos, all 4 wheels have some level of rash on them. Probably not your wheels for shiny dailies but for those looking for a second set for snow or fun these are ready to go.
Asking $2500 OBO
Located in SF...
I don't think this is the issue, the code is written around worst case conditions (like a really hot garage in the dead of summer) and the overheating occurred at the connection point in the wire block in the charger. The connection was bad. Bigger wire with a bad connection is still going to...
I would wager this is the electrician's fault. The install looks super lazy. First of all, that wire between your panel and the charger should be in conduit (so should your 20A yellow romex to the outlet below the charger, but I digress). Those wires just running exposed would never pass...
Old dale road: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gAa3mYwmhWvmVVHs6
We came in from the north from near 29 palms, trail includes some fun rock crawling up and over a mountain pass, truck is a cheat code. 21s were perfect aired down to 30psi (had a spare just in case, but did not need it). Then once you...
