  1. R1 Gen 2 Vampire drain - what's the battery % loss people are getting?

    My G1 R1T DM loses 1-2 kwh per day. I don't even notice it and I certainly wouldn't sell the truck over it.
  2. Can I use this charger?

    Not sure what your definition of "super slow charging" is. This is level 2 charging. Use the Rivian mobile charger at 32 amps, and that's anything but "super slow". 16 miles of charge per hour. Mobile charger guide: Portable Charger Guide (rivian.com)
  3. Drop charging

    This happens to me with a Tesla wall charger, due to the heat. I find if I start it at 32A, not 48A, it will continue to charge at that level.
  4. How much pulling force can the accessory ports take?

    The obvious answer is to buy another Rivian, and string the hammock between the crossbars between them.
  5. Absolutely Bizarre Charging Experience in Norfolk

    Step 1 - Get the NACS adapter working and practice with it. Step 2 - Go to www.tesla.com/nacs and find the chargers it works at. Step 3 - Get plugshare, and ABRP to help plan. I make that trip kind of regularly. The Tesla SC in Chesapeake off 168, south of where you were, is usually sorta...
  6. What is Connect+?

    No mention of SiriusXM as a streaming service... Whatever happened to that? About the hotspot... Gen1 is probably not 5G capable, but what about Gen2? The LTE hotspot doesn't have that much value for me, I don't think I have ever used it. I wonder how fast it is with 2 or 3 teenagers on it. I...
  7. Tip when updating vehicle software: eject/disconnect your gear guard/storage external/usb-c drive first

    As an IT guy I have no idea what you are referring to as a sop for unplugging USB devices during upgrades.
  8. Adaptive Cruise Control and speed limit zones

    My Gen1 reads the standard speed limit signs. It does not read the temporary ones that are lights, and some other odd formats.
  9. R1T compatible USB type c port splitter(s)

    For $70 you get two extra ports, assuming you don't use the wireless charger. Seems like a decent deal to me.
  10. New graphics language in the app

    I was talking about the app on my phone, not the truck. Should probably reset as you suggest occasionally anyway.
  11. New graphics language in the app

    It does on mine. Something is weird though. When I only select "EA" in the filters and apply them, I get the "something went sideways" message. But, it still displays the EA chargers (even the one that just burned up a R1T in Richmond VA).
  12. Custom short air hose

    I've used the compressor and hose for the tires, and I like the idea of having a shorter cable for other uses. How do you swap out the male for a female? Do they just unscrew with a couple of wrenches? Use Teflon tape when you put the other female back on?
  13. Campground 20A 120v charging

    I do 90% of my charging on a 15A GFCI circuit. Never tripped it. Not a GFCI breaker, a GFCI outlet. Is that the difference?
  14. Electrify America station Richmond VA offline after R1S fire.

    And, this happened at a different EA recently... Rivian R1T EV Pickup Combusts at Electrify America Charging Station (motortrend.com)
  15. Electrify America station Richmond VA offline after R1S fire.

    At least we know it wasn't due to a non-Rivian NACS/CCS adapter. This is why I ALWAYS stay with the vehicle when using DCFC, and I check the port, cable and plug to make sure they aren't over-heated.
  16. Creative ways to extend range and/or charge your Rivian

    Lots of cables & adapters, lots of planning, and always be charging. And most importantly, don't overthink charging.
