  1. Charging issue with Tesla -> J1772

    Update: Tesla Gen 2 (w/ wired pairing): it's just broken. Seriously broken. So: I updated completely to Gen 3 Tesla UHC + standard Gen 3. Physical HW: works flawlessly, easy to insert (Rivian), much happier. Power sharing: it's still broken! The good news is that this is - still - a SW issue...
  2. Any problems with Lectron Adapter?

    I have both Lectron and AtoZ : both are designed to be resilient outdoors, so the only downside I have seen is they are a B :-) T to insert (extra rubber seals). I now use a Tesla UHC (updating other thread). As easy to insert as a standard J1772.
  3. Hertz to sell 1/3 of its EV fleet

    https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/hertz-sell-about-20000-evs-us-fleet-2024-01-11/ EV Stocks down, the market doesn't seem to understand *renting* an EV (in a random unknown place) just about skips every benefit of *owning* an EV ... also that Hertz bites, but that is purely...
  4. Yakima x Rivian Ski/snowboard mount

    I must be missing something: these clamps just suck (yes -- no T-slot HW included) : first, the clamps are assembled backwards from the instructions - which may not matter even though one must place them the opposite direction on the rack. The problem is the entire belt assembly inside, which...
  5. Glow in the dark painted key fob buttons... It glowsesss, precious!

    What a great idea. It makes me wonder : the fob is positively ginormous…. The fob has a battery …. any LED templates out there?
  6. 3D printer recommendations?

    This site seems to gravitate towards: https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/x1-carbon-combo as a window shopper only, so was I. Still toe dragging on use frequency and limitations-in-each-machine
  7. Charging issue with Tesla -> J1772

    See my note above: I think so/partially, as if I have both vehicles plugged in (not charging) and THEN initiate a charge, they both charge @ 20 as expected. It could very will be that the Rivian is just too slow to notice the amperage change request, the TWC says "f--k off", and turns off. On...
  8. Charging issue with Tesla -> J1772

    These are gen 2. I ha That's right: Gen 2, uses twisted pair to talk to each other. I tried both brands: Lectron (48amp) and A2Z (80amp), although the latter I didn't try in every combo (e.g. intentionally cause the fault). For sure, both exhibit a rather odd behavior even when charging is...
  9. Charging issue with Tesla -> J1772

    Hi all, I am wondering if anyone out there has had this problem, and how to fix: - My Rivian will not charge @ 40amps, the max amount (via din setting) in my Tesla wall charger (Gen 2) - It will choose 32amps when plugged in all by itself, BUT: my particular setup: - I have Two Gen 2 Tesla wall...
  10. Rivian's van strategy is flawed says Ford CEO Jim Farley

    Just as a baseline, here's a 2016 quote from the CEO of Fiat concerning the Model 3: "If Elon Musk "can show me that the car will be profitable at that price, I will copy the formula, add the Italian design flair and get it to the market within 12 months," - Sergio Marchionne
  11. Driver Under-seat pocket: reliable?

    I was perusing the user guide and found I have an under seat pocket. Yea! They say your can store registration in there, etc. I opened it and: while I get sunglasses, the gap in the back of this uncovered pivoting tray makes me think registration ... or crossbar keys... or anything small/flat...
  12. Tesla to Recall More Than Two Million Vehicles Over Autopilot Safety Concerns

    Tesla is the only one touting full autopilot [Beta]. This boils down to a fundamental question: pretend their autopilot was much better than it is right now: is it OK for it to cause even a single accident (even in the hands of a bad driver), or does one gauge success by a decrease in overall...
  13. Software Update 2023.46.0 is rolling out

    I've done a grand total of 2, this one would not update (repeatedly), until I disconnected the charger. Then it worked immediately. This is Tesla wall charger with a Tesla -> J1772 adapter.
  14. Software Update 2023.46.0 is rolling out

    Do NOT have it plugged in (plenty of charge). Their notes say "do not be connected to a SC" ... but that appears to be incorrect. It simply will fail immediately if you are plugged in at all (L1/2/or 3).
  15. Manual tonneau: something doesn't stack up here ...

    I should note that those who preconfigured with manual tonneau already paid for it. And have a car. With no tonneau. That was a surprise to me at pickup -- I was not notified in any way of missing parts, before and even after. Paid = the clock is literally ticking. If they are quick about it...
  16. Any Recent Trade In Experiences?

    2012 Ford Escape ~$6k. A very small upgrade, very tiny.
  17. Guess I’m getting my powered tonneau this week!

    For the rest of us: We wish you a manual tonneau We wish you a manual tonneau We wish you a manual tonneau And a powered one next year
  18. Took Delivery of FG R1T PDM MP!

    mine was delivered in low mode height as well, I switched to “auto”
  19. It fits!

    That doesn't interfere with the ultrasonics on the car?
