I understand what you're saying about myths, but I have not been keeping up with the discourse on this. Personal anecdote: on one of my often-travelled routes, Tesla has a location in Mojave, California that started with an older Supercharger that doesn't accept non-Tesla vehicles. It's still...
I have no idea what Tesla is doing or plans to do. I do believe this location needs to be upgraded to be used by non-Tesla vehicles, or replaced, maybe by a new location somewhere nearby that supports non-Tesla NACS. It would be nice as a driver to see some competition with another provider...
I can confirm, with only Rivian and Tesla selected as networks, both the Rivian app Trip Planner and ABRP direct me to the EA in Dell, MT. I'm guessing it's because the Tesla Supercharger in Lima, MT is not open to non-Tesla vehicles at this time. It's an older location that needs to be...
Recently I had a similar experience with the rear drive unit on a Gen 2 R1S Dual Perf Max. After reset, it seemed OK at first, then after half mile test as I was decelerating to a stop sign, I felt and heard a bang from the rear with the return of the turtle, so needed to resort to Roadside for...
Sorry you're experiencing this recurring nightmare, it is unacceptable and Rivian needs to fix (or replace?!) your vehicle, and provide a loaner while they sort it all out. Recently I went from a Gen 1 R1S Launch Edition to a Gen 2 R1S (VIN 056XXX) and so far I have not encountered any of these...
Another option, working with a trim tool it fit into the headliner.

Gen 1 image quality isn't good enough for them to be useful to me in most driving conditions. It does help me be aware that I hit the turn signal arm too hard and it locked on, and then locked on in the other direction when I tried to nudge it off. Nothing like getting old and losing your...
- Still waiting on a native, usable handsfree messaging functionality
- More native, "on-device" voice commands that do not require Alexa or cloud connectivity
- Digital clock display on driver instrument screen
- Resume cruise control
- Retain HVAC settings, don't forget/reset rear fans to off...
While the only option for purchase on my profile is the shop, my email doesn't mention this limitation of the pre-order pricing voucher. Where was that stated?
This is in the Rivian Service menu, which you need a secret PIN to access (that you can find posted online from time to time, as it changes), and it says:
This procedure will set the maximum charging limit on this vehicle.
Anyone have a Rivian service manual, or have asked a trained technician...
Indeed:

These are Freewire DCFCs with battery storage?

One of my all-time favorite trails. Apparently nothing tricky about this trip? Did you air down, need to move anything out of the way, etc.? You're on 21-inch wheels? How was the battery usage to/from the highway? Where did you charge: Bishop, Bridgeport, or a local L2 charging station? Thanks...
Options for, or replacement of current config by:
Sunroof that opens, with built in movable sunshade
Solid roof (metal outside/fabric inside) with no opening capability
No glass roof on R1S cargo area
Manual HVAC vents (no screen interaction required to change direction of air flow)
Rear...
EA deploys stations from many different manufacturers. It may be the case that some makes/builds of chargers (and cables, and connectors, etc.) have this specific problem more often than others, especially if the problem occurred within the charger and not on the vehicle side. From the photos...
I would charge at Manteca both ways because it's such a good experience on RAN. I would probably charge again at Buck Meadows on the way into the valley to be comfortable and not depend on the slower, crowded chargers inside the park, unless you do a lot of driving while there.
I also recommend Kettleman City over Firebaugh (until the RAN location opens). KC also has an EVRange station at the Quality Inn. https://www.plugshare.com/location/362937
